About this episode
In this episode, we sit down with Alabama, syndicated radio personality and host of The Alabama Show on 103.7 The Q. Alabama shares how a simple email to APC turned into a meaningful partnership rooted in her personal experience—the overdose loss of her mother. She opens up about how this tragedy impacted her and how she uses her platform to amplify her mother's story, creating space for families and individuals affected by substance use disorder.
Alabama also reflects on her path into radio and how making key mindset shifts has helped her grow—personally and professionally. These changes have shaped how she shows up in the world and deepened her ability to connect with others. She also shares what life looks like outside of the studio, including her love for animals. Tune in for an honest, powerful conversation about healing, purpose, and using your voice to build community.
