As always, remember, you are only one decision away from a completely different life, and it is never too late to start loving yourself.
Picture yourself on the deck of a superyacht, the ocean stretching endlessly around you. Now imagine that same ocean as the sea of life's challenges. In this episode of 'Rooted Recovery Stories', host Patrick Custer sits down with Captain Sandy Yawn, the celebrated superyacht captain from Bravo’s 'Below Deck Mediterranean'. Sandy shares her riveting journey through addiction, recovery, and her role as an LGBTQ+ advocate.
Her story is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of saying 'yes' to recovery, even when life feels like a tempest. Captain Sandy opens up about how addiction affected her family and personal life, and how she found hope and new beginnings through recovery. She draws fascinating parallels between the skills needed to captain a yacht and the principles of recovery. Both require leadership, clear communication, and unwavering commitment.

This episode also touches on her experiences as an out member of the LGBTQ+ community and what Pride means to her. Sandy recounts a harrowing incident involving a fire on a boat en route to Dubai, underscoring the importance of training and communication in crises. Her insights offer valuable tools for anyone facing their own personal storms.
