In this powerful episode, we sit down with an inspiring woman from Australia who shares her remarkable journey from a troubled youth to becoming a beacon of hope for others. Growing up in a dysfunctional home, she turned to heroin at the age of 16 and became entangled in criminal activities, leading to several years within the criminal justice system.
A pivotal "light bulb moment" sparked her decision to break free from the cycle of addiction and crime. Upon her release, she confronted the lingering challenges of post-traumatic stress and depression, seeking therapy and counseling to aid her recovery. Determined to transform her life, she is currently employed as a peer support coach to assist others facing similar struggles.
