October is Substance Abuse Awareness Month and we have a great month of guests, stories, information, and resources for you!

Today we have a guest, Matt, who is here to tell us about his journey with substance abuse. Jen and Nicole and Matt go along his journey from start to finish. Learn how to encourage others who are going through the same journey and how to be a support!

We are so grateful to Matt for being open and vulnerable and being willing to share his story with us to understand this situation better and to help others.

Trigger Warning: Alcohol abuse, substance abuse.
