Catherine and Kim's first interview of season 2 is a special one. Martin Lockett is an incredibly inspiring individual. He is a speaker, counselor and writer. Martin shares his story of triumph, recovery and healing. Tune in to hear the remarkable account of his life growing up in Portland, Oregon and the events that led to that fateful day so many years ago that changed his life forever.

Martin Lockett is a substance abuse counselor, author, public speaker, and advocate for reducing DUI fatalities. He spent 17.5 years in prison for a DUI fatality that claimed two lives and severely injured another. In an impassioned vow to his victims’ families and friends at his sentencing, Lockett devoted the rest of his life to honoring his victims’ legacies by helping others who struggle with substance abuse. While incarcerated, Martin earned a BS in sociology, MS in psychology, and served as a mentor and role model to other inmates. He acquired state certification as a substance abuse counselor, published two books (Prison to Purpose Pipeline and My Prison Life), and began telling his story at DUI victim impact panels all within the prison setting. Now released, Lockett continues his mission and message by helping those in need of counseling for mental health and substance use disorders and sharing his powerful story across the country.
