Breaking the Cycle: From Addiction & Jail to Owning a Recovery Program | Mallory Bowen

In this powerful episode of Addiction Uncovered, host Jill Nastase interviews Mallory Bowen, a former teen mom who battled addiction, probation, toxic relationships, and self-destruction — and now owns a successful intensive outpatient program in Utah dedicated to helping men reenter society after prison.

Mallory shares how addiction began with abandonment wounds, how the “Jaywalker Story” from AA changed her mindset, and why she now leads with love when working with violent offenders and men rebuilding their lives.

This episode is about redemption, surrender, and discovering purpose after chaos.
