Welcome to Rewrite the Narrative! Here, we share the stories of real people who have faced genuine struggles and found real hope and recovery. This is a safe space for learning about addiction and discovering how others have successfully overcome it. My goal is to depict the reality of addiction while highlighting the powerful message that recovery is possible.

Let’s get real.

I am a 35-year-old Nebraska native, now living in Kansas City after relocating from Los Angeles. My journey is far from the typical Midwest story, and I aim to use my experiences to make a powerful impact on those struggling with addiction and seeking a way out. I strive to illuminate the harsh realities of addiction and the transformative power of recovery.I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism and Mass Communications from the University of Nebraska and am currently pursuing my Master’s in New Media Journalism at Full Sail University. For the past eight years, I have worked in the treatment industry and am in recovery myself. I currently serve as the Director of Admissions at New Spirit Recovery in Los Angeles, CA. I am a member of the California Consortium of Addiction Programs and Professionals (CCAPP) and hold a RADT Certification.

Let’s get inspired.

I am a recovering alcoholic who found myself in a world I never imagined. I went from being a successful professional to drinking myself into total self-destruction, losing everything I had worked for. After numerous treatment centers, career setbacks, and cross-country moves, I finally found a solution that gave me hope and restored my life.

Since entering the world of recovery, I’ve encountered stories of both heartache and true inspiration. I aim to turn my past experiences and disappointments into something meaningful and impactful. I’m passionate about creating content that raises awareness and provides real information on the harsh realities of addiction. While the topic is known, the deep roots of addiction and its startling statistics are often overlooked. I came from a life where I knew nothing about addiction or alcoholism until my own experiences showed me the devastating impact of this disease on individuals and their loved ones.

Let’s get living.

Rewrite the Narrative is a platform dedicated to sharing authentic stories of individuals navigating addiction and finding recovery. My mission is to create a safe space where others can see they are not alone in their journey and that there is always hope for a new beginning.

Let’s rewrite some stories. Maybe yours too.

With love and gratitude,
