About EMPOWERED Voices: Recovery to Resiliency

A heartfelt podcast series that brings to light the challenges and triumphs of families navigating substance use during and after pregnancy. Through compelling stories, expert insights, and actionable guidance, this series explores not only the personal journeys of recovery but also the broader social determinants of health — such as housing stability, access to care, trauma, socioeconomic conditions, and community support — that shape the experiences of individuals and families affected by substance use disorder. Each episode aims to empower listeners with understanding, compassion, and tools for support, fostering empathy, breaking down stigmas, and promoting healing and resilience within families and communities.

The contents are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily represent the official views of, nor an endorsement, by the Southern Nevada Health District, CDC, or the U.S. Government. Hosted by Farzad Kamyar, MD and Amani Wilson. Executive Producers are Dr. Andria Peterson and Jason Roth, with production assistance by Rachel Mack.
