I'm a firm believer that it doesn't matter what mistakes you made in your past, everybody has the right to work and support their families. And this is really a working problem, right? So people want to get back into the workforce. They want to pay their bills. They want to go to school and get their licensures, but they can't because of this criminal record. People want to succeed, and this is the biggest barrier stopping them. It sounds so unfair. Yeah, it is so unfair.
Imagine trying to rebuild your life after addiction, only to be held back by a criminal record. In this heartfelt episode of Odyssey House Journals, Randall Carlisle and Kim Smart sit down with Destiny Garcia and Charlotte Waterbury, two incredible women who have faced this exact challenge. Both Destiny and Charlotte know firsthand the barriers that come with a criminal history—from finding a job to securing housing. But they didn't let these obstacles define them.
Instead, they turned their struggles into a mission to help others through Clean Slate Utah. This organization is dedicated to helping people expunge their records and start anew. Destiny and Charlotte share their personal stories of addiction, homelessness, and the relentless pursuit of a second chance. Their journey is a testament to resilience and the power of community support. Tune in to hear how these two women are making a real difference, one person at a time.
