Controlled Chaos a Recovery Podcast

Shana Epps

🎙️ Welcome to Controlled Chaos™ — the Recovery Podcast for Real Ones 🎙️ This isn’t your polished, sugarcoated, “everything’s fine” sobriety show. This is raw recovery, real talk, and the kind of stories that crack you open and remind you you’re not alone. Every week on Controlled Chaos, we sit down with people who’ve been through it — addiction, alcoholism, relapse, trauma, mental health battles — and came out the other side stronger. Men and women. Young and old. From the bathroom floor to boardroom meetings… no two journeys are the same, but every story is proof that healing is possible. I started this podcast with nothing but a mic in my bedroom and a prayer that it might reach the people who needed it most — the ones still struggling in silence, still feeling ashamed, still thinking they’re too far gone. If that’s you? Come in. Take what you need. And if you’ve already made it through hell and want to share your story — hit me up. This platform is for you, too. 💬 Subscribe, share it with someone who’s in the thick of it, and leave a review so we can reach more people. Because the opposite of addiction isn’t just sobriety — it’s connection. And this? This is where we connect. Let’s turn chaos into clarity — together.

In this episode, we welcome a courageous woman who has faced the darkest depths of addiction and emerged stronger than ever. In her late teens and early twenties, a series of heartbreaking events plunged her into profound sadness, leading her to seek solace in drugs and alcohol. Once a star student and a promising leader, she found herself lost, homeless, and battling a severe heroin addiction. Listen as she shares her raw and honest story—a journey filled with emotional turmoil, the chase for heroin, and the miraculous moment that led her into recovery. Discover how the tools of twelve-step meetings, sponsorship, and a commitment to service have not only helped her find herself again but have also allowed her to evolve into a kinder, stronger, and smarter version of herself. Through this episode, you’ll learn about the power of resilience, the importance of community in recovery, and how embracing a spiritual life can transform pain into purpose. ✨ Tune in tomorrow wherever you listen to your podcasts!
