Turning Rage Into Good with Jo Holcombe
from Rocket Motivation Hosted by Rod Cate
In this week's episode, we learn the story of Jo Holcombe and her mother Shirley, who suffered from elder abuse by a caregiver. Following Shirley's death, Jo turned her anger and rage into a positive. She worked tirelessly to have a law enacted in Alabama that requires individuals convicted of felony elder abuse to register (somewhat like a sex offender registry) in an attempt to stop elder abuse. Jo's perseverance in not stopping until "Shirley's Law" was enacted provides a great story of inspiration.
