2|Surviving the Unthinkable: A Mother's True Story of Betrayal, Abuse, Fentanyl Loss, Courage to Heal and Take Action - Part 2
This is PART 2, and if you haven't listened to PART 1 yet, you'll want to do that first.
In this deeply moving episode of Intrepid Storytelling, Deanna sits down with Leila Culberson, a courageous mother whose life was shattered by unthinkable betrayal and loss — discovering her husband had been sexually abusing their children, and later facing the heartbreaking death of her teenage daughter to fentanyl poisoning. Out of unimaginable pain, she chose a path of healing, advocacy, and empowerment. Today, she leads a nonprofit that helps survivors reclaim their voices and turn their pain into power.
This episode is a raw, emotional, and inspiring testament to resilience, bravery, and the unbreakable strength of a mother’s love. If you’ve ever wondered how light can emerge from the darkest places, this story will remind you of the power of purpose, hope, and courage to rise again.
