Judging Meghan

This episode is a revisited conversation, but its message remains as impactful as ever.

I’m joined by Angela Kennecke, an award-winning broadcast journalist and the founder of Emily’s Hope, a charity born from a heartbreaking personal tragedy. Angela’s unwavering dedication to honoring her daughter’s memory has transformed her grief into a mission to combat the opioid crisis and prevent senseless loss.

Together, we explore the devastating impact of addiction, the profound importance of compassion in times of grief, and the incredible resilience of the human spirit. Angela shares her journey of turning pain into purpose, shedding light on the urgent need for prevention and support for those impacted by addiction.

This episode goes beyond Angela’s story to examine addiction as a societal issue, inspiring action and awareness. It’s a powerful testament to the enduring strength of love, hope, and the drive to create change in the face of unimaginable loss.
