    Send us a text

    In this episode, we're joined by two special guests—the owners of Unity Pharmacy. Their presence and mission have truly transformed the way I view pharmacies and pharmacists. I deeply admire their passion, commitment to going above and beyond for each customer, and especially their dedication to supporting individuals with substance use issues, a group that is often overlooked. What I find particularly inspiring is how they’ve built their business with courage, determination, and unwavering belief in themselves. I’m thrilled to have connected with them and for the opportunity to share their story. Their pharmacy and the exceptional service they provide make customers like me feel more welcome and confident in seeking guidance about medications, ultimately empowering us to take charge of our own medicine management.

    Send us a text

    In today’s episode, we’re joined by Jake, who shares his unique journey to recovery. Through his story, we learn that recovery isn’t always a straight path—sometimes it’s not about being either 100% sober or back to square one. For Jake, part of the challenge was that traditional meetings didn’t always resonate with him. But he found his own way forward—working hard, earning money, and finding fulfillment in serving others.

    Jake talks about how, these days, he’s no longer focused on using substances. Instead, his energy is directed toward building his future, having fun, and enjoying life. Now with seven years of sobriety under his belt, he’s also a proud dog dad! We’re so proud of how far he’s come and inspired by his dedication to his own recovery and growth.
