Girlfriendit: Finding Hope with Beth Kempshall and Hala Matzelle

Do you live with hope in your life and hope for the world?

Two significant voices of hope join our show this week:

Beth Kempshall
who has served as the Executive Director of the Arizona High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) since January 2011.  The Arizona HIDTA coordinates and supports the efforts of more than 636 sworn law enforcement officials from 70 agencies to target the most significant drug trafficking and money laundering organizations impacting Arizona.

Law enforcement continues to do all it can from a criminal law standpoint, conducting investigations, making arrests and seizures. But what else, from your point of view, needs to be done to help decrease drug use, addiction, and crime that results from the opiate prescription/heroin use epidemic we are facing?

She shares great tips for parents in identifying suspected drug use and how to become more intentionally aware of trends and what's happening around us.

Also, joining our show is Halo Matzelle. Halo led a charmed life until receiving a shocking diagnosis in 2011 of a rare brain tumor sitting over the main artery in her brain. She details her painful diagnosis, risky surgery and miraculous recovery in her memoir, Halo Found Hope.
 
Halo's passion is helping those who face various challenges and afflictions discover where true hope is found.
