Rooted and Real

Welcome to "Rooted and Real" ... "Recovery with Root" rebranded! 

This season, we’re excited to welcome Ashley Hickey, Chief of Operations at Root Center, as she steps into a new role as co-host of the podcast.

Ashley joins Chief of Staff Margaux Hyde as they take the conversation forward—diving into mental health and substance use topics with honesty, openness, and curiosity. Together, they’ll also bring in guest voices to expand and deepen the discussion from a range of perspectives.

This podcast is designed to feel like a real, approachable conversation for anyone interested in these topics—whether you’re personally impacted, supporting someone else, or simply looking to learn and engage.

Follow us on social media to stay updated on new episodes, and don’t hesitate to reach out with topics or questions you’d like to hear discussed in future conversations.

Happy listening!
