The solution is almost always the same.
Kim Jorgensen-Richard's life has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows, with rock music as her constant companion. In this episode of 'The Courage to Change: A Recovery Podcast', Kim opens up about growing up in an alcoholic home and how intergenerational trauma led her to some of her darkest moments.

Through candid storytelling, Kim emphasizes the importance of speaking up and setting boundaries, particularly when labeled as someone who couldn't meet expectations.

Kim's story is a testament to resilience and the transformative power of facing one's demons head-on. Tune in to hear how she turned her life around and continues to find peace and joy through music and therapy.
