MissMaeg is joined by Carleah Phillips Summers, Executive Director at Nathan's Ridge: Structured Sober Living For Men and Founder/Executive Director at Rainbow of Love Recovery Foundation in Frederick, Maryland. Carleah shares how both her and her husband's personal journeys from trauma and addiction to recovery inspired their joint efforts to create faith-based support for men transitioning out of prison and mothers struggling to find freedom in recovery while having their children live with them in the program. Carleah outlines the services provided at both programs and why transitional living is an important part of recovery for these specific populations.
