Women Warriors: Tackling the Opioid Crisis with James Wahlberg

We were bamboozled into believing this was a wonder drug. Right, this pain medication was a wonder drug, and make no mistake about it. They said: oh, my god, all these people are on this stuff. Okay, people like that that were more concerned with making money than the lives of American people, children, and I bang on the table one.
James Wahlberg sits down with a group of inspiring women activists at an opioid youth summit in New Orleans. These women share their powerful stories and insights on how the opioid crisis has affected their families and communities. One poignant story comes from Celeste Walther, a mother who turned her grief into activism after losing her son to an opioid overdose.
The episode dives into the stigma surrounding addiction, the lethal threat of fentanyl, and the critical role of parents and community action in battling this epidemic. Wahlberg's conversation with these brave women is both eye-opening and heart-wrenching, shedding light on the urgent need for ongoing efforts to combat the opioid crisis. If you're looking for real stories of resilience and activism, this episode is a must-listen.
