In this deeply honest and emotional episode, I sit down with one of my closest friends, Desiree Quinones, for a powerful conversation about healing, growth, and finding purpose through pain.

Desiree shares her journey to sobriety—including her time in rehab, rebuilding trust with her family, and the moment she knew she needed to take her life back. Now, as the manager of a sober living home and a Reiki practitioner, she’s dedicated her life to helping others find their own path to recovery and peace.

We also talk about grief, as Desiree vulnerably opens up about losing her father as a young adult, and the lifelong impact of that loss.

This episode is a raw and transparent look at what it means to rebuild, and to find the strength to reclaim your life on your own terms.

I’m so incredibly honored to know her, this is Des.
