Life on Earth episode 19 Stephanie on breaking the cycle Life On Earth

I have to admit I didn't know what to title this episode. While the topic was "rehabilitation from substance abuse", that's such a wild understatement of what happened when we spoke to Stephanie. Stephanie shared her own story of substance abuse, and recovery...  but the incredible benevolence in this women's story and life work, go well beyond personal rehabilitation. Stephanie has now devoted her career to helping people break through the stigma's and barriers to better their lives as they emerge from the grips of addiction. No matter where you come out on the issue of substance abuse and WHAT the barriers to rehabilitation are, Stephanie's message and work will move you to believe their is hope for those who struggle to regain their independence as they get clean and re enter the work force. Stephanie's candor and vulnerability are magnetic and before we even finished recording this episode, Adam and I were already texting each other that there need to be a part 2-3-4-etc.... to this episode. I can't thank Stephanie enough for her willingness to speak with us.
