Garrett Hart on Rock and Recovery: The Healing Power of Music
The purpose is to build awareness, remove stigma and to offer hope.
Music has a unique way of touching our souls, and Garrett Hart knows this better than most. As the Creative Content Director for Summit Radio Station and the host of Rock and Recovery, Garrett joins Greg on the Cover2 Resources podcast to discuss how music can be a lifeline for those in recovery. With a background that includes programming for Sirius and XM, Garrett brings a wealth of experience to the table.
But it was his volunteer work at Summit that sparked the creation of Rock and Recovery, a program designed to uplift and inspire through carefully selected songs and messages. Garrett explains how Rock and Recovery is more than just a playlist; it's a community effort to heal together. The music, paired with positive messages, aims to help individuals in recovery or dealing with trauma to reset their minds and focus on what truly matters in life.
It's about hitting that 'restart button' and finding value in everyday moments. The episode also tackles the broader issues surrounding addiction, such as the importance of removing stigma and the role of honesty in the recovery journey. Garrett highlights Judge Tom Teodosio's Turning Point program, which offers diversion rather than incarceration for those struggling with addiction, showcasing how alternative approaches can make a significant difference.
For anyone affected by addiction—whether personally or through a loved one—this episode provides not just hope but practical insights. Garrett’s passion for using music as a therapeutic tool shines through, offering a fresh perspective on how we can support each other in the fight against opioid addiction.
