Ever wondered how a ranch in New Mexico could be the backdrop for a profound recovery story? In this episode of 'Recovery Plus Podcast', Dr. Mei-Li Hennen chats with Melissa Vashé, whose life journey is both inspiring and transformative. Melissa's past was filled with addiction, heartbreak, and trauma.

Her story isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about finding peace and purpose in the most unexpected places. Melissa's journey to recovery was anything but straightforward.

In this episode, Melissa shares how trust, vulnerability, and even fear play crucial roles in her coaching methods. She believes that these elements are not just obstacles but tools for personal growth.
Her story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible and that a fulfilling life awaits those who are willing to embrace change. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Melissa's story offers valuable insights and hope. Tune in to hear how she transformed her life and how you can find your own path to healing.
