In this episode, we are joined by Patty Bode, founder of the Remember Love Recovery Project, https://www.rememberloverecovery.org/ who shares her journey of turning personal tragedy into a force for societal change. After losing her youngest son to an accidental heroin overdose, Patty, an experienced educator and anti-racism activist, now dedicates herself to destigmatizing addiction disorder through art and education.
