In Part 1 of this powerful two-part episode, we sit down with Erica Hamlett, advocate, healer, and founder of T.H.E. S.O.A.P. (Thriving, Healing, Empowering Seeds of Addicted Parents), to uncover the story that birthed her mission. Before the movement came the journey. Erica shares her experience of growing up as the child of addicted parents, becoming a teenage mother, and making the courageous choice to break generational cycles. Through laughter, reflection, and raw honesty, Erica takes us through the moments that shaped her strength — the pain, the perseverance, and the community that helped her find light in the darkness. This episode is a reminder that healing begins long before recognition and that self-compassion is one of the greatest revolutions of all.
