I'm not here to compare with them what your pain and my pain and how we decided to navigate that. And I think that's a whole other conversation, which I totally enjoy sitting with them.
Imagine finding your life's purpose within the walls of a jail. That's the story of Theresa Perdue, who meets with nearly 100 inmates each week to plant the seed that recovery is possible. In this episode of Odyssey House Journals, hosted by Randall Carlisle and Nicole Slack, Theresa shares her journey of helping inmates understand that while jail is tough, treatment can offer a way out.
She talks about the unique challenges and triumphs she faces in this line of work and answers the burning question inmates often ask her: Has she been addicted herself? Theresa's candid and compassionate insights provide a fresh perspective on the power of recovery and the importance of hope. This episode is a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction or interested in the transformative power of support and understanding.
