In this impactful episode of the Addiction Recovery Podcast, hosts Ronnie LeDuff and Michael Oakley sit down with Angela Shockley, the founder of Mo’s Movement, a nonprofit created in honor of her daughter Morgan (“Mo”), who tragically lost her life to drug poisoning.
Angela shares the inspiration behind Mo’s Movement and how she’s turning personal loss into community action. Through awareness campaigns like The Empty Chair Project—placing empty chairs to represent those lost to drug poisoning—Mo’s Movement raises visibility on the fentanyl crisis and the need for systemic change. Angela also highlights the organization’s advocacy for criminal investigations into all drug poisoning deaths and its efforts to provide recovery resources, education, and support in her community.
This episode delivers a powerful reminder that loved ones lost are not just statistics—they are lives that matter, and their legacies can spark real progress. If you're seeking motivation to fight stigma, support recovery, or create change in your own community, this conversation is a must-listen.
