Not Your Average IV User Episode 34 - Rylee Jo

NYAIVU has largely hosted individuals in recovery and given them the platform to address stigmas, stereotypes, and preconceived notions about the nature of addiction, treatment, and recovery. Their stories have challenged societal norms and we've heard from people who have pushed the bounds on what a good comeback story looks like.

We have also been lucky to have a few episodes where we have discussed the same topics with content experts that have done their own diligence in telling stories of communal devastation and personal redemption, giving us a long peek behind the curtain of how the opioid epidemic built up and unfolded.

In Ep. 034 we interviewed Rylee Jo, who adds an important voice to our conversation that we have not heard from firsthand to this point – the child of a person with a substance use disorder.

Rylee, a brave and bold guest, talks with me about what it was like to figure out that something wasn't quite right in her home life, how she and her mothers relationship has grown and changed over the years, and offers some advice for other kids that might be going thru the same thing.
