This one is for the teens

Fake pills. Peer pressure. Online dealers. One bad choice can change everything.

In this episode of Logan’s Voice, Doug—Logan’s dad—speaks directly to high school students about the real dangers hiding in today’s drug supply. You’ll learn how fentanyl is showing up in fake Xanax, Percs, and Adderall, why online predators are targeting teens, and how to find a safe adult to talk to when things get hard.

No shame. No judgment. Just truth, survival, and hope.

Because your life matters. And you are not alone.

You don’t have to wait for perfect. You just have to start.

Even years into my grief journey, unexpected moments can still knock the wind out of me.

Some days, I’m fine. Other days, a sound, a smell, or a memory comes out of nowhere and drops me to my knees. In this episode, I talk honestly about why I still get triggered, what those moments feel like, and how I’ve learned to cope when the grief sneaks back in.

If you’re walking this road too—missing someone, trying to keep going—you’re not alone. I see you. And I hope this helps you feel a little more understood.
