    The Moment She Realized Alcohol Was Going to Kill Her

    What happens when you come face to face with death and are forced to make a choice? Ethan sits down with Jaimie Alexander to unpack a raw, deeply personal story about sobriety, self-worth, and survival. Jaimie opens up about being a highly functioning alcoholic, the quiet rationalizations that kept her drinking, and the medical crisis that nearly took her life. What followed was a moment of clarity that changed everything and led to a commitment she could not ignore. This conversation is honest, emotional, and unfiltered, exploring pain, meaning, and the power of choosing to stay.
