Episode 61: Jodi’s Story — How Teen Addiction Escalated from Marijuana to Prescription Opioids

Episode 61 features a powerful and heartbreaking conversation with Jodi, a mother who shares how her son’s addiction escalated faster than anyone expected. What began as marijuana to “help anxiety” slowly intensified despite consequences and concern. Then came a broken collarbone, a hospital visit, and a prescription for Vicodin — a turning point that changed everything. What felt medically justified at the time became something far more dangerous. Jodi opens up about how accessible opioids were, how unaware families can be in the moment, and how quickly experimentation can evolve into dependence — especially for teenagers whose brains are still developing. This episode is an honest look at warning signs, prescription medications, teen substance use, and the reality many families don’t see until it’s too late. Episode 61 is now live.
