Back from broken is a show about how we're all broken sometimes and how we need help from time to time.
Imagine hitting rock bottom and finding the strength to climb back up, not just for yourself but to help others too. That's exactly what Dana Smith did. In this episode of 'Back from Broken', host Vic Vela sits down with Dana to discuss her incredible journey from addiction to becoming a beacon of hope for others in recovery. Dana's story is a rollercoaster of struggle, resilience, and ultimate triumph.
After battling substance abuse for years, she faced a life-altering accident that landed her in jail. It was there, in the most unlikely of places, that Dana began to rebuild her life. She created her own structure by training for a marathon in the prison yard, finding support among fellow inmates who were also on the path to recovery. Upon her release, Dana moved to Denver and found a new calling in fitness.
She now works at a gym dedicated to helping people in recovery, guiding them to reach their potential through sobriety and physical health. Her story is a powerful reminder that even in our darkest moments, there's a way out and a way forward. Whether you're on your own journey to recovery or supporting someone who is, Dana's experience offers valuable insights and hope.
Tune in to hear how she turned her life around and found purpose in helping others do the same.
