Hey babe. Welcome back to Big Girl Thoughts. For episode 02, I sat down with my friend Leah. She is a mighty prayer warrior, she serves at City Reach Church, and she has one of the biggest laughs you will ever hear. Don't let her tiny frame fool you. By 12 she had lost her innocence. By 14 she was on ecstasy every weekend. By her twenties she was on Vicodin, then meth, then homeless for two years. And then a door opened in a crack house in Oregon, and the man who answered it is now her husband. This one goes deep. If you have ever felt like you've gone too far, this episode is for you. Leah came on to tell the truth. WHAT WE GET INTO 0:00 Hi, hi, hi. Meet Leah. 3:45 A family that loved Jesus, then asked to leave. 11:29 Twelve, looking for love. 27:25 When Vicodin came on the scene. 30:42 The conjoined twins. 35:43 The door Shane opened. 48:39 Sober in 2011. 55:14 "Are you done?" 58:04 Rapid fire with Leah. ABOUT LEAH:Leah is a mighty prayer warrior on staff at City Reach Church. Wife to Shane (the man who answered the door), mom to two boys, Braxton and Kingston. Sober since 2011 and not counting strikes.

At 17, two weeks before high school graduation, Treasa lost the woman who raised her and became the guardian of six siblings overnight. Today she leads ministry.
This is the first episode of Big Girl Thoughts, and Mama T pulls back the curtain on everything in between. In this episode, Ashleigh sits down with her best friend Treasa, AKA Mama T, for a conversation about brokenness and what it takes to turn a mess into a message. If you have ever felt unworthy, or like your story is too much, this one is for you.
