Don't Give Up, Give Back

Imagine seeing the youth in your community struggle with the same issues you once faced. That’s exactly what Brenda, affectionately known as Mama Naps, saw, and she decided to take action. In this episode of Recovery Internet Radio, hosts Rick Atwater and Rob Ryberg sit down with Brenda to discuss her incredible transformation from battling substance abuse to becoming a pillar of support for teens in her community.

Brenda noticed a gap in positive activities for kids, particularly those who weren't engaged in school programs. This realization led her to start 'The Break', a community center where teens can gather, socialize, and engage in uplifting activities. Brenda's story is a powerful reminder of how one person's determination can create ripples of change. She emphasizes that substance abuse doesn’t just affect the individual; it impacts families and communities as well.

Through her efforts, The Break has become a safe haven for teens, supported by volunteers and donors who believe in her mission. Brenda's journey highlights the importance of providing positive outlets for youth and the transformative power of community support. Tune in to hear how one woman's vision is making a lasting difference.
