In this week's episode, Utah's First Lady Abby Cox is joined by Megan Carter to talk about how substance abuse impacted her during her teenage years, how her two boys were taken away after she began to spiral deeper into her addiction, and the steps that she had to take in order to find sobriety.

Then Megan opens up about meeting Vanessa Knickerbocker after she became a foster parent with her husband to Megan's boys, how the two created a special bond over time, and how Megan learned to survive outside of treatment with her boys living a sober lifestyle.

Lastly, we dive into how the two families have begun making memories together and why it's so important to focus on the reunification of families in foster care.
