What does recovery really mean?
Like the Japanese art of Kintsugi, recovery does not hide the cracks. It honors them—because the places where we break can become the places where we grow.
In this episode of the Transformative Paths Podcast, Wanda Carroll speaks with Survival Nick, a Recovery Wellness Consultant and Recovery Coach Trainer who believes that recovery has multiple pathways.
Nick shares insights from both lived experience and professional work in the recovery field, exploring why intention matters when helping others, how labels can sometimes limit growth, and why being able to say “I don’t know” is an important part of supporting people.
This conversation also explores purpose, self-care, and the idea that recovery is what you make it.
Because as Nick reminds us:
“Survival is more than just staying alive.”
