CCAR Emergency Department Recovery Coach, Mindy Richardson, joins our hosts on this episode. She shares about early run-in's with the law and becoming a mother at a young age. Mindy goes on to explain how the need to earn and support herself drew her to the fast-money street lifestyle, which ultimately came to overtake her life and led to addiction. Despite many attempts to maintain recovery and a prolonged struggle with DCF, Mindy shares how she found recovery and got her family back. A beautiful picture of the power of persistence, hope, and the redemptive power of recovery!
