About this episode

This month on Healthy AF, Amy is shining a spotlight on a local nonprofit that stopped her in her tracks — and it's easy to see why. TIDES (Transforming Individuals through Dedicated Empowerment and Support) serves one of the most vulnerable and most overlooked populations in Wilmington: pregnant women and new moms navigating substance use disorder. Amy sits down with TIDES CEO Debbie Leggett to hear how a single OB-GYN's moment of conviction — the moment he looked at a patient and thought, "this could be my daughter" — sparked a program that is quietly changing lives across North Carolina. Real, eye-opening, and a masterclass in what happens when judgment gives way to compassion. Come for the story, stay for the reminder that transitions — all transitions — are more universal than we think. click here. If you heard yourself in any part of today's conversation, that's probably not an accident — grab a free consultation with Amy and let's figure out together what your next step looks like.
