Facing the hurdles of leaving behind her old life, Pamela dives into how this move became a cornerstone for her growth and healing.
She recounts her experiences with Narcotics Anonymous, finding a new spiritual community, and the serendipity of a friend co-signing her apartment lease, which felt like a lifesaver at the time. Pamela didn't stop there. She also talks about transitioning from an unfulfilling job to becoming a program director at an outpatient treatment center for women in San Francisco.
