I learned to not close the door on my past, to not be ashamed of my past, and I also learned that I can take things that may have been defects or adversity in my past, and those things can be turned into strengths.
Imagine turning your deepest struggles into a beacon of hope for others. That's exactly what Maya B has done. In this episode of Real Recovery Talk, host Tom Conrad and co-host Ben sit down with Maya, a full-time employee at Rock Recovery Center, to discuss her remarkable journey from addiction to becoming a professional in the substance abuse field. Raised in an upper-middle-class family in Florida, Maya's life was shadowed by her parents' addiction and her father's untimely death.
Feeling out of place and never quite good enough, she turned to substances to fill the void. But Maya didn't let her past define her. Instead, she used it as fuel to help others navigate their own paths to recovery. Now a clinician, she shares how personal experience enhances her ability to connect with clients, offering them the understanding and support they need.
Maya also provides practical tips for those struggling with addiction, emphasizing the importance of surrendering, self-education, and mental health care. Her story is a powerful reminder that recovery is not only possible but can lead to a fulfilling career helping others. Tune in to hear Maya's inspiring tale and discover how she turned her life around.
