    Breaking Free: The Story of Hope and Recovery

    The fifth episode of Mental Massage beautifully captures the recovery journeys of Mary Lambert, Grammy-nominated artist, and Lindsey Arrington, founder of Hope Soldiers. Their stories serve as a narrative of hope for anyone who are using substances or know people who are using substances. This episode's contents range from the costs of substances (tangible and intangible) to things to consider when helping someone. Emotionally charged from beginning to end, listeners will be taken along the emotional rollercoaster led by the two speakers sharing their journey.
