Through Brittany's candid account, the narrative exposes the profound consequences of addiction, highlighting the devastating impact on families. This episode offers a unique perspective, focusing on the aftermath of a fatal overdose and the challenges faced by a grieving mother. Brittany's strength and vulnerability provide a poignant reminder of the human toll of substance abuse, emphasizing the need for compassion and support in the face of such tragedies.
In this episode if The Rollercoaster Podcast Tyler and Brittany discover sense of belonging and support with the mantra 'Find your tribe, think about the people in your life who care about you.' In the intricate tapestry of existence, this wisdom serves as a guiding light, urging you to seek connections that resonate with your authentic self. Picture a community that uplifts, understands, and values you-a tribe where mutual care and genuine concern intertwine. Embrace the power of shared bonds, for in the company of those who genuinely care, you find not only solace but the strength to navigate life's journey. As you embark on this quest for your tribe, envision the faces of those who have stood by you through thick and thin, recognizing the profound impact of nurturing relationships. Together, let's embark on a journey of connection and understanding, weaving a tapestry of meaningful relationships that enrich the fabric of your life.
Embracing the idea that it's acceptable to ask for help, regardless of the scale of the issue, is essential for personal growth and avoiding negative consequences. It signifies strength rather than weakness and encourages a collaborative spirit. By overcoming pride and seeking assistance when needed, individuals foster a supportive environment where knowledge is shared, and challenges are collectively addressed. Recognizing the universality of facing difficulties, this approach empowers both individuals and the community to navigate obstacles effectively, promoting overall well-being.
Don't wait to love yourself and prioritize your well-being. Instead of waiting for a challenging event to prompt self-care, start embracing it right now. Your journey toward self-love and self-care doesn't need a catalyst of adversity. Begin by recognizing your worth, nurturing your mind and body, and fostering a positive relationship with yourself. Waiting for a crisis to prioritize your well-being is like postponing the care of a precious garden until it's overrun with weeds. Seize the opportunity to cultivate self-love today, sowing the seeds for a healthier, happier future.

Tyler, came across your channel via Kelly Bills because I am a 32 year old widower with 3 babies. My wife died of cancer 3 months ago.
Thank you so much for these conversations, young widow(er)s are rare and there is not much content out there. You are doing a great service to a tiny minority of us without a public voice.
As a fellow widower, I was 28, in July 2020, my husband died while I was giving him CPR from a blood clot in his lungs, we had four kids, aged 9, 3 and a half, a 1 year old who turned 2, 13 days later, I turned 28 actually 14 days after my husband died, and our youngest was only 3 and a half months old. (mine and my daughters birthdays are right next to each other. I totally understand your pain and grief. Now that it’s four years later I can tell you from experience that it does get easier. It gets easier because you learn to live with the pain and the pain subsides as time passes. 😢 I know how hard it is, I know how you feel and how you can’t explain how you feel at times. If you need to talk I’m here for you.

The people in the background need to be quiet. Literally so disrespectful. This poor women is pouring her heart out and there’s laughing going on in the back ground.

Postmortem workers are literal angels on earth. I’m so happy they facilitated the best goodbye you could’ve had given the horrible situation and tried to make it less jarring. When I was 15 my mom passed and when they came and got her, they had her on the gurney and were literally wheeling her out already and it was like 2 am at this point, I know they were probably tired. But I asked them to stop in the foyer and they did so without any questions and let my sisters dad go get her out of bed so she could say goodbye to mom. We had tried to tell her earlier but she was so sleepy she wasn’t even lucid, so I wanted her to be able to kiss her goodbye and know what happened. My biggest fear in that moment was my 6 yo sister waking up and mommy’s just.. Gone and she didn’t get to say goodbye
I lived with and loved a fully functional alcoholic for twelve years. We had two beautiful kids together. He was the father figure for my daughter. He absolutely broke me. I tried for years to help him and he blamed me for his addiction. I was the reason he drank every day and every night. He would take my last $1 to help his addiction while the kids and I couldn’t even buy milk. I left him 5 years ago. I’m still in love with the person he was but not the person he is today.
I’m now in a relationship with the most wonderful man. He’s never blamed me for anything or raised his voice at me.
At the start I felt like u had to cause drama because that’s what I was use too. Now I’m so happy and so in love. My kids all get along with him. My boys still see their dad.
what a strong woman wow my heart goes out to her. I cant imagine how hard it was for her to share but so powerful.❤️🙏
This is a powerful podcast!! Very moving. But might I suggest some positive feedback. You gotta do something with the people in the background. I’m assuming it’s a mic issue picking up the chatter and you didn’t notice it during recording, but is there a way to clean that up I’m post production? It’s tough hearing Brittany pour her heart out when people are in the next room giggling and chatting. Even with that I was still feeling the emotions of the pod. Great stuff!
Appreciate the feedback. Actions will be taken from the next video.
Such a beautiful woman with a beautiful heart and incredible wisdom! So very sad that you and your babies had to suffer such a trauma! This podcast really hits home with me as I am married to a wonderful man who supported me through my addiction. When we were married in 2003 I had around 20 years clean. He had lost his first wife to terminal brain cancer and was left with four young children. About 12 years into our marriage I relapsed on opiates due to chronic pain and surgeries. The fentanyl crisis was just hitting around the same time…… thank God I made it off of the street drugs! The outcome could have been very different and I definitely put my family through the ringer which I still regret to this day but I thank God for his grace and the opportunity to love like I wasn’t capable of during that time!! So my husband and I really relate to your story and I just pray that God will heal your heart and continue to bless you and keep you ~you and your family!! Thank you for sharing your story it has made a huge impact on me as I’m sure it has for countless others !!
🙏🏽🤍🙏🏽
