I think that at first my characters were really just like me, you know, but that as I went along and I would just say the Raven character is in, in the lower power is much, much more me. I gave her my backstory. Oh, wow. Yeah. Like I dug them out.
What does it take to bounce back from the brink of destruction? In this compelling episode, Amy Liz Harrison sits down with Michele W. Miller, an attorney and bestselling author who has lived through the extremes of addiction and incarceration. Michele's story isn't just about survival; it's about thriving against all odds. At 22, she was a fresh NYU Law School graduate, but by 25, she was staring down a 15-to-life sentence for drug possession under New York's Rockefeller Law.
Despite narrowly avoiding prison, she faced the crushing blow of disbarment due to a felony conviction. Yet, Michele's journey didn't end there. She clawed her way back, regaining her law license and making a name for herself as NYC's chief government ethics prosecutor. Today, she's the General Counsel for The Fortune Society, helping others rebuild their lives after incarceration. Michele's candid reflections on her path to sobriety, personal growth, and advocacy are both moving and inspiring.
Whether you're battling addiction or supporting someone who is, Michele's story offers a beacon of hope and a testament to the power of resilience.
