She Recovers: Dawn Nickel's Journey from Workaholism to Recovery Advocate
“I really really passionately think that that's so important, because I think that's a big thing, like having fun and just you know whether it's a hike or coffee or meal, or the sharing circle, but with other women who get it because the conversations are so much deeper, we don't do small talk.”
Have you ever wondered how a small workshop can spark a global movement? In this episode of 'Soberful', Veronica Valli chats with Dawn Nickel, the co-founder of She Recovers. What started as a modest gathering in Victoria, Canada, has blossomed into a worldwide community supporting women through recovery from addiction, mental health issues, and more. Dawn opens up about her personal battles, including her struggle with workaholism and her fight against cancer.
These experiences pushed her to prioritize her recovery and co-found She Recovers. Veronica and Dawn delve into the importance of community in recovery, emphasizing how vital it is to connect with others who truly understand your journey. They also touch on the hurdles of running a non-profit and the need for inclusivity in recovery literature. Wrapping up the episode, they introduce She Recovers The Next Generation, an initiative aimed at supporting younger women in their recovery journeys.
If you're curious about how community and fun can play a role in sobriety, this episode is a must-listen.
