  Sep 23, 202658 min

  In Episode 148 of the Recovery Lab Podcast, David, Brynn, and Daniel welcome Ruth Ann Rigby back to the Audio Alchemy Studios to talk about her new consulting endeavor, Rigby Consulting, LLC, and the next chapter of her work in behavioral health, crisis navigation, recovery, and community education. Ruth Ann brings nearly 30 years of experience in addiction treatment and behavioral health to this new venture. The conversation also turns to the recent deaths of two University of Mississippi students in Oxford and the broader question of what can be done to prevent overdoses on college campuses and across the country. Ruth Ann also shares insight from her new article, “Gas Station Heroin, Huffing, and the Drugs Hiding in Plain Sight,” which focuses on substances families may not recognize, including kratom and concentrated 7-OH products, nitrous oxide and inhalants, tianeptine, counterfeit pills, and the emerging synthetic opioid cychlorphine. The group discusses warning signs, Narcan access, education, harm reduction, early intervention, and why families should act when something feels wrong rather than waiting for a crisis. Ruth Ann’s message is simple: awareness and early action can save lives. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RGOOBY9vGsgXNqrO9HiMq3MAUIl9RYnayZdxPvHt4Bg/edit?usp=sharing It’s a conversation about leadership, prevention, recovery, and finding new ways to help families before tragedy happens.

  Episode #147: Keeping the Doors Open at Yana Club

  Jul 1, 202659 min

  The Yana Club has been the heart of recovery in Jackson, Mississippi for nearly 50 years, providing thousands of alcoholics and addicts with a safe place to attend meetings, find sponsors, build friendships, and begin a new way of life. In Episode 147 of The Recovery Lab Podcast, Daniel Anderson and David Sugg welcome Emma Johnson, Walter Boon, and Vernon Jones for an important conversation about the past, present, and future of the Yana Club. The guests discuss the devastating fire that damaged the clubhouse earlier this year, the unexpected challenges that followed, including asbestos remediation, structural repairs, roofing, flooring, accessibility improvements, and other expenses not covered by insurance. They also explain why preserving Yana is about much more than restoring a building. It’s about protecting one of the most important recovery resources in Central Mississippi. You’ll hear how the newly formed Yana Finance Committee is working alongside the Board of Directors to create long-term financial stability through a monthly membership program, community partnerships, fundraising efforts, and a vision that will allow the clubhouse to serve future generations. The conversation also explores why service work is essential to long-term recovery, the importance of helping newcomers, the unique role clubhouses play within the recovery community, and how every person who has ever benefited from Yana has an opportunity to help ensure its doors remain open. Whether Yana played a role in your recovery or you simply believe everyone deserves a safe place to find hope, this episode is a reminder that recovery is strongest when a community comes together to give back.

  May 31, 202655 min

  In Episode #143 of the Recovery Lab Podcast, Brynn Knox, David Sugg, and Daniel Anderson welcome Stephanie Hathorne, a therapist with The Shepherd’s Staff and founder of Broken Branch Equine Assisted Psychotherapy in Mount Olive, Mississippi. Stephanie shares her personal journey through anxiety, panic, depression, therapy, faith, and healing, and how those experiences eventually led her into the counseling field. She also opens up about the impact of Ruth Glaze, the sacred work being done at The Shepherd’s Staff, and the importance of therapists doing their own healing work. The conversation then moves into the world of equine assisted psychotherapy, where horses become powerful mirrors for honesty, boundaries, trust, regulation, and emotional awareness. Stephanie explains why horses are uniquely able to sense misalignment, respond to anxiety, reveal hidden patterns, and help clients work through trauma, addiction recovery, neurodiversity, family dynamics, and emotional blocks in a way traditional talk therapy sometimes cannot reach. This episode explores therapy, recovery, nature, faith, vulnerability, and the healing power of being fully present. Topics include: Equine assisted psychotherapy • Addiction recovery and emotional healing • Anxiety, panic, and depression • The role of horses in trauma work • Boundaries, trust, and self-awareness • Neurodiversity, ADHD, autism, and family support • The importance of nature, grounding, and regulation • Why healing sometimes happens without words Sometimes the truth we need most is revealed in silence.
