To me, that's so much more powerful than everything she could have ever accomplished on a sports field or anything that she could do.
In this heart-wrenching episode of 'Lakin Chronicles: Road To Recovery', Dr. Greg Lakin sits down with Brooklyn and her mother, Barb, to uncover the raw and real journey of battling prescription drug addiction.

Their story is one of pain, loss, and ultimately, hope. The episode shines a light on the importance of family support and professional treatment in the recovery process. Brooklyn and Barb openly discuss their experiences, offering a candid look at the emotional toll addiction takes on both the individual and their loved ones.
Brooklyn shares how her mother's eventual understanding and support were crucial in her journey towards recovery. One of the most poignant moments in the episode is when Brooklyn reflects on the power of sharing personal stories to help others, stating, 'To me, that's so much more powerful than everything she could have ever accomplished on a sports field or anything that she could do'. Dr.
Lakin's empathetic approach creates a safe space for Brooklyn and Barb to share their story, providing listeners with valuable insights into the complexities of addiction and recovery. This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with addiction or supporting a loved one through their recovery journey.
