Episode #146: Cordie Rodenbaugh & Renee Clements | Parker, Mason, and the Walk for Lives

On this powerful episode of Recovery Lab, Brynn, Daniel, and David sit down with Cordie Rodenbaugh and Renee Clements, two mothers carrying unimaginable grief and turning it into action.   Cordie shares the story of her son, Parker, whose death led to the creation of Parker’s Law, legislation designed to hold drug dealers accountable when their actions lead to death. Renee shares the heartbreaking story of her son, Mason, who died at just 18 years old after fentanyl changed the course of his life and devastated everyone who loved him.   Together, they discuss grief, stigma, fentanyl poisoning, Narcan, justice, motherhood, and the upcoming Walk for Lives event in Madison, Mississippi. This community event honors lives lost, educates families, provides free Narcan, connects people with recovery resources, and reminds us that this crisis can impact any family.   Join the Walk for Lives on Saturday, July 11, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at 100 Liberty Park Drive in Madison, Mississippi. Bring your family, hear powerful stories, connect with local resources, and help raise awareness about the dangers of fentanyl and synthetic drugs.   This episode is heavy, honest, and deeply important. It is a call to show up, say their names, support grieving families, and help save lives.   No shame. No judgment. Just truth, grace, and hope.   Produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.
