From Crisis to Council: MJ Hockenberry's Journey of Growth and Service

When you invest in yourself, you shift so much easier into the next powerful version of yourself.
Ever thought about how far you can go when you invest in yourself? In this episode of 'Emerge. Evolve. Lead.', host Maureen Ross Gemme sits down with Mary Justine Hockenberry, better known as MJ, to explore this very idea. MJ, a mother and dedicated public servant, has been sober for 26 years and has faced her share of challenges along the way. But she didn't just survive; she thrived.
From overcoming a deep crisis early in her recovery to healing a brain injury through education, MJ's story is a testament to resilience and continuous growth. Now an elected town councilor in South Windsor, CT, MJ shares how her journey of self-investment led her to leadership roles in her community. She opens up about the importance of sticking with supportive people, embracing spirituality, and the transformative power of education.
This episode is a goldmine of wisdom for anyone in recovery looking to turn their struggles into strengths and step up as a leader. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that highlights the power of honesty, spirituality, and helping others.
