Episode 16: Deviate from Denial:  Erasing Stigma of Addiction with Sam Perez

Welcome to RecoveryPlusPodcast:  F*ck yesterday, Focus on Today! 

Why focus on today?  It’s all we really have….this very moment. 

Being present is powerful.  On my podcast, we will hear stories from a variety of folks who have moved through their past and who are truly trying to live in the present as authentically as possible. 

Guests on this podcast are folks in the field of addiction, those living in recovery and others who want to help bring obstacles to light to reduce stigma, address treatments, and who offer inspiration, in today’s world.  

Hi, I’m your host, Dr. Mei-Li Hennen.  I have over 15 years in THE addiction and mental health field.  I have a Master’s degree in Counseling, and a PhD in clinical psychology. 

I’m a certified transformational coach and my passion is working with people who strive to redefine their lives in extraordinary ways - inspired by meaning, purpose, and recovery.

More importantly, I have had the privilege to work with and support diverse youth and adults suffering from addiction, mental health issues, homelessness, and those who are underserved. 

If someone listening on this podcast changed their thinking about recovery or addiction that helped them MOVE THRU A ROUGH SPOT or even if I’ve pissed them off …then this podcast did its job.  This is a safe space to be curious, analytical, and adventurous to honor and celebrate people in recovery, one conversation at a time.
