Monica Madrid: Music, Fame, and the Road to Recovery

I personally never met him, but he was around for a contract, right, yeah, I didn't know it at the time I found out later. And um, next thing, I know I was on soul train and it took me some time to get up. I said, Eric, you know I can dance, right, why am I not on the center stage?
What happens when a passion for music collides with the dark world of addiction? In this episode of the Z-Man podcast, Todd Zalkins chats with Monica Madrid, a friend in long-term recovery who has chronicled her experiences in her book, 'The Next Quiet Voice'. Monica opens up about her journey from chasing fame to battling alcoholism and addiction. Her story is a powerful testament to the transformative power of sobriety and spiritual freedom.
One of the standout moments in their conversation is Monica's recounting of her time on Soul Train, a pivotal experience that both opened doors and led her down a challenging path. She candidly discusses how identifying with others' recovery stories has been crucial in maintaining her sobriety. This episode is not just about the struggle but also about the triumphs and the unexpected gifts that come with recovery.
It's a heartfelt and enlightening conversation that offers hope and insight for anyone touched by addiction.
