Jon Redd
Monday Jan 17, 2022
Monday Jan 17, 2022
Jon Redd struggled with addiction throughout his teenage years and went into residential treatment at the age of 19 for alcohol and drug use. After treatment, he earned a degree in Psychology from the U of U and attended the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Treatment Training program through the Graduate School of Social Work at the U of U.
Upon graduation, he got married, started a family, and went on to earn an MBA from BYU. Within months of finishing his MBA program, Jon was diagnosed with advanced-stage thyroid cancer in early 2003. As a result of complications from his first surgery, Jon had a severed branch of his spinal accessory nerve and was prescribed oxycontin. This quickly progressed to include alcohol and other mind-altering substances.
Jon’s story involves a 14-year struggle with drugs and alcohol, losing his career, and nearly losing his family. He tried using the knowledge from his education to fight this disease and felt too much shame to ask for help. In desperation, he said a prayer and asked for help. His prayer was answered in a remarkable way and continues to be answered every day since.
On Aug 24, 2017, he went into a treatment program and now has an opportunity to work in recovery where he uses his experience to help others. Jon is in the process of opening a residential treatment facility that will have an emphasis on spiritual connection. He is actively involved in AA with his personal recovery and serves on the board for the non-profit recovery club in his community.

Monday Jan 03, 2022
Monday Jan 03, 2022
Mark Richards, the owner of Wasatch Recovery, and Wendy Smart McCarter, our Clinical Director, join us today for another episode of The Wasatch Way. Wendy is one of the reasons why Wasatch Recovery is the BEST!
In this episode, Mark and Wendy, discuss the real definition of addiction. “Addiction is the perpetual avoidance of legitimate suffering.” It is s one of the many powerful principles Wendy teaches our clients.
Mark and Wendy also discuss how setting boundaries is crucial for anyone’s success in recovery. It’s eye-opening how setting boundaries is a form of self-love. If you or if someone you know is feeling alone, lost, and not connected this episode is a must-listen.

Debra Bonner

Thursday Dec 30, 2021
Debra Bonner lights up every room she walks into. Debra is a Transformational Vocal Coach. Her technique has been effective in eliminating vocal nodules and correcting nearly every vocal problem. Debra has taught women who have been suffering from anxiety, depression, and low self-worth. After working with them for a short while, the symptoms diminished, and in some cases completely dissipated. These women were then able to take care of their families and some even started their own businesses.
Debra trained classically from the age of 13 until she graduated from the University of Michigan with a Masters in Vocal Performance. For decades, Debra trained with and was an associate of Seth Riggs and Richard Miller, two of the top vocal pedagogues of the 20th & 21st centuries.
Debra has found as a vocal coach, that most importantly, it's about finding your true and authentic voice, which she does through a series of cause-and-effect exercises. She has taken the time to put her life’s work online at yourtruevoice.com.
Debra has been through some very rough times but that has prepared her gifts to share with the world. She is that missionary who wants to teach the world to sing in “perfect harmony” so that all might have joy.

Kelsey Autry
Monday Dec 27, 2021
Monday Dec 27, 2021
Kelsey Autry is a light that is now shining bright! You will not believe what Kelsey has overcome in her life. Abandoned by her parents when she was a child, 13 years of addiction, 3 DUI’s, overdoses, criminal charges, jail, and the worst was the lie that ‘she would always be a junkie!’ Now, in January she is going to celebrate with her supportive husband and two beautiful children, 4 years of being clean and sober!
“I will always be a Junkie.” That’s the lie she told herself. She couldn’t see a future past waking up & feening for her next high. Doing whatever it took. She was lost & broken inside. Filled with darkness.
She now lives in the light and has a powerful story that will inspire you to have hope to overcome your own challenges. Kelsey says to go after it! And for the ones looking down on you- (trust me, she had MANY), let them be the biggest motivators in your recovery! It feels good to know they now see her thriving when they once called her trash! Not anymore! SHE HAS RECOVERED!
If you’re lost & broken inside right now- reach out. Seek treatment. It saved Kelsey’s life and I pray it saves yours, too. 🙏.

The Christian Smith Family

Monday Dec 20, 2021
Christian is recovered from addiction and alcoholism. He and Kelle have been married for 40 years and have 4 children, Adam (Natalie), Chad (Haley), Sara (Holden) and Abbey (Cody). They are blessed with 8 grandchildren, soon to be 9.
Christian has shared his story before, but wanted to have his wife and children share their side of things. Sara represents the siblings as she shares her perspective of addiction from a child's view. She says she didn’t see her dad sober until she was 17 years old. Sara now works in the recovery community as a Substance Use Disorder Counselor and is pursuing her master’s degree as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Sara has a passion for recovery and change. She is a wonderful ambassador for recovery.
Kelle also has her perspective as a wife of an addict/alcoholic. She has been involved in Christian’s addiction from day one. Kelle has worked in hospital administration for 34 years.
Kelle and Sara tell how Christian’s addiction caused much pain and hurt in the marriage and the family. They share that Christian was the only one who couldn’t see the pain he was causing. Sara says. “Change is uncomfortable; however, we know change is inevitable. Addiction impacted our family in ways which were horrific.” Sara goes on to say; “We wouldn’t wish addiction/alcoholism on our worst enemy, however, it has been one of the greatest blessings in our lives. To see the change our father has made in his life has been miraculous. Our dad is our hero.”
