Special Guest - Dawn from She Recovers

After surviving colon cancer in 2005, a breakdown from workaholism and a subsequent layoff from a job that she loved in 2011, it didn't take much soul-searching for Dawn Nickel to decide that what she really wanted to do for a living was help other women to recover.

Dawn has been in recovery from addiction to drugs and alcohol since 1989 and is well-qualified to work with women who want to recover their lives and pursue their passions. Building on her degrees in women's studies, women's history and a PhD in health care policy (all earned in recovery), Dawn is currently completing life coach training with Crossroads Recovery Coaching.

Dawn’s true passion is for the community that she has helped to create on her Facebook page, She Recovers and for other online communities like it. 

What started out as a daily meditation practice using social media coupled with a heartfelt belief in her own life's purpose has since turned into a business called She Recovers that, at the present time, offers yoga retreats and workshops for women in recovery (click on the link in this paragraph to learn more about the recovery retreats!).

Please listen to our conversation with Dawn where we talk all things recovery, including different pathways to recovery, recovery resources and the importance of a sober community online and/or offline.

Thank you, Dawn! We are so inspired by you and all you do.
