Lilly Brightnose from Saskatoon, SK. started her life on the trap line in northern Manitoba.

After the death of her grandfather, her family spiraled into addiction and chaos, and Lilly suffered great abuse from both her mother and her father.

After finding recovery, she found out her daughters suffered those same abuses at the hands of her father. And their healing began.
This family journey is incredible, with many powerful insights. Lilly joined me because she was ready to tell her story as part of her healing, and when you listen to this powerful testimony, you will agree, it was time.

What an honor.

Nicole grew up wanting for nothing.

As a result, she did not develop coping skills for life and turned to pills to face life's challenges. Despite her success in life, she found herself hopelessly addicted to IV opioids and trapped in an extremely violent relationship.

In the end, her kidneys shut down while she detoxed in prison, ankle cuffed to a bed. Today she is 8 years in recovery and has dedicated her life to carrying a message and helping people who are lost like she was.

You might know her as NicoleVictorious on TikTok.
