#182 Parenting Wisdom From an Ex-Addict


Listen Later

A BIG fear for moms is that our kids will hang out with the wrong people and get addicted to nicotine, alcohol or drugs. Our guest today, Jackie Polk was the perfect teen in High School and yet started hanging out with the wrong people and tried drugs. She quickly became addicted. Jackie can help you protect your teens with very practical advice from her experience as an ex-addict.

Jackie Polk is an addiction awareness and recovery influencer who is five years sober from drugs and alcohol. During her addiction, Jackie experienced overdose, domestic violence, homelessness, lost custody of her sons, and more.

Today, she has turned her life around, regained custody of her kids and uses her platform to inspire others and encourage open conversations about addiction and recovery. She shares her impactful story with over 110K followers across TikTok, Instagram, and other social media platforms. She currently lives in Oklahoma with her husband and twin boys.
