In this courageous and soul-stirring episode, I sit down with our beautiful Thrivalist member Maddie for a conversation that will move you to tears and leave you in awe of her strength.

Maddie’s journey hasn’t been easy. She’s experienced more pain than many do in a lifetime – and for years, she turned to alcohol as a way to cope. She speaks with raw vulnerability about her struggles with mental health, the hidden pain of self-harm, and how alcohol became a destructive cycle that left her feeling isolated and disconnected from herself.

But Maddie is no longer hiding.

She’s now doing the brave, messy, and powerful work of choosing sobriety – sometimes one day, sometimes one hour at a time. This conversation explores what it means to reclaim your life from rock bottom, to start showing up for yourself even when it feels impossibly hard, and to hold space for healing when the wounds run deep.

Through her honesty and openness, Maddie reminds us that sobriety isn’t about perfection – it’s about courage, compassion, and the small, daily acts of choosing yourself.

This is a story about survival. About tenderness. About learning to live again.

We are so grateful to Maddie for sharing her heart with us.
