S4 Ep 1: Racism and Recovery with Jessica Hoppe

Recovery spaces are not immune from the “isms” people experience in other spaces. My first guest of Season 4, writer Jessica Hoppe, addressed this topic after she noticed people of color being shut down in meetings for talking about police brutality and the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor. The solution, she says, lies in connection and sharing stories *without restrictions* so everyone can bring their full, authentic selves into recovery. Hear her own inspiring story and learn why “the first step to recovery is admitting you are not powerless over your privilege.”
