In this episode, Heather interviews Jeremy French, the founder of Making Whole, an organization that fills a critical gap in the addiction recovery treatment system. While traditional recovery programs often focus on short-term stabilization, Making Whole provides the missing piece—long-term support through meaningful work, mentorship, and personal growth.
Jeremy shares his journey of asking a pivotal question: Why do some people thrive in long-term recovery while others struggle or don’t survive?
Through his exploration, he identified key elements that support sustainable recovery—mentorship, creativity, problem-solving, and the ability to navigate uncertainty.
These insights became the foundation of Making Whole, where men in recovery not only learn to craft high-quality custom furniture but also rebuild their lives and develop the skills necessary to thrive.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
• The importance of creating an environment of change where people want to stay and get better.
• How meaningful work and mentorship create a foundation for sustainable recovery.
• The role of passion, creative problem solving, and embracing uncertainty in healing.
Tune in to hear how Making Whole is changing lives—one handcrafted piece at a time.
