Daniela Luzi Tudor co-founded WEconnect Health Management in 2014 to help support those in recovery from substance use disorder (addiction). Daniela was born in Romania and lived in Germany and Portugal before coming to the United States. As a child, she always excelled academically and went on to University of Washington before starting another company, SoundStrokes Art, in Los Angeles. Daniela talks about what it was like living in an immigrant asylum before coming to America, her own struggles with substance abuse, and her experience winning a contest to get to go to Richard Branson’s island. She shares helpful insights on what substance abuse is, diagnosing it, and how recovery looks different for everyone. Daniela’s vulnerability, perseverance through her difficult times, and desire to have a lasting, positive impact is beyond inspirational and something everyone should hear.
