“Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” – Confucius
In this episode, Logan and Tyson sit down with Portia Louder for a raw and powerful conversation about the choices that shape us, the mistakes that break us, and the resilience it takes to rebuild.
Portia opens up about her battle with prescription drug addiction, her struggle to find identity, and the devastating consequences that led to prison and some of the hardest years of her life. But her story doesn’t end in pain—it’s about the lessons learned through accountability, the healing that comes with self-love, and the clarity born from self-awareness.
Now, Portia uses her past not as a weight but as a platform—to help others, to give hope, and to prove that even the deepest wounds can be transformed into purpose.
This episode is a reminder that you are not your worst mistake. With accountability, honesty, and the willingness to grow, you can rewrite your story and use it to lift others.
