In this powerful episode, we sit down with Kevin Neary, a man who has faced the darkest depths of addiction and the criminal justice system. Kevin's journey is one of resilience, redemption, and the unwavering belief that change is possible, no matter how dire the circumstances.

For years, Kevin found himself trapped in a vicious cycle of addiction, bouncing in and out of the criminal justice system. Childhood trauma cast a long shadow over his life, leading him down a path of self-destruction that seemed impossible to escape. He witnessed firsthand the devastating consequences of addiction – from prison cells to homelessness to the premature loss of life.

But amidst the darkness, Kevin found a glimmer of hope. Through sheer determination and the support of others, he began to turn his life around. Today, he stands as a beacon of inspiration, co-founding Aid & Abet, an organisation dedicated to helping individuals transition out of prison and into a life of purpose and fulfilment.

Kevin's journey serves as a testament to the transformative power of resilience and the human spirit. His story reminds us that it's never too late to start anew, to rewrite the script of our lives, and to forge a path towards healing and redemption.

Join us as we delve deep into Kevin's journey – a journey marked by struggle, triumph, and above all, hope. Because no matter how dark the night may seem, there is always a dawn waiting to break.
