My First Breath - BONUS in Collaboration with UH MEDIA

Today, on the CO-XST podcast, host Kiya Naka joins Karen Shayne from Unconditionally Her Media to share the powerful story of the film "My First Breath: The Story of Carl Gibson." Carl's journey began at age 7 when he experimented with inhaling gas on his family's property in Dahlonega, Georgia, leading to a perilous path of substance abuse as a means to cope with anxiety, depression, and familial abuse.

In this podcast, Carl, along with his son Nick, reveals previously undisclosed aspects of their lives and the pivotal moments that shaped their relationship. Like the film, this podcast showcases their resilience, determination, and triumph over addiction, serving as an inspiring example to those facing life's struggles. Get ready for an emotional journey that will touch your heart.
