We're welcoming the extraordinary Jackie to our show this week. At 74, she wields her life story like a beacon, lighting the way with lessons born from grit, tenacity and a spirit that simply refuses to be extinguished. Jackie's tales are woven together, from her global chef father to her own journey through the labyrinth of life, bring with them an undeniable wisdom and an intriguing perspective on how she perceives the world.

The conversation takes an enlightening turn as Jackie bravely shares her path to recovery. Addiction and alcoholism, often shrouded in misunderstanding, are dissected as we delve into their complex nature. How does culture influence our recovery narratives? What power does spirituality hold in transforming lives? Jackie's tale of resilience as a nursing student, her nomination for Nurse of the Year, and her pilgrimage to the Fresno Alano Club is nothing short of compelling. 

Jackie also discusses the transformative power of shared experiences for addicts in recovery. Remember the feeling when she spoke at a convention in Israel, and her insights on the importance of shedding the 'garbage' of our past. We also discuss the role of technology and support networks in her recovery journey. Tune in and be part of Jackie's journey as it unfolds – a story of recovery, transformation, and hope that you wouldn't want to miss!
