After spending over 20 years in prison, Stacy Dismang Wright walked out with more than a second chance—she walked out with purpose.
In this raw and powerful conversation, Stacy shares how her journey through addiction, incarceration, and recovery led her to a new calling: helping others break the same destructive cycles she once lived in. Now a peer specialist at Lane Change, a no-cost recovery center in Missouri, Stacy is proof that long-term recovery is possible—and that transformation doesn’t stop with one person.
From panic attacks in the living room to mentoring clients facing their own battles, Stacy’s story is full of grit, grace, and redemption. You’ll hear how the On-the-Job Training program through workforce development played a vital role in her transition, and how her work is now changing lives every single day.
If you’ve ever wondered whether people really change—this episode is your answer.
