I love it. Again, you guys, thanks for cutting out some time with us. Janelle, you're all right. Janelle, you said it perfectly. And I think that that's kind of a thing that, listeners, you should all be able to do at this point in life is to see what makes us more connected than that, which divides us, wouldn't you say?
Imagine turning your worst enemy into your greatest ally. That's the remarkable story you'll hear in this episode of the Addict II Athlete podcast. Host Blu Robinson sits down with Janelle Wilkinson, who spent years battling addiction and cycling through the criminal justice system, and Karalee Johnson, the Orem City Police Sergeant who once arrested her. Now, they work together to give back to their community through initiatives like Addicts Fighting Back and Addict II Athlete's Project Elf charity.
Their conversation is raw, honest, and filled with insights about the power of understanding and accountability in bridging divides. Whether you're struggling with addiction, supporting someone who is, or just interested in stories of redemption and resilience, this episode offers a compelling look at how people can change and come together for the greater good.
