So sometimes I needed to be shown that I love it. And I just remember, like there was like this moment where, like I knew, the po was coming to talk to me and I just said: fuck it, I'm just it.
Ever thought about how the words we use can shape our recovery journey? Omar Pinto brings on Jesse Heffernan, the National Outreach and Empowerment Coordinator for Faces and Voices in Recovery, to chat about just that. Jesse's role is all about mobilizing the 23 million Americans in recovery, advocating for their rights and resources. But what makes this episode special is how Jesse shares his personal story, clean since January 1st, 2001, and the impact of language on his journey.
Jesse and Omar dive into how changing the way we talk about recovery can break down stigmas and open doors for those seeking help. One memorable moment is when Jesse recalls a pivotal point in his recovery, highlighting the power of self-love and self-worth. This episode isn't just about words; it's about transforming lives through them. Perfect for anyone in recovery or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on advocacy and education in the recovery community.
