Her lived experience has given her a unique understanding of the courage, perseverance, accountability, support, and hope that can be part of the recovery journey.
Lisa believes that recovery is about more than abstinence—it is about rebuilding one’s life, rediscovering purpose, strengthening relationships, developing healthier ways of living, and recognizing that transformation remains possible throughout every stage of life.
