This episode is a slightly different groove than what you may be accustomed to from The Encourage Project. While there is definitely a story of someone with a vision to take impactful action, the story hits so close to home (literally), it might shock you. I encourage you to get curious about where you live – and what else might be “living” with you. Listen in!

Kathi McCarty is a mom, activist, and founder of Meth Toxins Awareness Alliance. After experiencing a serious health issue, Kathi could not return to her position leading a large bank branch, so she decided to rent her family home as a means to offset her medical costs. What seemed like a sensible solution turned into her worst nightmare when her beautiful home was rented to a meth head by an irresponsible and unethical property management company. The tenant turned her house into a meth lab, contaminating her home while putting her neighbors and her entire community at risk. Kathi has turned the mess into a mission to raise awareness and educate people about the insidious presence of meth toxicity in our homes and lives. 

In this episode:

  • An accidental discovery
