    The Power of Quitting the Negative and Relentlessly Pursuing the Pawsitive

    In this episode of Longterm, we’re back in Dallas for a conversation that is as heartfelt as it is heavy. We sit down with creator and podcaster Jessica Spawn to 'unbox' a story she has never shared quite like this before. Jessica takes us behind the scenes of her 'Season 1'—from the pressure of a stalking case and the isolation of COVID to the moment a 'switch flipped' with alcohol. She describes the terrifying 30 hours in jail that became her ultimate wake-up call and why she now identifies as an 'Action Taker' in her recovery journey. But this isn't just a story about the past. It’s about the '2.0 version' of a woman who is no longer numbing her life, but living it with purpose. We talk about the difference between a 'trauma bond' and true alignment, and why some connections are built for the long term. Subscribe to  @galontheprowl  For more from Jessica go to https://www.galontheprowl.com/ Key Takeaways: The Reality of the Slip: How external trauma can accelerate internal struggles. The Jailhouse Epiphany: The 30-hour period that changed everything. Living 2.0: Why sobriety isn't just about stopping, but about starting a new legacy. As Jessica said during the recording, 'We find each other'. This episode is proof of that."
