236. When Tough Love Saves a Life: Abbey Fickley’s Journey


Listen Later

This week on the podcast, I’m joined by Abbey Fickley—a sober mom, public speaker, and advocate who shares her powerful journey through addiction, recovery, and motherhood. Abbey opens up about her first experience with heroin while in sober living, the emotional toll of postpartum anxiety, and the moment her father pressed felony charges that ultimately saved her life. We talk about rebuilding after relapse, setting boundaries, the pressures of being a “sober influencer” online, how she grew as an influencer and much more! Abbey also reflects on her decision to stop sharing her daughter Myla publicly, choosing to protect their peace over internet fame. Through vulnerability and honesty, Abbey sheds light on the complex road to healing and the strength it takes to reclaim your story. This conversation is raw, inspiring, and a must-listen for anyone navigating recovery or supporting a loved one who is.
