Join Charlotte and Robyn as they welcome De from Advocates for Recovery Colorado (AFRC) for an inspiring episode of Mastery Vibes: Peer Support Unleashed. D shares their transformative journey, describing their switch from a career in the clinical world to the rewarding field of peer support. D reveals how a new role at AFRC and a chance peer support training led by Robyn and Charlotte sparked a passion that not only changed their professional path but also enriched their approach to parenting their child with autism. Discover how embracing lived experience and the power of connection can lead to unexpected fulfillment and revolutionize the way we support each other.


Meet De:

"Hi I’m Dë Waldron (or if you’re cool enough to know, Diana Prince, aka Wonder Woman in work boots). I am a parent, scholar, and Certified Peer & Family Specialist who turned addiction into a messy public transformation of resilience. I recover out loud, so others don't die in silence. My work lives at the intersections of recovery, education, and building unique infrastructure in peer support communities. I show up to embody that lived experience isn’t a liability, it’s leadership. I’ve walked through the fire and now light torches for others who are finding their own voice. Everything I do, from classrooms to peer support professional networks, is about showing that recovery isn’t about going back; it’s about becoming."
