My guest today is Dameshia, a powerful voice in recovery and someone I deeply admire. In this episode, we talk about what it really means to show up for your life when isolation feels safer, and how connection can be the thing that saves us, especially when it is genuine, messy, and honest. Dameshia opens up about the emotional extremes of early recovery, what it feels like to ask for help after years of self-reliance, and how simple acts like walking a dog or having a real conversation can become lifelines. This episode is about stepping into discomfort, learning how to sit in the truth, and finding your way out of suffering by being of service to others. We talk about the myths of control, the need for fairness, and the real role of community. Not as a fix, but as a path. Dameshia also shares how writing became a spiritual tool, and why she believes recovery is not about perfection. It is about persistence. If you are struggling, or love someone who is, this conversation reminds us that transformation is possible.
