When Alexis Pleus, a civil engineer and dedicated educator, lost her son Jeff to a heroin overdose, she discovered that everything she'd been taught about addiction was wrong. This devastating truth ignited a new mission.

In this powerful episode, Alexis, founder of Truth Pharm, shares her journey from grief to advocacy. She reveals the false dogma that failed her family and now drives her to spare others from the same discrimination and misinformation.

You'll hear her inspiring story of creating the National Trail of Truth, a memorial that turns collective loss into a force for change. This is more than a story about loss; it's a testament to the power of a mother's love and her relentless pursuit of a more compassionate and accurate understanding of substance use.

Don't miss Alexis's raw and compelling account of how she's turning pain into purpose. PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU ARE IN THE WASHINGTON D.C. AREA, THE TRAIL OF TRUTH 2025 WILL BE ON SEPTEMBER 27TH FROM 11AM - 7PM ON THE NATIONAL MALL.
