What's happening with you?
(00:01):
This is the Roi c Gilmore podcast
where real don't get no realer,
and don't come with a filter.
I am your host, Roi c Gilmore.
Today I have a very special guest on the show.
Her name is Stephanie Beaver-Bones
and she is the very definition of a survivor.
She was all over the news missing at one point in time.
(00:23):
And if you type her name in on Google right now,
you can read her story.
And she will be sharing her story with us today
of how a trip in the wilderness with friends
turned into her being sexually assaulted
and being stranded in the wilderness for 12 days
with a broken jaw.
Now this story will be audio only.
So if you ain't there, so grab your headphones,
(00:45):
get your speakers, do whatever you got to do.
Let's jump into it.
Tell me and the people listening your name
and where you're from.
Okay, my name is Stephanie Dawn Beaver-Barnes
and I am from Rocky Mountain House, Alberta.
So I'm looking through my notes here.
I read multiple stories online.
(01:06):
I mean, I typed in your name, you popped up.
I clicked them down there, every link that there was.
I read the story a few times.
I even had my wife read it.
She sent me some questions she wanted to ask
and I wrote down my own,
but I think I'll save those towards the end.
I wanna start with the day of the trip.
Kinda walk me through the day of the trip.
(01:26):
The day of the trip.
I was actually going through a breakup.
So I went out with friends
and we met up with some other people
and we went off-roading.
I don't know, the people that,
my friend's friend weren't too sure about who they,
what kind of type of people they were.
(01:48):
Yeah, I don't know if they put anything in my drink
because all I had was one drink
and then I felt like I fell asleep
in the back seat of a truck.
And when I woke up,
that same person was trying to do stuff to me.
And yeah, then I tried to escape
and then he hit me on the left side of my face
(02:10):
and he broke my jaw in two places.
And then I ran till I couldn't run anymore.
And then I got lost in the wilderness.
And I thought I was closer to the mountains,
but I wasn't.
And I got disoriented and yeah,
I was lost for 12 days with the broken jaw.
And I didn't see my face probably the second day
(02:30):
because I was literally sitting under a tree
and it stormed for a good four days.
I couldn't do anything.
And all I had in my pocket was a dead lighter.
There was, yeah, a dead lighter.
It didn't have no fluid in it.
And that's how my journey began.
I was lost trying to find my way back,
(02:50):
but every time I tried to go back,
I would end up at the river.
So I stuck around the river for a while
and I floated down the river once I got to the courage.
I got out of the river.
I was following some geese, like a family of them.
And I'm thankful for that because if I didn't get out,
(03:11):
I would have clashed into another river.
And that river is called Saskatchewan River.
And it has two currents in there.
And it was like a fast river.
So if I got pulled in there,
that probably would have been the end of me.
Oh, I slept on the river, like on the sides of the river.
I slept in wherever I could find like safe sheltered place.
(03:36):
So I have a few questions.
What did the guy hit you with his fist
or did he hit you with an object?
An object because he only struck once
and he broke two bones in my jaw.
He broke it like,
it was, the jaw was like literally hanging.
I couldn't shut my mouth because it was just hanging.
(03:57):
You think that, do you think that you was set up
or do you think that it was just a spark?
It felt like it felt like,
after a while it felt like it was a setup, yeah.
So those, so how was your relationship with,
so your uncle was the driver, right?
So do you think that it was more of a all of them thing
or just the people that you were with?
I don't, I honestly don't know if it was like all of them
(04:20):
or just a few of them, but that's how it felt
because they had like a drink
and I only had one drink and I was out.
And then I couldn't, and then yeah,
and I woke up to that.
It was really weird.
Do you still talk to your uncle today or any of those?
I know not the guy, but do you still talk to your uncle
or any of the friends that you were with?
The majority of them have passed
(04:41):
and my uncle's still around, but he's not quite all there.
So would you call that karma or just how they ended up?
I don't know if he, I don't think he would set me up,
but maybe it's just the wrong timing.
I don't know.
He was just a driver.
Before we went out for buying two,
(05:02):
like we met up with another group
and then some of those people came in with us,
people I don't usually hang out with.
Okay, so it was like, do you remember how many of it
was y'all, was it like five, six or more than that?
There was probably like,
yeah, I have about five or six people.
They said that in the article that you were eating berries
(05:22):
and drinking the river water were,
so as far as survival skills go,
were those things that you were taught
or was it just like a, I need to eat and drink something
and I don't really care what it is type thing?
In my journey, I was actually listening to
somebody guiding me and talking to me
and telling me what to do pretty much.
(05:44):
Went to find shelter and like to eat and stuff like that.
I know I wasn't alone spiritually.
Okay, I read that as well with the deer and the bear.
It was a brown bear, right?
Yeah, there's two of them.
So there were two bears and two deers
or just a bear and a deer?
(06:04):
Two bears and two different times.
Okay, both of them brown bear.
So they say, if I'm not mistaken,
it's when the bear is brown, you lay down
and when it's black, something about,
you're supposed to make yourself bigger
to scare the bear off or something like that.
I haven't, I read that somewhere on the internet.
Is that true?
Or you don't know?
I don't know.
I was just kind of crouched down
(06:27):
and the first interaction with the bear
is I was actually, you know when the trees like slipped over
and then there's like the root sticking out?
I was sitting in there in that area
for like shelter or whatever.
And it was on a hill and I could see his fur
(06:52):
coming up the hill and he came closer and closer
and he opened his mouth and then I closed my eyes
because I thought that was the end of it.
Like that was the end of me.
When he opened his mouth, I closed my eyes
and not long after that, I opened them and then it was gone.
Like it was a really weird,
(07:13):
I don't know if he was smelling me.
Maybe he pitied me because I was like,
I was like, because my jaw was broken and everything.
I thought he would like eat me or something, but he didn't.
He just smelt me pretty much and then he went,
I don't know where he went.
All I know is when I opened my eyes,
he was gone, it was weird.
