Today, I am honored to introduce you to Jaclyn Brown. She lost her younger brother, Marc, to a heroin overdose on November 16, 2018. Since then, she has become very passionate about advocacy and education around the topics of substance use, mental health, and harm reduction. Jaclyn works with family members in advocacy to provide education and resources and empower other family members to use their voices and stories to effect change in their communities.
She left corporate America to pursue her passion. Jaclyn works as the Family Advisory Committee Liaison for Mobilize Recovery. She owns Stay Golden Coaching & Consulting and Jaclyn Kane Creations Recovery.
Today, Jaclyn opens up about losing her younger brother to the disease of addiction, finding grief counseling, and the impact Marc's death has had on her life. She also discusses being the eldest sibling and how that role played out in her family.
