Ivy Sardi: Arrested by the Raptor Squad
Manage episode 445191347 series 3603444
Ivy Sardi was still out on bail when we recorded this episode. A former drug dealer, Ivy was awaiting sentencing for commercial drug supply.
In our conversation, Ivy shares how he never touched drugs until his mid-twenties. From then, it was a rapid decline, leading to suicidal ideations, jail time, run-ins with the Raptor Squad, and waking up in hospital not knowing if he had killed someone.
I'm incredibly grateful to Ivy for being so authentic in his storytelling, particularly regarding his mental health struggles.
I hope you love this chat with Ivy Sardi x
Trigger warning: suicide and heavy substance abuse.