So the, did you get, so I also read that
(07:37):
your cuts and things were like that,
that they were infected and that you were bat feet.
And you said it was storming and things like that.
So I imagine you're covered in rain, probably,
your jaw is broken and things like that.
I can only imagine.
What was going through your head
when all of this was going on?
Like, did you keep your composure?
Were you panicking?
(07:58):
Were you thinking that this is the end of me?
Did you want to live?
What was on your mind?
Well, I had all kinds of mixed emotions
and I really wanted to see the people that I cared about.
And I had like the will.
There was a couple of times that I tried to like,
just give up because I was watching my stomach
go down, down, down.
And I was like, when I came back from the bush,
(08:19):
I was less than a hundred pounds.
I was skin and bones.
So there was a few times where I actually almost gave up,
but I just, I kept pushing because I wanted to see
the people I wanted to see,
like the people that meant a lot to me.
My late mom, she passed about seven years ago.
And I wanted to see my baby.
(08:40):
Oh, you have a child?
Yeah, I have one kid, yep.
I did not know that.
I mean, were you, your mother at the time this happened
or did you have the kid afterwards?
I was a mother at the time it happened.
Oh man, that definitely makes sense.
So the berries, were they like blackberries, raspberries?
They were mostly raspberries and blueberries.
(09:01):
Okay, so they were safe to eat.
On the news article, they put the wrong berries.
They put snakeberries, which was wrong.
That's the first thing that came to mind.
I'm like, did you eat snakeberries or you know?
No, the person that recorded,
I probably didn't know her stuff.
She's like, oh, those are berries.
She's just like, take a picture of them.
Those are not the berries.
(09:22):
You can get placed with those.
Yeah, snakeberries are not it.
I grew up in the country and there are certain berries
you can eat, certain berries you don't touch.
Did the river water make you sick at all?
So, I don't know.
I was pretty thirsty.
So like I had to survive.
So I just drank it.
There was, cause I know that like the rigs and stuff
(09:43):
that go out there and they get water and stuff.
I did see some stuff in the like the water,
but I still drank it.
Okay, out of the 12 days, which day was the hardest
or which day do you think was the most difficult
for you and why?
Oh, probably the day I stopped counting the days
was probably halfway through it.
So the sixth day I stopped counting the days
(10:06):
and I was like, pretty much getting ready to pass.
But I just kept going and going.
Yeah, the sixth day I think would probably be the hardest.
Me thinking that there's no one gonna come for me.
I did hear horses out there, but there,
I don't know if there was really horses out there.
(10:27):
Like I went to like into like a spiritual,
I don't know.
I don't know what you call it, but.
I was hearing things that weren't there.
Something like that, yes.
Okay.
I was seeing and hearing things that I don't think
that were actually there, but I could see them.
And the voices that I heard and then the people
I can hear from the distance, like I could hear
(10:49):
all these things, but I can't see them.
It makes sense.
So I know that when you're on the verge of death,
you get closer to the spirit realm.
The veil that separates the living and the dead
becomes weakened because you know,
you're about to transition.
And I do think that that's why you were able to hear
the spirits and see different things like that.
And I do think that there were spirits guiding you,
(11:12):
trying to help you on your journey.
And in a sense, I think that they were helping you
because it wasn't your time to go yet.
So with all of this, has your view towards men
shifted at all?
I mean, I can only imagine going through something
like that from a guy.
Do you currently have a boyfriend?
Do you, or are you just disgusted by men
(11:33):
or kind of walking through that?
After that, I was alone for a good, see, probably a decade.
I still have trust issues with men,
unless I know they're healed, like mentally,
like they're healed and they wouldn't hurt me in any way
because, yeah.
(11:54):
That makes sense.
That makes sense.
Are you currently in a relationship now
or are you still just in the healing process?
I'm actually talking to someone right now.
Pretty much, that's what it.
Okay.
So what advice would you specifically give to women
from this experience?
To love themselves and to find their worth
(12:14):
and don't just go with whoever that will hurt you.
Energetically, probably, yeah.
How did this experience impact your womanhood?
Things are different for women than it is men
and things hit a lot deeper for women.
So how did this impact you as a woman?
(12:35):
At, you were 25, right?
It actually made me a lot stronger,
mentally, physically, and emotionally.
I learned a lot about myself
through after that had happened to me.
And yeah, I try to help other women
that are in abusive relationships or anything like that.
I talk to them and tell them my experience of it.
(12:56):
That's what I use it as anyway,
for people that are stuck in relationships
and stuff like that.
There's always a way out,
not to get out before it gets to that extent.
Okay, okay.
That makes sense.
Yeah, yeah, definitely, a thousand percent.
So in one of the articles that I read,
you said that it taught you courage and gratitude.
I know we just kinda spoke a little bit on that,
(13:17):
but when you said it back then,
kinda dive a little deeper on what you meant by that.
Yeah, that's how,
when I sat by the river for two days,
crying at the river,
there was a bear sitting right across the river
and he was sitting on his butt.
He looked like a human to me,
like the way he was sitting.
(13:39):
And we just had a moment there, like,
I stopped crying and I just looked at him
and we had some kind of moment there.
And then after that, I jumped and I went into the water
and then I floated down.
And that's when I thanked the sun for everything,
to keep me warm.
Like things like little things like that,
(13:59):
to keep me warm, to shine on me and stuff like that.
Because I was freezing, just little things like that.
I was grateful for it.
I got the courage to get into the water
because if I stayed at that water,
I probably would have died there,
if I didn't get into that water and float it down.
Okay, so walk me through the last day when you got found.
(14:20):
I was four kilometers away from the main road.
So when I came out of the river,
I followed some animals out of the river.
And then there was like a opening
and there was a bunch of lavender flowers,
like they're lavender.
And then I went walking through them.
And then there was a deer that came like prancing around me,
like trying to play with me,
(14:41):
but he was like leading me somewhere.
So I followed him and then he led me to these lease roads.
