March 29, 2026. 13 years sober today. Another year of choosing myself, my freedom, my peace, my health, my happiness.

Because I have lived the alternative. I know where that road leads. Into darkness. Into pain. Into suffering. I have walked that road into hell and burned in its flames and returned to show the world it’s possible to come back from addiction and incarceration.

I am so fucking grateful for my amazing life and the beautiful humans I share it with. Never give up. Keep going baby. by @vikchopra

Most people never see what happens inside a prison. Concrete Mama exists to change that.

We're honored to be a two-time finalist in the 5th Annual Signal Awards, and now we're asking for your help to win the Listener's Choice Award. This award is about more than a trophy. Every vote helps bring the stories of incarcerated people to a wider audience and helps build understanding of life behind the walls.

Here's where you can vote:
🗳️ "It's Okay Not to Be Okay" (Mental Health)
🗳️ Season 2 (Indie Podcast)

Voting closes October 15th. It only takes a minute, and sharing this post helps just as much. 💛
Thank you for listening, and for believing these voices deserve to be heard.
