her from further abuse but plunged her into the world of addiction. Her story
is not just one of survival but of transformation, as she navigates through the
complexities of recovery, discovering her inner strength and purpose along the
way.

Rich and Wendy guide the conversation with empathy, drawing out

coach. Nicole's journey is a powerful testament to the possibility of renewal
and the importance of choosing life and healing, no matter the obstacles.

This episode, supported by Rage Against Addiction, not only

path to recovery, offering hope and guidance to those still fighting their way
out of the shadows. Nicole's story is a beacon for anyone seeking to transform

Sunshine” a must-listen episode on Conversations with Rich Bennet

Rich Bennett Podcaster

I'm a Marine Corps Veteran, Professional DJ, Entrepreneur, and Professional Podcaster.

I started the podcast “Harford County Living” in 2015, 3 years after launching the positive news website harfordcountyliving.com. A few years later I started getting requests from people outside of Maryland to come on the show as guests and the podcast became “Harford County Living with Rich Bennett”. Needless to say, more requests came in and a few people suggested to me that I needed to expand the podcast and change the name again and “Conversations with Rich Bennett” was born.