And so I went walking down the lease roads.
And when I found the lease roads,
there was like these sites where you can like,
they go check on whatever.
I went over there and then I pushed a bunch of buttons
(15:02):
so I can alarm them to come check on their stuff,
so I think they can come there.
And cause I don't know what I was doing.
I was like kind of scared I might blow myself up
or whatever.
I did that and I went on walking down the road again
and I slept in and one of those,
it was a really old, old rig thing.
I don't know if it's a rig,
(15:23):
but it was old like shelter.
It looked like a shelter of some sort.
And then that's when I found cardboard
and I found wiring and I made shoes out of them.
And I went walking down more
and that's when I seen the truck coming from a distance.
And that was one of the maintenance guys coming
and he found me and he said,
(15:44):
when he first, he's like, I thought you were a deer.
And he couldn't really hear me
cause I had my broken jaw and I was like mumbling to him.
I was like, help me.
And he's probably like so scared.
But yeah, that's when he got me in the truck
and then called 911.
And I read in the article that you were returned
on your mother's birthday, right?
Yes, that's what she always cried about.
(16:06):
So that was the best gift that she had.
Like her only daughter coming home on that day.
Yeah, I can only imagine, man.
That's probably the best gift she's ever received.
Yeah.
How did your daughter react?
She was, her too, she had some spiritual stuff.
Cause she was like nine or eight years old.
(16:26):
And her grandma would tell me what she was doing.
She would make a bed for me right beside her.
And she was talking about me.
Like she could see me floating in a river.
And I was floating in the river.
Yeah.
So we have that connection too.
Yeah.
That's pretty dope, man.
That's pretty dope.
Did you ever sit down and talk to her about it?
(16:47):
Or just when you saw her,
you just wanted to leave it in the past
and never bring it up again.
We talked about it.
Yeah.
She talked about it.
Yeah.
How did you react when she told you
that she saw you in the river and that essentially,
she was kind of, go ahead.
Yeah, that she's connected.
We're connected and she has, yeah.
So do you think that you and her went through
(17:08):
a spiritual awakening at the same time,
or it was kind of destined for y'all
to go through that together?
Maybe, maybe she helped me.
Maybe she helped me some way, somehow.
Cause she kept making beds, like a bed beside her.
When she'd go to sleep, she would, yeah.
Kind of hearing that, man.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was your daughter
that was kind of one of the voices that you were hearing,
(17:30):
kind of guiding you through that situation.
Yeah, like to come home, yeah.
Yeah, that's a different type of synchronization.
That's pretty deep.
That is pretty deep.
Yeah.
It is.
So when you got home, what was the very first thing
you did after, well, probably went to the hospital,
but after you spoke to your mother and spoke to your daughter,
(17:52):
what was one of the first things that you wanted to do?
Get some food, drink some water.
Yeah.
They couldn't give me any food or water
because they had to do tests on me first
before they even touched me.
So I was still suffering in the hospital for a bit.
And then the news people came in there
and a lot of people came in there.
And I was like, ah.
But once they gave me that IV to not feel pain anymore,
(18:15):
I was just like laying there like, I don't know,
didn't talk, couldn't do nothing.
I just lay there.
Yeah.
And they took pictures.
Found some morphine.
Yeah, yeah, morphine, yeah.
That's what they gave me when they first,
cause I remember coming on the ambulance
and I was looking out that little window
and it was a nice, like nice sunny day
and I could see the grass and everything.
(18:37):
And once they gave me that morphine, I was like, ah.
I just felt like I needed to sleep and everything.
Yeah, hey.
Oh yeah.
So when you, how long did you stay in the hospital
for how long?
Cause I read that it took multiple surgeries
to correct your jaw.
Oh my God, how many times?
The first time that they did, they tried to fix my jaw.
It fell apart inside my jaw
(19:00):
and the screws were coming out of my skin,
like out of my chin.
I have a scar there right now.
There was that hole on the side.
There was a hole leakage there for a whole year.
It took a while for it to heal.
I almost lost my jaw cause how badly infected it was.
And I'm still going through,
I'm still going through stuff with my jaw.
(19:20):
I might have to get a joint replacement
because the jaw is like, it's not good.
Why do you think that this happened?
I know a lot of times when we go through things
and it's terrible things,
the first thing that comes to mind is why is this happening
to me?
Did you ever ask yourself that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I went through it for something.
I know I was supposed to help and help a lot of people
(19:43):
when like, during like after.
That's all I know is I'm,
I know I'm going to be helping a lot of people.
Do you think that you are doing that now
or do you think that the best has yet to come
as far as you being on?
The best has yet to come.
I like that.
I wasn't able to talk before
because I was stuck in a contract.
(20:05):
This girl literally got me on my vulnerable times
and then I was stuck in it for a while.
And I finally got out of it because she didn't commit,
she didn't commit to her, didn't commit to it.
And then the year was up as of January.
So that thing is, that contract is void.
This year, January.
And that was a producer, right?
Trying to make a movie out of everything, right?
(20:26):
Yeah, but she didn't have,
she doesn't have no knowledge of anything.
So she pretty much sat on my story
and did do nothing about it and wasting my time.
Yeah, that's crazy.
But I mean, I think it worked out in your favor though.
Yeah.
It worked out in your favor.
Yeah, it did actually because through that whole time,
I actually went through some healing phases within myself.
(20:47):
I had to do, I had to go through stuff like
to heal that part of me.
So I'm able to talk about it better than be triggered
because yeah, it's a lot easier now than before.
So I know in the hospital,
they treated the physical symptoms,
but what about the emotional and the mental?
Did you ever see mental health
or was that something that you just did on your own?
(21:10):
Because I know a lot of people
don't really believe in mental health
and they don't believe in talking to therapists.
I talked to therapists.
There is, it's like spiritually, mentally and physically.
When they did work after like just probably two years ago,
when they actually did,
cause I have a big scar on my jaw.
