Take accountability for what part you have and see people as humans. We all make mistakes. There's aggressive humans, there's aggressive cops. It doesn't matter.
What happens when a former addict and a police sergeant, once on opposite sides of the law, come together for a common cause? In this episode of the Addict II Athlete Podcast, Therapist Coach Blu sits down with Janelle Wilkinson and Orem City Police Sergeant Karalee Johnson. Janelle, who spent years in and out of jail and rehab, recently celebrated four years of sobriety.
Joining her is Karalee, who used to be her nemesis but is now her friend and ally. Together, they share their journey from playing 'cops and robbers' to collaborating on community service projects like Addicts Fighting Back and Addict II Athlete's Project Elf charity. This heartwarming episode showcases how understanding, accountability, and commitment can bridge even the widest gaps, turning adversaries into partners in the fight against addiction.
