What I love most about what we believe here at Mcshen is: we believe in the peer-to-peer approach.
Ever wondered what it’s like for women navigating the path to sobriety? In this episode of 'Get in the Herd', hosts Monique Runge and Mandie Brando are joined by a special guest to tackle the unique hurdles women face in recovery. The trio dives into the peer-to-peer approach championed by the McShin Foundation, emphasizing the power of community and support systems in the journey to sobriety.
They candidly discuss the added layers of difficulty women often encounter, such as societal sexualization and the glaring lack of resources for pregnant women and mothers in recovery. These conversations reveal the stark differences in how men and women are treated within society and treatment programs. The hosts and guest share personal stories of overcoming self-doubt and insecurities, underscoring the vital role of self-acceptance and authenticity in healing.
They call for more advocacy and resources to support women on this challenging path. This episode is a heartfelt plea for understanding and change, offering both inspiration and practical insights for anyone touched by addiction.