When they try to pop the scarring out,
there was a lot of built up trauma emotionally in that.
(21:33):
I could not stop crying.
Like I cried so much and I couldn't control it.
So I know there's like built up trauma that there was there,
even though it's like, oh, it's gone.
It's like, it was still there.
Okay.
So this happened when you were 25.
I know you're not supposed to ask a lady her age,
but I don't think you are an old geezer.
(21:55):
How old are you now?
I'm 36.
Okay. So this was 16 years ago, right?
Around there.
Is it fall 11?
No, 2013, cause it happened in 2013.
13 is 25 now.
I don't want to sound slow as hell on this camera doing math.
Let me pull out my phone.
That's 12 years, isn't it?
12 years?
(22:16):
That's 13 years.
Let me see, 2000.
Both of us might sound slow.
Damn, hold on, 2026.
Damn, both embarrassing us.
2025 minus 2013, 12 years.
Yeah, 12 years.
Oh man.
I said damn 16, didn't I?
My slow ass.
(22:37):
I graduated a little while back, man.
But hey, I'm still an intelligent guy.
I just had a moment.
I had a moment.
So when you got your jaw fixed
and you went back home after the hospital,
were you still able to get back to, I guess,
somewhat of a normal life?
Were you able to eat what you wanted to eat,
(22:58):
drink what you wanted to drink?
Not at all.
I had my jaw wired shut.
I had to literally eat through a straw
from the broken teeth.
So would you say that getting home was more difficult
than being in the forest or was it equally as difficult?
How would you describe that?
(23:18):
I would say more relieved that I'm actually safe at home.
And eating, I was like, it was okay.
And I never knew about opiates, like pain meds,
until I actually got my jaw broken.
So they had me on all these medications
and I was like always on them.
Yeah, yeah, drowsy.
Drowsy, sleepy, yeah.
(23:40):
Trust me, I knew about that.
In the military, the VA,
one thing they're very good at is giving you drugs.
No matter if you got a broken bone
or broken heart, here's some drugs.
I see that you are in a better position than back then
because you're talking to someone, your daughter.
(24:01):
You're back home, you know what I'm saying?
I think that being back home is better
than definitely where you were before.
Do you still go back there?
Have you been back there since
or you just evade that part altogether?
I actually go over there and then the last time
I went over there, I gave an offering and then I hugged.
I hugged the tree and I released some stuff there.
(24:23):
I guess it's not, yeah, it's not, doesn't.
I tried to go back, way back there
but Mico's can't go way back there.
And I also slept in a swamp for two days.
A swamp, listen man, I trained in the swamp
and from that experience, I hated it.
I got eight and not more.
Yeah, mosquitoes, right?
Yeah, but I put all the swamp stuff on me
(24:45):
to cover me like a blanket.
Yeah.
I hear other animals coming around
so I tried to blend it and stuff and just get some rest.
Damn, that's a lot.
But I mean, definitely your survival instincts kicked in
but I can only imagine sleeping in a swamp, man.
I hated training in a swamp.
They made us crawl through all that swamp water
(25:06):
and the smell and the mosquitoes and the frogs
and the snakes, wet and hot.
Yeah, I hated it.
Yeah, yeah, you definitely did that, man.
You don't hear things like this often
and especially from a woman.
I gotta give it to you.
Your strength is to go through all of that
(25:26):
and still be standing and still be in your right mind
and to adapt the way that you did.
I knew a lot of grown men would have folded
on the first day.
Yeah.
So I know that it speaks of your character.
It speaks of your strength.
I'm not scared of you.
I'm scared of you.
You're a strong woman.
And I had my wife read the story as well
(25:46):
and she was blown away at your strength.
She was just like, you know, that's a strong woman.
And then me and her kind of spoke on the strength of a woman
and how men like to undermine women
and think that women are weak and things like this.
And she was like, this woman here,
she is a testament to the strength of a woman.
And I ain't gonna lie, man.
(26:06):
It kind of had me looking at my wife different.
Like I really do need this woman.
So I mean, having a strong woman at your side is essential.
And as much as I hate to admit it,
my wife taught me that she did.
Yeah.
And I think that whoever your husband is,
he will be a lucky man to have such a strong woman
(26:28):
at his side.
And I think that your daughter is a lucky girl
to have such a strong mother.
It's an honor to be able to speak to you
and hear your testimony.
And I appreciate you for trusting me to come
onto my platform and tell your testimony.
What led you to want to share this with me?
I know you said that you haven't really spoke about it.
(26:50):
What made you want to share it with me?
Cause I have to bring it out somehow.
I can't keep being quiet about it.
I need to bring it out.
I need to share.
That's how I felt when I went through
what I went through with that girl.
I know you say you saw my witchcraft testimony.
That's how I felt.
That's what drew me to you.
Cause I had some similar things happen to me
(27:12):
and I was like, oh, he knows.
That's why the reason why I want to follow you.
Cause yeah, there's some stuff that I've been through too.
Spiritually, I had to protect myself.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. I have my Bible open too all the time.
I always pray every day.
Yeah.
It truly has been an honor.
(27:32):
Thank you.
If you had to give advice to the people listening right now,
male or female, from your experience,
what would you say to them?
What would I say to them?
Trust your intuition when it comes to relationships,
either side, cause women can be pretty dangerous too.
Hell yeah.
(27:54):
Yeah.
So trust your intuition.
I like it.
I like it.
We live and we learn, right?
We live and we learn.
But I appreciate your time.
And I look forward to hearing from you in the future.
And if, well, when the movie kicks off, holler at me.
I would love to be a police officer in the movie
or anything like that.
All right.
And take care, be good and enjoy your Saturday.
(28:16):
It's my favorite day of the week.
Yeah.
Enjoy yours as well.
All right then, take care.
Thank you again.
What a testimony.
If I had to learn anything from that dog,
is that you don't know what you're capable of
until you're put in a situation.
So don't ever doubt yourself or count yourself out.

