Mariel S. Hufnagel: From Darkness to Advocacy
“My recovery has been very challenging The First Couple Of Years. And I say that because I also think that those are some of the things that have catapulted me to advocate so aggressively, because I believe truly that I am, you know, in recovery still to This Day through, like I often say, through grace and grit.”
What happens when someone turns their darkest moments into a beacon of hope for others? In this episode of 'Get in the Herd', host Nathan Mitchell sits down with Mariel S. Hufnagel, a true champion in the world of recovery. Mariel’s story is one of resilience and transformation.
