From Loss to Legacy: Sarah Kennedy's Mission Against Addiction Stigma

It makes me feel like he'll always be alive and with me and the more people that I can tell the story to.
What happens when grief turns into a mission for change? In this episode of 'Transition Points', Brandon sits down with Sarah Kennedy, the heart and soul behind Siblings Ending Addiction Stigma (SEAS). After the devastating loss of her brother Robby to substance use disorder, Sarah channeled her sorrow into something powerful—support and education for others walking the same painful path.
She talks candidly about the heartbreak of losing Robby and how she found a sense of purpose with SEAS, a group dedicated to helping those who have lost siblings to addiction. Sarah’s story is a touching blend of personal memories and a broader call to action. She emphasizes the need for community support and the importance of breaking down the stigma surrounding addiction. Her journey with SEAS isn't just about coping; it's about transforming pain into positive outreach and education.
If you're looking for a heartfelt discussion that balances sorrow with hope, this episode offers a poignant reminder that even in our darkest moments, we can find a way to make a difference.
