In this powerful episode, we sit down with Kenzie, who shares her incredible journey from addiction and despair to hope and recovery. Almost 6 years clean, Kenzie reflects on her tumultuous past—growing up in a household of addiction, starting her own battle with substances at just nine years old, and enduring cycles of abuse, incarceration, and homelessness.

Kenzie doesn’t just focus on the struggles but shares how hitting rock bottom became the catalyst for transformation. From finding herself behind a dumpster to discovering hope in a rehab program, Kenzie talks about the miracle of connection through recovery meetings, the importance of service work, and the role of her higher power in reshaping her life.

This episode is a raw and honest look at the strength of the human spirit, the importance of community, and the miracles that happen when we choose recovery. Whether you’re in recovery, supporting a loved one, or seeking inspiration, Kenzie’s story is a testament to the fact that change is possible for anyone willing to put in the work.

Tune in and hear how Kenzie proves that recovery works if you work it. 🎙️
