We can all be advocates

Judge Jodi - 100PedalsToday’s guest is a very special advocate for our children and loved ones. Judge Jodi Debbrecht Switalski, is a district court judge in Michigan.  More importantly, she is clearly leading the way to help change the way addiction is treated in the courts, in our criminal justice system, and in society.  She is a voice of education, awareness, and change.

As parents dealing with this adversity in our family, we can all be grateful for the presence of those who think forwardly and proactively.  More importantly, we cannot stand by and have others fight our battles on our behalf.  We must join in the fight for increased awareness, for improved education, and for the change that helps our children and loved ones in their battles with addiction.

Please listen to this podcast and learn more about the resources and programs that can help us in our battle.  Nothing changes until we stand tall and fight for change.  I promise, you will fight hope and courage in this conversation! Peace!
