My Recovery Story
I am in long‑term recovery and have rebuilt a life grounded in honesty, resilience, and hope. My journey through cancer, heart failure, grief, addiction, trauma, and parenting challenges has shaped me into someone who lives transparently and uses those experiences to support others. Today, my quality of life is defined by purpose—I lead peer teams, teach recovery‑focused trainings, and walk alongside others as they navigate their own healing. Recovery has given me clarity, compassion, and the ability to empower others to stand tall on their own path.
My Motivation To Help
I choose peer support because I’ve been the person who needed someone to listen without judgment, to sit with me in the hard moments, and to remind me that I wasn’t alone. Now I get to be that person for others. My lived experience gives me the ability to connect deeply, understand genuinely, and support people in ways that feel safe, real, and empowering.
