The 2% is an eight-episode video podcast, funded by TELUS Storyhive, and filmed and produced by Hudson House Creative Co. Hosted by Stephanie and co-host Margery, the series shares conversations with individuals walking their own recovery journeys. These are stories of resilience, honesty, and the small but powerful percentage of people who have found hope through addiction recovery.

Steph, an advocate learning to face her own struggles, and Margie, a recovering addict, open up about the realities of addiction and the surprising ways it touches more lives than most people realize. With honesty, empathy, and even moments of humor, The 2% Podcast explores what it means to struggle, to heal, and to find hope.