What's happening with you?
(00:01):
This is the Roi c Gilmore podcast
where real don't get no realer,
and don't come with a filter.
I am your host, Roi c Gilmore.
Today I have a very special guest on the show.
Her name is Stephanie Beaver-Bones
and she is the very definition of a survivor.
She was all over the news missing at one point in time.
(00:23):
And if you type her name in on Google right now,
you can read her story.
And she will be sharing her story with us today
of how a trip in the wilderness with friends
turned into her being sexually assaulted
and being stranded in the wilderness for 12 days
with a broken jaw.
Now this story will be audio only.
So if you ain't there, so grab your headphones,
(00:45):
get your speakers, do whatever you got to do.
Let's jump into it.
Tell me and the people listening your name
and where you're from.
Okay, my name is Stephanie Dawn Beaver-Barnes
and I am from Rocky Mountain House, Alberta.
So I'm looking through my notes here.
I read multiple stories online.
(01:06):
I mean, I typed in your name, you popped up.
I clicked them down there, every link that there was.
I read the story a few times.
I even had my wife read it.
She sent me some questions she wanted to ask
and I wrote down my own,
but I think I'll save those towards the end.
I wanna start with the day of the trip.
Kinda walk me through the day of the trip.
(01:26):
The day of the trip.
I was actually going through a breakup.
So I went out with friends
and we met up with some other people
and we went off-roading.
I don't know, the people that,
my friend's friend weren't too sure about who they,
what kind of type of people they were.
(01:48):
Yeah, I don't know if they put anything in my drink
because all I had was one drink
and then I felt like I fell asleep
in the back seat of a truck.
And when I woke up,
that same person was trying to do stuff to me.
And yeah, then I tried to escape
and then he hit me on the left side of my face
(02:10):
and he broke my jaw in two places.
And then I ran till I couldn't run anymore.
And then I got lost in the wilderness.
And I thought I was closer to the mountains,
but I wasn't.
And I got disoriented and yeah,
I was lost for 12 days with the broken jaw.
And I didn't see my face probably the second day
(02:30):
because I was literally sitting under a tree
and it stormed for a good four days.
I couldn't do anything.
And all I had in my pocket was a dead lighter.
There was, yeah, a dead lighter.
It didn't have no fluid in it.
And that's how my journey began.
I was lost trying to find my way back,
(02:50):
but every time I tried to go back,
I would end up at the river.
So I stuck around the river for a while
and I floated down the river once I got to the courage.
I got out of the river.
I was following some geese, like a family of them.
And I'm thankful for that because if I didn't get out,
(03:11):
I would have clashed into another river.
And that river is called Saskatchewan River.
And it has two currents in there.
And it was like a fast river.
So if I got pulled in there,
that probably would have been the end of me.
Oh, I slept on the river, like on the sides of the river.
I slept in wherever I could find like safe sheltered place.
(03:36):
So I have a few questions.
What did the guy hit you with his fist
or did he hit you with an object?
An object because he only struck once
and he broke two bones in my jaw.
He broke it like,
it was, the jaw was like literally hanging.
I couldn't shut my mouth because it was just hanging.
(03:57):
You think that, do you think that you was set up
or do you think that it was just a spark?
It felt like it felt like,
after a while it felt like it was a setup, yeah.
So those, so how was your relationship with,
so your uncle was the driver, right?
So do you think that it was more of a all of them thing
or just the people that you were with?
I don't, I honestly don't know if it was like all of them
(04:20):
or just a few of them, but that's how it felt
because they had like a drink
and I only had one drink and I was out.
And then I couldn't, and then yeah,
and I woke up to that.
It was really weird.
Do you still talk to your uncle today or any of those?
I know not the guy, but do you still talk to your uncle
or any of the friends that you were with?
The majority of them have passed
(04:41):
and my uncle's still around, but he's not quite all there.
So would you call that karma or just how they ended up?
I don't know if he, I don't think he would set me up,
but maybe it's just the wrong timing.
I don't know.
He was just a driver.
Before we went out for buying two,
(05:02):
like we met up with another group
and then some of those people came in with us,
people I don't usually hang out with.
Okay, so it was like, do you remember how many of it
was y'all, was it like five, six or more than that?
There was probably like,
yeah, I have about five or six people.
They said that in the article that you were eating berries
(05:22):
and drinking the river water were,
so as far as survival skills go,
were those things that you were taught
or was it just like a, I need to eat and drink something
and I don't really care what it is type thing?
In my journey, I was actually listening to
somebody guiding me and talking to me
and telling me what to do pretty much.
(05:44):
Went to find shelter and like to eat and stuff like that.
I know I wasn't alone spiritually.
Okay, I read that as well with the deer and the bear.
It was a brown bear, right?
Yeah, there's two of them.
So there were two bears and two deers
or just a bear and a deer?
(06:04):
Two bears and two different times.
Okay, both of them brown bear.
So they say, if I'm not mistaken,
it's when the bear is brown, you lay down
and when it's black, something about,
you're supposed to make yourself bigger
to scare the bear off or something like that.
I haven't, I read that somewhere on the internet.
Is that true?
Or you don't know?
I don't know.
I was just kind of crouched down
(06:27):
and the first interaction with the bear
is I was actually, you know when the trees like slipped over
and then there's like the root sticking out?
I was sitting in there in that area
for like shelter or whatever.
And it was on a hill and I could see his fur
(06:52):
coming up the hill and he came closer and closer
and he opened his mouth and then I closed my eyes
because I thought that was the end of it.
Like that was the end of me.
When he opened his mouth, I closed my eyes
and not long after that, I opened them and then it was gone.
Like it was a really weird,
(07:13):
I don't know if he was smelling me.
Maybe he pitied me because I was like,
I was like, because my jaw was broken and everything.
I thought he would like eat me or something, but he didn't.
He just smelt me pretty much and then he went,
I don't know where he went.
All I know is when I opened my eyes,
he was gone, it was weird.
