Recovering Boldly with Quest Center

This week on the podcast, we sit down with Eloise Hoatlin: a mother in recovery, small business owner, and powerful advocate for accessible wellness spaces. From her journey as a client in Quest Center’s substance use treatment program to becoming a provider herself, Eloise shares candid reflections on healing, motherhood, and the importance of creating inclusive spaces—like her community-focused gym—for those often left out of the fitness world. It’s a story of full-circle growth, grounded in care and lived experience.
