In this edition of The Way Out, our intrepid recovery co-host Jason has an outstanding interview with Recovery advocate and ally Jaclyn Brown who is also a survivor of a loss of a family member due to addiction. Jaclyn is also the creator and host of the Dark and Enlightened Podcast, a podcast in which Jason was a recent guest so be sure to check that episode out post haste! Jaclyn shares about her life and the loss of her brother Mark to an overdose in 2018, an experience that made her aware that she needed to dig deep and work on herself. Her journey of self-discovery both enlightened and inspired her to learn as much as she could about the disease of addiction. Today Jaclyn is a harm reduction expert, Narcan trainer and volunteer, and all-around recovery advocate extraordinaire. Jaclyn’s story is just beginning, as she just quit her job in Corporate America in search of a true vocation in the recovery sphere, and Jason’s interview with this recovery powerhouse starts right now, so listen up.
