Everyone has stories of transformation. And some of them include moments, or years of intense adversity, a time when it felt like there was no hope. This podcast, "Breakfast of Choices," holds space for people to share their true, raw and unedited stories of overcoming extreme struggles, like addiction, mental illness, incarceration, domestic violence, suicide, emotional and physical abuse, toxic family structures, relationships, and more. Trauma comes in so many forms.

Every week, as a Business Development Rep for South Coast Behavioral Health, and a certified Peer Recovery Support Specialist, Certified Recovery/Life Transformation Coach/Mentor and your host, I will jump right into the lives of people who have faced these types of adversity and CHOSE to make choices to better themselves. We'll talk about everything they went through on their journey from Rock Bottom to Rock Solid.

Through hearing each guest's story of resilience, my hope is that we'll all be inspired to wake up every single day and make our own "Breakfast of Choices".  More importantly, that we'll understand we have the POWER to do it.

When someone shares their story, it can be unbelievably healing. And it can be just what someone else needs to hear at that exact moment to simply keep moving forward.  So I hope you can find "that one little thing that sticks," along with hope and encouragement to just keep taking it one day at a time.

And now let me be the first to welcome you to the "Breakfast of Choices" community, a non-judgemental zone where we learn from, lean on and celebrate one another. Because the opposite of addiction is "connection", and we are all in this together.


If you would like to tell your story, I sure would love to listen.  Please email me at Breakfastofchoices@gmail.com.

Respects,

Jo Summers.
