The key to my success in recovery, I think, first it's just the grace of God and actions. I've taken the actions that have been suggested.
Imagine losing everything—your career, your marriage, and even your children—only to claw your way back to a life filled with purpose and achievement. That’s the incredible journey Janine Gutstein shares on this episode of 'Emerge. Evolve. Lead.' Hosted by Maureen Ross Gemme, Janine's story is a rollercoaster of highs and lows that will leave you feeling inspired and hopeful.
Sober since May 19, 2007, Janine opens up about her early struggles with addiction, compounded by a high-profile lifestyle and a tumultuous marriage to a TV chef. When her husband’s career crumbled due to addiction, Janine knew she had to make a hard choice for her own sobriety, even if it meant ending her marriage. Her world fell apart when her husband took their children and left her, but it was this rock-bottom moment that sparked a miraculous transformation.
Janine didn't just get sober; she rebuilt her life from the ground up. With the help of Maureen's Recovery@Work program, she found a new job and returned to nursing school, determined to make a bigger impact. Today, she’s not only a successful nursing student but also a beacon of resilience and leadership. Throughout the interview, Janine emphasizes the importance of action and resilience, shedding light on how her personality traits influence her leadership style.
Her story serves as a powerful reminder that even in our darkest moments, there’s always a path to recovery and success. If you’re looking for a story that combines raw honesty with an uplifting message, this episode is for you. Tune in to hear Janine’s journey from riches to rags to triumph, and discover how you too can transform your life through determination and support.
