Ep 65: Stephanie Sue's Story of Resilience and Recovery as a Kratom Industry Insider

In this powerful episode of the podcast, Stephanie Sue opens up about her remarkable journey with Kratom, which began during a challenging period marked by addiction. After an initial unsuccessful attempt with the plant in 2014, she rediscovered Kratom in 2016 during a pivotal time when the DEA was attempting to ban it. This discovery not only changed her life but ignited a passion for advocacy that led her to work within the Kratom industry for two different vendors, giving her unique insights into both the community and its challenges.

Through her experience working in the industry, Stephanie shares invaluable knowledge about proper Kratom consumption methods, including the science behind optimization techniques using warm water and citric acid. She candidly discusses navigating family skepticism, a common hurdle many Kratom users face due to widespread misinformation. Her story takes an interesting turn as she addresses using Kratom during pregnancy, a topic rarely discussed in the community. Stephanie's dedication to education and advocacy shines through as she emphasizes the importance of understanding what you're consuming, particularly warning about potent 7-OH products. Her compelling narrative demonstrates how personal struggles can transform into a mission to help others, making this episode a must-listen for anyone curious about Kratom's potential impact on their lives.
