What happens when a mother doesn’t know if her daughter is dead or alive? In this raw and deeply moving episode of Resilient Butterfly, host Pam Feinberg-Rivkin sits down with Nikki Tartell and her mother, Sharon Dietrich, to share an unfiltered story of addiction, survival, and second chances. Nikki’s journey from excelling in school to battling a decade-long heroin addiction—while unknowingly pregnant—led to a desperate plea from her mother to Dr. Phil. What followed was a life-changing intervention, a fight for recovery, and a powerful transformation that brought Nikki from the streets to the courtroom—not as a defendant, but as a social worker helping other struggling parents reclaim their lives.
Through heartbreaking confessions and incredible resilience, Nikki and Sharon reveal the hidden struggles of addiction, the stigma families face, and the unwavering power of love and hope. Whether you or someone you love has faced addiction, this episode is a testament that no matter how deep the darkness, recovery is possible. Don’t miss this inspiring conversation about healing, redemption, and the strength it takes to rewrite your story.
