    A 6-Hour SWAT Standoff Changed His Life: Taveuan Williams

    Growing up in a gang-heavy neighborhood in Denver, Colorado, Taveaun Williams was exposed to a world of crime and violence at an early age. He became involved in electronics home robberies as a young teenager and began cycling through juvenile prisons by the age of 13. At just 19 years old, Taveaun robbed a RadioShack in 2012, leading to a six-hour standoff inside the store involving a hostage negotiation team and SWAT officers trying to convince him to surrender. He ultimately received a 30-year prison sentence. But what happened behind bars would change the trajectory of his life. Rather than allowing his circumstances to define him, Taveaun embarked on an incredible journey of reading, education, self-reflection, and personal growth. Over time, the young man who entered prison became someone entirely different. Released in February 2026, Taveaun is now stepping into a new chapter of life with a perspective shaped by years of hard lessons and transformation. It was great getting to sit down with Taveaun and hear his story firsthand. This is a conversation about the consequences of our choices, the power of education, and what can happen when someone decides that their past doesn't have to determine their future.

    Six Children by 23, Stripping through Eight Months Pregnant, Using While Pregnant, Escorting and Total Demoralization and Desperation becomes Incredible Entrepreneurial Success with Linnsey Dolson

    By the age of 23, Linnsey Dolson had six children, an extreme meth addiction, and a life spiraling out of control. Five of her children were removed by CPS and adopted out as her addiction took over. She was stripping while eight months pregnant, later working as an escort, and continuing to use meth while pregnant. Some of her babies were born testing positive for drugs, with police called at the hospital. Her addiction even became something she shared with her own father. But Linnsey’s story didn’t end there. In 2015, she got sober and began rebuilding her life from the ground up. What started as a home cleaning business grew into a multimillion-dollar company. She went on to establish a treatment center in San Diego, where she remains personally involved in the day-to-day lives of the clients she serves. In this episode of Chasing Heroine, Linnsey shares the devastating consequences of her addiction, what it took to turn her life around, and how she transformed the pain of her past into a mission to help others recover.

    Growing Up in Foster Care, Injecting Family with Drugs as a Teenager, Living in Trap Houses in High School, a DUI at 20 and More with Karissa Foster

    In this episode of Chasing Heroine, Karissa Foster shares a story of survival, resilience, and finding recovery when life has given you every reason to give up. Placed in foster care at just nine years old, Karissa began drinking and using drugs at 13. By her teens, she was living in trap houses and fending for herself in circumstances no child should have to navigate. At just 16, her life had already taken her places most people could never imagine, including injecting her own aunt with cocaine. At 20, a DUI led Karissa to AA, where she slowly began to hear a message that would eventually change her life. It took time for the words of recovery to sink in, but at 22, Karissa finally got sober and began building a life beyond the chaos she had always known. Today, Karissa is a mother to twin boys and a powerful example of what resilience, willingness, and recovery can make possible. Her story is a reminder that our beginnings do not have to determine our endings, and that even after years of surviving, it is possible to learn how to truly live. Tune in for an honest conversation about childhood trauma, addiction, finding sobriety, and discovering that a different future is possible.

    From Adolescent 5150s to Ecstasy, Acid, Drinking, Whippets and DUIs to Sobriety, Spirituality, and Being a Guiding Light for Men in Recovery

    Jan spent years chasing a good time without much of a direction for his life. Acid, ecstasy, whippets and heavy drinking eventually became multiple DUIs and a growing realization that the life he was living wasn’t sustainable. He moved around, tried to stop, started again, and eventually spent two years using meth before everything finally came crashing down. On June 20, 2016, Jan went to treatment in Canada. He has not used drugs or alcohol since. After getting sober, Jan moved to San Diego and began building the kind of life he never really had a roadmap for. Today, he works as a clinician and program manager at a treatment center, where he helps men work through addiction, find direction and start creating lives they actually want to live. In this conversation, Jan talks openly about what finally brought him to his knees, what changed once he stopped running, and the spiritual practices that have become an important part of his recovery. He also shares some of the ways he works with men in treatment and the lessons he has learned from watching people rebuild their lives from the ground up.
