From Fashion to Cartel: Michelle's Road to Redemption

I always like to say that to someone who's gone out with time, I always mention that you know, I try and soften the blow by saying you are only changing your sobriety date.
Michelle was on top of the fashion world when an unexpected elevator encounter changed her life forever. She met a man who turned out to be a Colombian drug kingpin, and before she knew it, she was deeply entangled in the dangerous world of drug smuggling. In this gripping episode of 'Escaping Rock Bottom', host Brandon Lee dives into Michelle's dramatic transformation from a successful fashion designer to a cartel operative and, ultimately, to an advocate for addiction recovery.
Michelle opens up about her childhood trauma and how it fueled her descent into addiction. She recounts her darkest days, facing death as her kidney and liver began to fail. But what stands out is her incredible journey back from the brink. She talks about the spiritual awakening that played a crucial role in her recovery and the importance of learning from relapse.
Brandon and Michelle's conversation is raw and eye-opening, shedding light on the harsh realities of addiction and the powerful potential for redemption. This episode offers a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with addiction or supporting someone who is. Tune in to hear Michelle's story of survival, resilience, and transformation.
