Marci Hopkins: Transforming Trauma into Triumph

If you're out there and you're struggling, first of all, you're not alone, that your past doesn't define you.
What does it take to turn a life marred by trauma and addiction into one of purpose and healing? In this episode of 'Get In The Herd', host John Shinholser welcomes Marci Hopkins, the author of 'Chaos To Clarity: Seeing The Signs and Breaking The Cycles'. Marci's journey is nothing short of extraordinary.
She opens up about her experiences with sexual abuse and alcoholism, and how she managed to find her way to sobriety, now celebrating seven years of being alcohol-free. Marci’s story is a testament to the power of resilience and the importance of sharing one's journey. She discusses the critical role of spirituality in her recovery and the profound impact substance use disorder has on families.
Through her book and her award-winning TV show, 'Wake Up With Marci', she aims to inspire and heal others facing similar battles. The conversation dives deep into practical tips for maintaining sobriety and shifting from a victim mentality to a survivor mindset. Marci and John also explore the need for innovative approaches in the addiction and recovery field, emphasizing the importance of community support and advocating for rehab programs in jails and prisons.
This episode is a beacon for anyone looking to find hope and strength in their recovery journey.
