Life has a way of showing us what we need to know when we need to know it. The trick is being present to life, being present to what is in front of you and being willing to see things from a different perspective.
Ever wondered what it takes to build a sanctuary for women battling addiction? Pamela Grimm knows firsthand. In this heartfelt episode of 'A Woman in Recovery', Pamela takes us through her journey of founding a transitional house for women in recovery. Starting with a modest townhouse that could accommodate four women, she quickly realized the need for more space and moved into a larger home for eight. But the road wasn't easy.
Balancing a full-time job while managing the house was a monumental task. Despite these hurdles, Pamela's commitment to providing a safe and clean environment never wavered. She even went as far as writing a grant proposal for a recovery program, only to face rejection due to her lack of experience. In the end, she made the tough decision to close the house, finding new homes for the women who lived there.
Along the way, she also grappled with the consequences of breaking a promise to a friend by allowing a man to run a program in the house. Through it all, Pamela reflects on the lessons learned about promises and empowerment. Tune in to hear her story of struggles, triumphs, and invaluable insights into creating a supportive space for women in recovery.