So the, did you get, so I also read that
(07:37):
your cuts and things were like that,
that they were infected and that you were bat feet.
And you said it was storming and things like that.
So I imagine you're covered in rain, probably,
your jaw is broken and things like that.
I can only imagine.
What was going through your head
when all of this was going on?
Like, did you keep your composure?
Were you panicking?
(07:58):
Were you thinking that this is the end of me?
Did you want to live?
What was on your mind?
Well, I had all kinds of mixed emotions
and I really wanted to see the people that I cared about.
And I had like the will.
There was a couple of times that I tried to like,
just give up because I was watching my stomach
go down, down, down.
And I was like, when I came back from the bush,
(08:19):
I was less than a hundred pounds.
I was skin and bones.
So there was a few times where I actually almost gave up,
but I just, I kept pushing because I wanted to see
the people I wanted to see,
like the people that meant a lot to me.
My late mom, she passed about seven years ago.
And I wanted to see my baby.
(08:40):
Oh, you have a child?
Yeah, I have one kid, yep.
I did not know that.
I mean, were you, your mother at the time this happened
or did you have the kid afterwards?
I was a mother at the time it happened.
Oh man, that definitely makes sense.
So the berries, were they like blackberries, raspberries?
They were mostly raspberries and blueberries.
(09:01):
Okay, so they were safe to eat.
On the news article, they put the wrong berries.
They put snakeberries, which was wrong.
That's the first thing that came to mind.
I'm like, did you eat snakeberries or you know?
No, the person that recorded,
I probably didn't know her stuff.
She's like, oh, those are berries.
She's just like, take a picture of them.
Those are not the berries.
(09:22):
You can get placed with those.
Yeah, snakeberries are not it.
I grew up in the country and there are certain berries
you can eat, certain berries you don't touch.
Did the river water make you sick at all?
So, I don't know.
I was pretty thirsty.
So like I had to survive.
So I just drank it.
There was, cause I know that like the rigs and stuff
(09:43):
that go out there and they get water and stuff.
I did see some stuff in the like the water,
but I still drank it.
Okay, out of the 12 days, which day was the hardest
or which day do you think was the most difficult
for you and why?
Oh, probably the day I stopped counting the days
was probably halfway through it.
So the sixth day I stopped counting the days
(10:06):
and I was like, pretty much getting ready to pass.
But I just kept going and going.
Yeah, the sixth day I think would probably be the hardest.
Me thinking that there's no one gonna come for me.
I did hear horses out there, but there,
I don't know if there was really horses out there.
(10:27):
Like I went to like into like a spiritual,
I don't know.
I don't know what you call it, but.
I was hearing things that weren't there.
Something like that, yes.
Okay.
I was seeing and hearing things that I don't think
that were actually there, but I could see them.
And the voices that I heard and then the people
I can hear from the distance, like I could hear
(10:49):
all these things, but I can't see them.
It makes sense.
So I know that when you're on the verge of death,
you get closer to the spirit realm.
The veil that separates the living and the dead
becomes weakened because you know,
you're about to transition.
And I do think that that's why you were able to hear
the spirits and see different things like that.
And I do think that there were spirits guiding you,
(11:12):
trying to help you on your journey.
And in a sense, I think that they were helping you
because it wasn't your time to go yet.
So with all of this, has your view towards men
shifted at all?
I mean, I can only imagine going through something
like that from a guy.
Do you currently have a boyfriend?
Do you, or are you just disgusted by men
(11:33):
or kind of walking through that?
After that, I was alone for a good, see, probably a decade.
I still have trust issues with men,
unless I know they're healed, like mentally,
like they're healed and they wouldn't hurt me in any way
because, yeah.
(11:54):
That makes sense.
That makes sense.
Are you currently in a relationship now
or are you still just in the healing process?
I'm actually talking to someone right now.
Pretty much, that's what it.
Okay.
So what advice would you specifically give to women
from this experience?
To love themselves and to find their worth
(12:14):
and don't just go with whoever that will hurt you.
Energetically, probably, yeah.
How did this experience impact your womanhood?
Things are different for women than it is men
and things hit a lot deeper for women.
So how did this impact you as a woman?
(12:35):
At, you were 25, right?
It actually made me a lot stronger,
mentally, physically, and emotionally.
I learned a lot about myself
through after that had happened to me.
And yeah, I try to help other women
that are in abusive relationships or anything like that.
I talk to them and tell them my experience of it.
(12:56):
That's what I use it as anyway,
for people that are stuck in relationships
and stuff like that.
There's always a way out,
not to get out before it gets to that extent.
Okay, okay.
That makes sense.
Yeah, yeah, definitely, a thousand percent.
So in one of the articles that I read,
you said that it taught you courage and gratitude.
I know we just kinda spoke a little bit on that,
(13:17):
but when you said it back then,
kinda dive a little deeper on what you meant by that.
Yeah, that's how,
when I sat by the river for two days,
crying at the river,
there was a bear sitting right across the river
and he was sitting on his butt.
He looked like a human to me,
like the way he was sitting.
(13:39):
And we just had a moment there, like,
I stopped crying and I just looked at him
and we had some kind of moment there.
And then after that, I jumped and I went into the water
and then I floated down.
And that's when I thanked the sun for everything,
to keep me warm.
Like things like little things like that,
(13:59):
to keep me warm, to shine on me and stuff like that.
Because I was freezing, just little things like that.
I was grateful for it.
I got the courage to get into the water
because if I stayed at that water,
I probably would have died there,
if I didn't get into that water and float it down.
Okay, so walk me through the last day when you got found.
(14:20):
I was four kilometers away from the main road.
So when I came out of the river,
I followed some animals out of the river.
And then there was like a opening
and there was a bunch of lavender flowers,
like they're lavender.
And then I went walking through them.
And then there was a deer that came like prancing around me,
like trying to play with me,
(14:41):
but he was like leading me somewhere.
So I followed him and then he led me to these lease roads.
