McCoy House Podcast

What role does giving back play in healing? On this episode of The McCoy House Podcast, we sit down with Executive Director Jordan Butler to talk about why service is such a vital part of recovery and how helping others can help restore purpose, dignity, and hope.   Jordan shares her personal involvement with The McCoy House, how acts of service become part of the recovery journey, and why giving back often becomes a turning point for those rebuilding their lives. Through stories from community partnership events and firsthand experiences, we explore how serving others can be deeply transformative for both the giver and the receiver.   We also discuss the powerful connection between recovery and purpose, why community support matters, and practical ways listeners can get involved through volunteering, partnerships, or supporting the mission of The McCoy House.   This is a meaningful conversation about healing, hope, and how sometimes the path to rebuilding your own life begins by helping someone else rebuild theirs.   This podcast is produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.

What if something as simple as a donation could help change a life?   In this episode, we sit down with Hallie Brand, manager at The McCoy Thrift Store & Boutique, to take a deeper look inside the store and the powerful role it plays in supporting the women of The McCoy House. What may look like a typical thrift store is actually a place where recovery meets responsibility, where structure and compassion work hand in hand, and where women begin to rebuild their confidence one shift at a time.   Hallie shares how the store is directly connected to The McCoy House, how residents are involved in the day-to-day operations, and why that consistency and accountability are so important in the early stages of recovery. We also walk through how donations are processed, what is most helpful to give, and how every item sold helps fund the mission and create real opportunities for the women in the program.   If you’ve ever donated, shopped, or even considered getting involved, this episode offers a behind-the-scenes look at how your support truly makes a difference. Because here, it’s not just about what’s on the shelves. It’s about the lives being rebuilt behind them.   This episode is produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions

In this episode of The McCoy House Podcast, we welcome Dr. Deborah Gross, MD, board certified in psychiatry and addiction medicine and author of 90 Ways in 90 Days. With more than forty years of clinical experience, Dr. Gross brings both medical expertise and compassionate clarity to one of the most misunderstood conditions of our time.   Together, we explore addiction as a medical disorder, not a moral failing. Dr. Gross explains what substance use does to the brain and body, how trauma increases vulnerability to dependency, and why structured recovery programs are critical in rebuilding healthy neural pathways and sustainable habits. She shares practical, evidence based tools that help lay the foundation for long term sobriety and stability.   Drawing from her work with the women of The McCoy House, Dr. Gross offers insight into what meaningful healing requires, including structure, accountability, clinical support, and hope.   #AddictionRecovery #AddictionScience #RecoveryPodcast #MentalHealthRecovery #DrDeborahGross #SobrietySupport #TraumaAndAddiction #RecoveryEducation #McCoyHouse #AudioAlchemyProductions This episode is produced by Daniel Anderson at Audio Alchemy Productions.
