Mandy Manners on Healing from Trauma and Embracing Sobriety

When you're in recovery, it's you walk through the world looking at people in a different way, because it's like: wow, I have no idea what you've been through, you know.
What happens when the weight of trauma becomes too much to bear? In this compelling episode of 'Behind The Smile', Ash Butterss sits down with Mandy Manners, a trauma-informed wellbeing and sobriety coach from France. Mandy's journey through recovery is nothing short of inspiring. After facing a traumatic experience that led her to self-medicate with alcohol and drugs, she has spent over five years transforming her life through extensive trauma recovery work.
Her story is raw, powerful, and filled with hope. Mandy opens up about her past struggles and the pivotal moments that guided her towards healing. She shares how letting go of shame and forgiving herself played crucial roles in her recovery. Throughout their conversation, Ash and Mandy discuss the impact of trauma on mental health, the importance of early intervention, and how sobriety can help design a life that protects one's well-being.
This episode doesn't shy away from tough topics like surviving sexual assault and the deep-seated effects of trauma. Yet, it also shines a light on the transformative power of connection and safety in the recovery process. Mandy's story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the possibilities that come with embracing sobriety. If you're seeking inspiration or struggling with similar issues, this episode offers a beacon of hope.
