    Anaststia: The Pain she never said out loud

    This episode of The Otherside dives into a life that never had a chance to be normal. Our guest took her first hit at six years old — weed and cigarettes before she even learned multiplication. By seventeen she was drinking daily, pulled into a generational storm of addiction, violence, and survival. Her family tree is soaked in trauma: drug use, prison sentences, and a brother serving time for murder.Her path crashed into meth, crime, and eventually prison. When she got out, she tried to outsmart the system by switching to bath salts — a way to stay “clean” on tests long enough to get off parole. It worked… until it didn’t. Relapse hit hard. New charges. Probation. And then the big one: a cathinone lab case, accused of manufacturing bath salts while still on paper. Now she’s fighting for her freedom again.But this isn’t just a downfall story — it’s a war story. She’s been in UHRC for a year, showing up every day, clawing her way toward a life she’s never seen modeled. She’s applying for peer support, taking classes, trying to turn her scars into something that saves someone else.This conversation is raw and unfiltered — childhood stolen by addiction, the reality of prison, the pull of relapse, and the brutal fight to break generational cycles that feel unbreakable. It’s messy. It’s honest. It’s survival in its most human form.Welcome to The Otherside — where we tell the stories of the lives we lived, the lives we lost, and the lives we’re still trying to build.

    “In the Shadow of Loss: Mindy Vincent on Healing, Harm Reduction & Mental health. Dedicated to Allie Anderson. And everyone still struggling

    Mindy Vincent (Dedicated to Allie Anderson & All Who Are Struggling) On this episode of The Other Side, Tyler sits down with Mindy Vincent — a force in Utah’s recovery movement, founder of the Utah Harm Reduction Coalition, and a fearless advocate for people who use drugs, people in recovery, and families fighting to keep their loved ones alive. This episode is recorded in the wake of a devastating loss: Allie Anderson, a friend whose life ended by suicide just days before this conversation. This episode is dedicated to her memory — and to every person who has been touched by suicide, addiction, or the invisible battles that so many carry alone. Mindy brings her signature honesty, humor, and fire as she opens up about: - Losing her own sister to overdose - The truth about harm reduction and why it saves lives - Fighting stigma with compassion and evidence - Her Supreme Court case advocating for all non‑violent offenders to have their Second Amendment rights restored - What real support looks like for people trying to rebuild their lives This conversation is raw, real, and rooted in the belief that every life has value — even when the world tries to convince us otherwise. It’s a reminder that mental health matters, that grief is heavy but shared, and that hope can still be found on the other side of loss. For Allie. For the ones we’ve lost. For the ones still fighting. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
