My Recovery Story
Eight years ago, I was incarcerated, grieving deeplyβnavigating trauma, child loss, infertility, and the weight of addiction. I rose through faith, connection, and purpose. Recovery gave me my voice. I now have a village that holds me up, and a spiritual home that grounds me. Today, I live with purpose, healing, and hope. I am living proof that healing is possible. From incarceration, trauma, and loss to purpose, peace, and service. My journey has shaped me into who I am today. Being a Peer Specialist is my way of giving back the love and support that saved me. With heart, Shavone πΏ
My Motivation To Help
"I help others heal because I remember what it felt like to suffer in silence β and I vowed no one around me would have to." π
