Jeremy French's journey from addiction to creating a transformative recovery program is nothing short of inspiring. In this episode, Heather Ross chats with Jeremy, the founder of Making Whole, an organisation that offers long-term support for men in early recovery. Unlike traditional programs that focus on short-term solutions, Making Whole emphasises mentorship, meaningful work, and personal growth to help individuals rebuild their lives.
Jeremy's story is deeply personal, as he shares the loss of two close friends to addiction and how it motivated him to create a space where people can genuinely get better. He discusses the importance of creativity, problem-solving, and navigating uncertainty as crucial elements in sustainable recovery. The program operates through a furniture studio where apprentices learn the craft while also developing life skills and emotional resilience.
One of the unique aspects of Making Whole is the daily communal meals, which foster a sense of community and belonging. Jeremy's passion for helping others is evident as he talks about the profound impact this environment has on those who participate. If you're looking for a fresh perspective on recovery and want to hear about a program that's making a real difference, this episode is a must-listen.