And so I went walking down the lease roads.
And when I found the lease roads,
there was like these sites where you can like,
they go check on whatever.
I went over there and then I pushed a bunch of buttons
(15:02):
so I can alarm them to come check on their stuff,
so I think they can come there.
And cause I don't know what I was doing.
I was like kind of scared I might blow myself up
or whatever.
I did that and I went on walking down the road again
and I slept in and one of those,
it was a really old, old rig thing.
I don't know if it's a rig,
(15:23):
but it was old like shelter.
It looked like a shelter of some sort.
And then that's when I found cardboard
and I found wiring and I made shoes out of them.
And I went walking down more
and that's when I seen the truck coming from a distance.
And that was one of the maintenance guys coming
and he found me and he said,
(15:44):
when he first, he's like, I thought you were a deer.
And he couldn't really hear me
cause I had my broken jaw and I was like mumbling to him.
I was like, help me.
And he's probably like so scared.
But yeah, that's when he got me in the truck
and then called 911.
And I read in the article that you were returned
on your mother's birthday, right?
Yes, that's what she always cried about.
(16:06):
So that was the best gift that she had.
Like her only daughter coming home on that day.
Yeah, I can only imagine, man.
That's probably the best gift she's ever received.
Yeah.
How did your daughter react?
She was, her too, she had some spiritual stuff.
Cause she was like nine or eight years old.
(16:26):
And her grandma would tell me what she was doing.
She would make a bed for me right beside her.
And she was talking about me.
Like she could see me floating in a river.
And I was floating in the river.
Yeah.
So we have that connection too.
Yeah.
That's pretty dope, man.
That's pretty dope.
Did you ever sit down and talk to her about it?
(16:47):
Or just when you saw her,
you just wanted to leave it in the past
and never bring it up again.
We talked about it.
Yeah.
She talked about it.
Yeah.
How did you react when she told you
that she saw you in the river and that essentially,
she was kind of, go ahead.
Yeah, that she's connected.
We're connected and she has, yeah.
So do you think that you and her went through
(17:08):
a spiritual awakening at the same time,
or it was kind of destined for y'all
to go through that together?
Maybe, maybe she helped me.
Maybe she helped me some way, somehow.
Cause she kept making beds, like a bed beside her.
When she'd go to sleep, she would, yeah.
Kind of hearing that, man.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was your daughter
that was kind of one of the voices that you were hearing,
(17:30):
kind of guiding you through that situation.
Yeah, like to come home, yeah.
Yeah, that's a different type of synchronization.
That's pretty deep.
That is pretty deep.
Yeah.
It is.
So when you got home, what was the very first thing
you did after, well, probably went to the hospital,
but after you spoke to your mother and spoke to your daughter,
(17:52):
what was one of the first things that you wanted to do?
Get some food, drink some water.
Yeah.
They couldn't give me any food or water
because they had to do tests on me first
before they even touched me.
So I was still suffering in the hospital for a bit.
And then the news people came in there
and a lot of people came in there.
And I was like, ah.
But once they gave me that IV to not feel pain anymore,
(18:15):
I was just like laying there like, I don't know,
didn't talk, couldn't do nothing.
I just lay there.
Yeah.
And they took pictures.
Found some morphine.
Yeah, yeah, morphine, yeah.
That's what they gave me when they first,
cause I remember coming on the ambulance
and I was looking out that little window
and it was a nice, like nice sunny day
and I could see the grass and everything.
(18:37):
And once they gave me that morphine, I was like, ah.
I just felt like I needed to sleep and everything.
Yeah, hey.
Oh yeah.
So when you, how long did you stay in the hospital
for how long?
Cause I read that it took multiple surgeries
to correct your jaw.
Oh my God, how many times?
The first time that they did, they tried to fix my jaw.
It fell apart inside my jaw
(19:00):
and the screws were coming out of my skin,
like out of my chin.
I have a scar there right now.
There was that hole on the side.
There was a hole leakage there for a whole year.
It took a while for it to heal.
I almost lost my jaw cause how badly infected it was.
And I'm still going through,
I'm still going through stuff with my jaw.
(19:20):
I might have to get a joint replacement
because the jaw is like, it's not good.
Why do you think that this happened?
I know a lot of times when we go through things
and it's terrible things,
the first thing that comes to mind is why is this happening
to me?
Did you ever ask yourself that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I went through it for something.
I know I was supposed to help and help a lot of people
(19:43):
when like, during like after.
That's all I know is I'm,
I know I'm going to be helping a lot of people.
Do you think that you are doing that now
or do you think that the best has yet to come
as far as you being on?
The best has yet to come.
I like that.
I wasn't able to talk before
because I was stuck in a contract.
(20:05):
This girl literally got me on my vulnerable times
and then I was stuck in it for a while.
And I finally got out of it because she didn't commit,
she didn't commit to her, didn't commit to it.
And then the year was up as of January.
So that thing is, that contract is void.
This year, January.
And that was a producer, right?
Trying to make a movie out of everything, right?
(20:26):
Yeah, but she didn't have,
she doesn't have no knowledge of anything.
So she pretty much sat on my story
and did do nothing about it and wasting my time.
Yeah, that's crazy.
But I mean, I think it worked out in your favor though.
Yeah.
It worked out in your favor.
Yeah, it did actually because through that whole time,
I actually went through some healing phases within myself.
(20:47):
I had to do, I had to go through stuff like
to heal that part of me.
So I'm able to talk about it better than be triggered
because yeah, it's a lot easier now than before.
So I know in the hospital,
they treated the physical symptoms,
but what about the emotional and the mental?
Did you ever see mental health
or was that something that you just did on your own?
(21:10):
Because I know a lot of people
don't really believe in mental health
and they don't believe in talking to therapists.
I talked to therapists.
There is, it's like spiritually, mentally and physically.
When they did work after like just probably two years ago,
when they actually did,
cause I have a big scar on my jaw.
