A single choice can change a life — but so can the choices that follow.

Beth Abbott returns to Unarmored Talk to share the truth behind a DUI that injured two teens, cost her a frocked promotion, and forced a painful reckoning with addiction, leadership, and identity.

From volunteering to begin her jail sentence immediately, to finding purpose behind bars, to rebuilding through sobriety and accountability, this episode explores public failure, forgiveness, and the long road to redemption.

If you’re interested in resilience, recovery, and what it really means to lead after a very public mistake, this conversation delivers hard-earned insight and real hope.

Listen. Share it. And if it moves you, subscribe so more people can find these unarmored truths.
