Check out this podcast! (The link is in the comments.)
Two incredibly brave and inspiring guests, Louisa Martin, PhD, CRNA and Rigo Garcia, MSN, MBA, CRNA, opened up about their personal battles with substance use disorder. They didn’t hold anything back. From near rock bottom to recovery, from fear and shame to leadership and advocacy, their stories are raw, real, and deeply relevant to our lives as students and future CRNAs.

Here are some things discussed:

🧠 Why high achievers and CRNAs are especially at risk for substance use
📖 Personal stories of addiction, recovery, and redemption from Louisa and Rigo
📞 What to know about AANA's 24/7 confidential helpline
🚫 Breaking the stigma: why it’s okay not to be okay
❤️ How to help a classmate or colleague in crisis
