Caddy Frink welcomes back recovery navigator Rachel from Minnesota Recovery Connection. They discuss advocacy, focusing on Rachel’s personal story of securing housing while in recovery, which highlighted gaps in community services. Rachel shares how self-advocacy—a key to her success—led her to investigate and expose these service issues. She emphasizes that everyone, regardless of their struggle, deserves support. The hosts then pivot to provide practical, low-barrier resources for listeners needing help with housing (including The Arc Minnesota and the Salvation Army), food, mental health, and crisis support (using the 988 and 211 hotlines), underscoring that asking for help is a sign of strength, not a a weakness.
