Episode Description Before anything started to get better, things got really dark. In Part 1, Deane shares what it was like to go from building a life as an artist to losing control of his body after a serious car accident. The pain was constant. It was intense. And like many people, he was pushed toward opioids as the answer. That path only made things worse. This conversation goes beyond physical pain. Deane talks about growing up with abuse, carrying anger for years, and dealing with the kind of internal voice that tells you there is no way forward. When you lose your identity, your purpose, and your ability to function the way you used to, it messes with everything. G-Rex and Dirty Skittles don’t rush past that. They sit in it with him. Because this is the part most people skip. The part where you feel stuck, exhausted, and unsure if anything will actually help. But a shift is starting here. Not a big breakthrough yet. Just a moment of curiosity. A small opening. Part 1 is about telling the truth about what it feels like to be at your lowest. Because you cannot heal what you refuse to look at.
