Fragmented to Whole: Life Lessons from 12 Step Recovery

Send us a text

In this week’s episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m talking with my long-time recovery friend, Renee N., and her story is absolutely incredible. She grew up in chaos — emotional abuse, addiction, violence, and zero safety — and spent decades dissociated and trying to survive.

Recovery changed everything.

Renee shares how reading the 14 Traits of an adult child made her feel seen for the first time, how meetings and therapy helped her start telling the truth, and how she slowly found enough internal safety to live in her authentic identity. We talk about people-pleasing, overworking, childhood roles, and the shock of finally experiencing serenity when you’ve lived your whole life in chaos.

Now she’s present. She’s grounded. She’s no longer apologizing her way through the day.
And she’s living a life she truly never thought was possible as a transgener woman.

This conversation is full of honesty, hope, and the kind of transformation that only happens when you stop surviving and start healing.

Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive practical tools for living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.