When they try to pop the scarring out,
there was a lot of built up trauma emotionally in that.
(21:33):
I could not stop crying.
Like I cried so much and I couldn't control it.
So I know there's like built up trauma that there was there,
even though it's like, oh, it's gone.
It's like, it was still there.
Okay.
So this happened when you were 25.
I know you're not supposed to ask a lady her age,
but I don't think you are an old geezer.
(21:55):
How old are you now?
I'm 36.
Okay. So this was 16 years ago, right?
Around there.
Is it fall 11?
No, 2013, cause it happened in 2013.
13 is 25 now.
I don't want to sound slow as hell on this camera doing math.
Let me pull out my phone.
That's 12 years, isn't it?
12 years?
(22:16):
That's 13 years.
Let me see, 2000.
Both of us might sound slow.
Damn, hold on, 2026.
Damn, both embarrassing us.
2025 minus 2013, 12 years.
Yeah, 12 years.
Oh man.
I said damn 16, didn't I?
My slow ass.
(22:37):
I graduated a little while back, man.
But hey, I'm still an intelligent guy.
I just had a moment.
I had a moment.
So when you got your jaw fixed
and you went back home after the hospital,
were you still able to get back to, I guess,
somewhat of a normal life?
Were you able to eat what you wanted to eat,
(22:58):
drink what you wanted to drink?
Not at all.
I had my jaw wired shut.
I had to literally eat through a straw
from the broken teeth.
So would you say that getting home was more difficult
than being in the forest or was it equally as difficult?
How would you describe that?
(23:18):
I would say more relieved that I'm actually safe at home.
And eating, I was like, it was okay.
And I never knew about opiates, like pain meds,
until I actually got my jaw broken.
So they had me on all these medications
and I was like always on them.
Yeah, yeah, drowsy.
Drowsy, sleepy, yeah.
(23:40):
Trust me, I knew about that.
In the military, the VA,
one thing they're very good at is giving you drugs.
No matter if you got a broken bone
or broken heart, here's some drugs.
I see that you are in a better position than back then
because you're talking to someone, your daughter.
(24:01):
You're back home, you know what I'm saying?
I think that being back home is better
than definitely where you were before.
Do you still go back there?
Have you been back there since
or you just evade that part altogether?
I actually go over there and then the last time
I went over there, I gave an offering and then I hugged.
I hugged the tree and I released some stuff there.
(24:23):
I guess it's not, yeah, it's not, doesn't.
I tried to go back, way back there
but Mico's can't go way back there.
And I also slept in a swamp for two days.
A swamp, listen man, I trained in the swamp
and from that experience, I hated it.
I got eight and not more.
Yeah, mosquitoes, right?
Yeah, but I put all the swamp stuff on me
(24:45):
to cover me like a blanket.
Yeah.
I hear other animals coming around
so I tried to blend it and stuff and just get some rest.
Damn, that's a lot.
But I mean, definitely your survival instincts kicked in
but I can only imagine sleeping in a swamp, man.
I hated training in a swamp.
They made us crawl through all that swamp water
(25:06):
and the smell and the mosquitoes and the frogs
and the snakes, wet and hot.
Yeah, I hated it.
Yeah, yeah, you definitely did that, man.
You don't hear things like this often
and especially from a woman.
I gotta give it to you.
Your strength is to go through all of that
(25:26):
and still be standing and still be in your right mind
and to adapt the way that you did.
I knew a lot of grown men would have folded
on the first day.
Yeah.
So I know that it speaks of your character.
It speaks of your strength.
I'm not scared of you.
I'm scared of you.
You're a strong woman.
And I had my wife read the story as well
(25:46):
and she was blown away at your strength.
She was just like, you know, that's a strong woman.
And then me and her kind of spoke on the strength of a woman
and how men like to undermine women
and think that women are weak and things like this.
And she was like, this woman here,
she is a testament to the strength of a woman.
And I ain't gonna lie, man.
(26:06):
It kind of had me looking at my wife different.
Like I really do need this woman.
So I mean, having a strong woman at your side is essential.
And as much as I hate to admit it,
my wife taught me that she did.
Yeah.
And I think that whoever your husband is,
he will be a lucky man to have such a strong woman
(26:28):
at his side.
And I think that your daughter is a lucky girl
to have such a strong mother.
It's an honor to be able to speak to you
and hear your testimony.
And I appreciate you for trusting me to come
onto my platform and tell your testimony.
What led you to want to share this with me?
I know you said that you haven't really spoke about it.
(26:50):
What made you want to share it with me?
Cause I have to bring it out somehow.
I can't keep being quiet about it.
I need to bring it out.
I need to share.
That's how I felt when I went through
what I went through with that girl.
I know you say you saw my witchcraft testimony.
That's how I felt.
That's what drew me to you.
Cause I had some similar things happen to me
(27:12):
and I was like, oh, he knows.
That's why the reason why I want to follow you.
Cause yeah, there's some stuff that I've been through too.
Spiritually, I had to protect myself.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. I have my Bible open too all the time.
I always pray every day.
Yeah.
It truly has been an honor.
(27:32):
Thank you.
If you had to give advice to the people listening right now,
male or female, from your experience,
what would you say to them?
What would I say to them?
Trust your intuition when it comes to relationships,
either side, cause women can be pretty dangerous too.
Hell yeah.
(27:54):
Yeah.
So trust your intuition.
I like it.
I like it.
We live and we learn, right?
We live and we learn.
But I appreciate your time.
And I look forward to hearing from you in the future.
And if, well, when the movie kicks off, holler at me.
I would love to be a police officer in the movie
or anything like that.
All right.
And take care, be good and enjoy your Saturday.
(28:16):
It's my favorite day of the week.
Yeah.
Enjoy yours as well.
All right then, take care.
Thank you again.
What a testimony.
If I had to learn anything from that dog,
is that you don't know what you're capable of
until you're put in a situation.
So don't ever doubt yourself or count yourself out.
