Sarah's Story: Embracing 'OK'ness in Recovery

I would have loved when I was younger to be told was that I'm good enough and I am enough and everything would be okay.
Imagine finding comfort in the words of a loved one long after they're gone. In this episode of 'Visible Journeys', Sarah opens up to Justin about her path to recovery from addiction and how the voice of her late father has been a guiding light. Sarah reflects on the concept of 'OK'ness, a notion she finds deeply reassuring, especially during tough times.
Her father's words, echoing the sentiment from 'The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel', remind her that 'everything will be alright in the end, and if it’s not alright, it’s not the end'. This mantra has become a cornerstone in her journey to healing. Sarah's story isn't just about her own recovery; it's about using her experiences to uplift others.
She’s now a vocal advocate within the Towards Recovery community and mental health charities, offering support and hope to those navigating similar struggles. Her tale is a testament to the power of self-care and the importance of nurturing oneself, even when the road is winding and uncertain. Tune in to hear Sarah's inspiring journey and discover how embracing 'OK'ness can make all the difference.
