The more that we share our stories in other spaces outside of meetings...writing a letter to your legislator.
Ever wondered what unique challenges women face in their recovery journey? In this eye-opening episode of 'Recovery (Sort Of)', hosts Billy and Jason are joined by Caroline Beidler, MSW and author of 'Downstairs Church', to shed light on the often-overlooked struggles women encounter. Caroline dives into the pressing issues of limited housing options, inadequate access to treatment, and the lack of childcare support that many women in recovery face.
This conversation doesn't just stop at identifying problems; it offers practical solutions to help ease these burdens. Caroline shares her advocacy work experiences, emphasizing the importance of amplifying women's stories beyond traditional recovery meetings. From participating in recovery rallies to writing letters to legislators, she highlights how sharing personal stories can drive policy changes and increase support for women in recovery.
The episode also explores the necessity of creating separate spaces for women in recovery and having uncomfortable yet essential conversations to understand their unique challenges better. Practical solutions like providing childcare at meetings or funding childcare services are discussed as ways to support women more effectively. Tune in to this candid discussion and discover how we can all contribute to making the recovery journey smoother for women.
