Imagine being the fastest swimmer in your age group, a straight 'A' student, and then losing it all to alcohol. That was Hilary Phelps' reality from the age of 14. For the next 15 years, she battled with drinking, feeling lost and hopeless. It wasn’t just about quitting alcohol; it was about changing her entire life. At 29, she took the brave step of checking herself into rehab.
Hilary kept her recovery a secret until she celebrated 15 years of sobriety in June 2022. It was then she realized that silence was no longer an option. She felt compelled to share her story, believing that 'we're only as sick as our secrets'. Now, Hilary is a speaker, addiction recovery advocate, writer, and holistic wellness coach. She’s on a mission to help other women find their voice and heal from whatever holds them back.
In this episode, Hilary opens up about her journey, aiming to break down the stigma surrounding addiction. Her story shows that addiction can affect anyone, no matter how successful they appear on the outside. By sharing her experiences, she hopes to encourage others to speak up and seek help. Tune in to hear how Hilary turned her pain into purpose and became a beacon of hope for those struggling in silence.
