The Power of Stories: Celebrating Recovery Month with Caroline Beidler
The power of stories is that they are telling us that life adds up somehow, that life itself is like a story, and this grips us and fascinates us, because the feeling it gives us that if there is meaning in any life- in hamlets, in Marys, in christ's- then there is meaning also in our life.
What if the stories we share could change lives? In this heartfelt episode of 'Your Bright Recovery', host Caroline Beidler, MSW, dives into the significance of National Recovery Month. She recounts her own transformative experience of connecting with a recovery story through her friend and mentor, Florence (Flo) Hilliard. Caroline also chats with inspiring women advocates from across the U.S., including Lucy Battles, Tara Moreno, and Diane Scott.
These remarkable women open up about how sharing their recovery stories has shaped their lives and their work in the recovery field. They discuss overcoming stigma, the necessity of accessible housing for women in recovery, and the crucial role of mentorship and community support. This episode underscores the power of storytelling in breaking down barriers and fostering resilience. It’s a celebration of recovery, a tribute to shared experiences, and a reminder that every story matters.
