Finding Purpose Through Pain: Kristen Johnson’s Reentry Journey

In this episode of The Edge, we visited with Kristen Johnson, Reentry Coordinator for Graham and Greenlee County. After years of battling mental health struggles and addiction, Kristen discovered her true purpose—to help others walking a similar path. Today, she works with the Sunrise Project in collaboration with the justice system, and she also shares hope through her prison newsletter, The Light. Kristen’s story is one of resilience, redemption, and purpose, and she’s now using her journey to inspire lasting change for others.
