In this deeply personal and powerful episode, Nika joins Touch Upon a Time to share the story behind her five years clean from meth and heroin and the moment a single verse from the Bible changed her life forever.
Born into generations of addiction and pain, Nika’s life was marked by chaos, trauma, and survival. But when she decided she no longer wanted to live as the victim of her story, everything began to shift. Through faith, self-forgiveness, and relentless inner work, she broke the cycle that had haunted her family for decades.
This isn’t just a story about addiction, it’s about rebirth, redemption, and reclaiming your power when the world counted you out.
Nika’s honesty and courage remind us that healing doesn’t erase the past, it transforms it.
“It ran in the family, until it ran into me.”
🎧 Tune in and witness what grace looks like when it finds its way through the fire.
