This week on the podcast, we’re joined by Jamie Williams, a licensed clinical social worker, addiction counselor, and the founder of REshape. We have a really powerful and expansive conversation about what it really means to grow through the hard stuff.
Jamie shares parts of her personal story with substance use and mental health (and how those experiences shaped her mission), but this episode is really about how we can reshape our paths through creativity, curiosity, and intuition. Her perspective is so grounded and real. She reminds us the importance of listening to yourself and keep choosing alignment.
We talked about:
- Creative self-expression as a healing tool
- Recording videos while struggling and speaking to your future self
- Turning challenging experiences into meaningful work
- Empathy as a strength (not a weakness!)
- The ripple effect of personal growth on our communities
And if you or someone you know is struggling with substance use, please reach out. The SAMHSA National Helpline is free, confidential, and available 24/7 at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).
This episode is for anyone who’s been through something hard, is still in it, or wants to make a real impact without losing themselves along the way.
