One of the realities many of us must deal with in early recovery is our immaturity. That's no reason to feel ashamed, foolish or less than invariably, we find that we can quickly acquire both the skills and the experience and can soon function in the world without limitation.
In this episode of 'Recovery Coast to Coast', Neil Scott sits down with Penny Legate, a former Seattle television anchor, who opens up about the heart-wrenching loss of her 19-year-old daughter to a drug overdose. Penny’s story is one of deep sorrow but also of immense strength and hope. She shares the painful realities of parenting a child struggling with addiction, offering an unfiltered look at the impact it had on her family.
From the availability of drugs in small towns to the crucial role of communication within families, Penny's insights are both eye-opening and deeply personal. Penny also introduces listeners to The Mirra Project, a heartfelt initiative she started in memory of her daughter. The project aims to support children without parents by teaching them essential life skills. Through her work, Penny not only honors her daughter's memory but also provides a beacon of hope for other families facing similar struggles.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone affected by addiction, whether directly or indirectly. Penny’s candidness and resilience offer comfort and inspiration, reminding us all of the power of love and community in the face of tragedy.
