In this powerful and deeply emotional episode, Koa shares his untold story of childhood grooming, sexual abuse, addiction, crime, and ultimately redemption.

As a young child, Koa was groomed and abused by two teenage boys—an experience that shaped how he understood relationships growing up. Believing this behaviour was “normal,” he carried that confusion into his teenage years while battling inner pain and trauma.

Koa began drinking alcohol at a shockingly young age—even walking to school with beer. What started as alcohol use quickly escalated into drug experimentation, and by his late teens, he made a life-changing decision: to fully immerse himself in the world of drugs.

To sustain his addiction, Koa turned to crime—robbing drug dealers and becoming caught in a dangerous cycle of violence, prison, and survival.

In this raw conversation, Koa opens up about:

- Childhood trauma and its long-term impact

- Addiction and early exposure to alcohol and drugs

- Crime, violence, and time in prison

- The cycle of getting clean and relapsing

- His journey toward recovery and helping others overcome addiction

This is a story of pain—but also resilience, growth, and hope.
