In this episode of Second Cup Sessions, we're joined by Jana and Susie, the powerhouse duo behind Omega NW, a Portland-based nonprofit that helps women transition out of addiction, homelessness, incarceration, and abuse by stepping back into the workforce with mentorship, job skills, and real-life support. We talk about what it looks like to not just place someone in a job, but to walk alongside them—teaching advocacy, building confidence, and reminding women they are deeply loved and not defined by their past. Jana and Susie share moving stories of transformation (and plenty of laughter along the way), while we reflect on how small businesses can play a huge role in restoring dignity, breaking down stigma, and even discovering growth themselves through these partnerships. It's a conversation about second chances, community, and the power of showing up—because sometimes the simplest invitation or act of support can change a life, yours included.
