Ever felt like you're juggling too many struggles at once? Dawn Nickel knows the feeling all too well. In this episode, she sits down with host William C. Moyers to share her journey from battling alcohol and cocaine addiction to overcoming anxiety, marijuana use, and even workaholism. As the co-founder of the global SHE RECOVERS movement, Dawn has a unique perspective on what it means to truly heal.
Her story is more than just a list of challenges; it's a testament to the resilience and strength found in community support and mindfulness. Dawn discusses the inspiration behind her daily meditation book, 'She Recovers Every Day', which she lovingly refers to as her 'love letter to recovery'. This book isn't just for those dealing with substance use; it's for anyone navigating the rough waters of life, offering a daily dose of encouragement and wisdom.
Dawn's approach is all about finding your own path to recovery, emphasizing that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Throughout the episode, you'll hear about the importance of reaching out for support and the power of community in the recovery process. Dawn's message is clear: you don't have to go through this alone. Whether you're struggling with addiction, anxiety, or any other challenge, this conversation offers hope and practical advice for finding your way to a healthier, happier life.
