I have such compassion for inmates and those in the system- quote-unquote, because I've had a lot of experience with handling loved ones that are on the other side of that, and gosh the compassion and empathy that you can gain from that. They're still humans and they deserve compassion and fairness.
Ever wondered what it takes to turn personal struggles into a beacon of hope for others? Meet Hassey Parsons, co-owner of Asheville Detox Center and Asheville Recovery Center, who shares her powerful journey on this episode of the Illuminate Recovery Podcast. Hassey’s story is one of deep empathy and unwavering compassion, shaped by her own battles with addiction and her experiences supporting loved ones who were incarcerated.
Her unique perspective drives her mission to bring fairness and kindness to those navigating the rough waters of recovery. In this heartfelt conversation, Hassey delves into the significance of 'wake up calls' in the journey to sobriety and how these pivotal moments can inspire lasting change. She also reflects on the role of spirituality in recovery, offering insights into how connecting with a higher power can provide strength and guidance.
But that's not all—Hassey takes us into the world of mushroom foraging, exploring its surprising benefits for mental health and well-being. Listeners will find inspiration in the Ryan Boyle Memorial Hallway at Asheville Recovery Center, a tribute to those lost to drugs, alcohol, suicide, or mental health issues. This episode is a testament to Hassey's commitment to making a difference, one compassionate step at a time.
Whether you're on your own recovery journey, supporting someone who is, or simply seeking understanding, Hassey's story offers a blend of hope, practical advice, and heartfelt empathy.
