Hi everyone, I'm Anouska 👋

After battling addiction and coming through into recovery, I faced major health scares that nearly took my life. Today I'm here, stronger than ever, and launching **Resilience Rising** – a podcast dedicated to addiction recovery, mental health, and resilience.

I want to spread awareness, help people speak openly about addiction, and share practical techniques for dealing with whatever curveballs life throws at you. If you're in recovery, struggling with mental health, or supporting someone who is – this is for you.

In this intro episode, I share my story and why I'm so passionate about helping others thrive.
