Mindy Vincent (Dedicated to Allie Anderson & All Who Are Struggling)
On this episode of The Other Side, Tyler sits down with Mindy Vincent — a force in Utah’s recovery movement, founder of the Utah Harm Reduction Coalition, and a fearless advocate for people who use drugs, people in recovery, and families fighting to keep their loved ones alive.
This episode is recorded in the wake of a devastating loss:
Allie Anderson, a friend whose life ended by suicide just days before this conversation.
This episode is dedicated to her memory — and to every person who has been touched by suicide, addiction, or the invisible battles that so many carry alone.
Mindy brings her signature honesty, humor, and fire as she opens up about:
- Losing her own sister to overdose
- The truth about harm reduction and why it saves lives
- Fighting stigma with compassion and evidence
- Her Supreme Court case advocating for all non‑violent offenders to have their Second Amendment rights restored
- What real support looks like for people trying to rebuild their lives
This conversation is raw, real, and rooted in the belief that every life has value — even when the world tries to convince us otherwise.
It’s a reminder that mental health matters, that grief is heavy but shared, and that hope can still be found on the other side of loss.
For Allie. For the ones we’ve lost. For the ones still fighting.
