Addiction, Recovery, and Redemption: Faith, Healing, and Hope

May 13, 2025 • Amanda Rankin • Season 1 • Episode 6

In this episode of Taking It Off-Topic, I sit down with LaTanya Cole, RN, author of Reclaiming Me: A Journey to Recovery and Redemption, for a raw and honest conversation about addiction, healing, and hope.

LaTanya shares her personal story of how upbringing challenges, heartbreak, abandonment, and the stress of being a single mother created a fertile ground for her spiral into opioid addiction. She recounts the struggles she faced, the turning points in her journey, and the steps she took toward recovery and redemption.

This episode is for anyone navigating addiction, supporting a loved one, or seeking encouragement that healing and transformation are possible, even in the midst of life’s most difficult circumstances.
