Healing Heridas: The Spanglish Podcast
Open and honest recovery with Deja Hartsfield, M.S
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode we meet Deja, a therapist, applied behavior analyst, and founder of Radical Sobriety, a supportive space created specifically for Black and brown people navigating recovery and sobriety.
Deja opens up about her own journey: getting sober, hitting rock bottom, and what it took to finally ask for help after years of holding it all together. She talks honestly about growing up as a sensitive Black girl in a predominantly white suburb, the role her environment played in her drinking.
Together, we explore what recovery looks like when it wasn't designed with us in mind. From the cultural normalization of alcohol in Latinx and Black communities, to the whiteness embedded in traditional AA spaces and to the exhaustion of showing up strong when you're silently falling apart.
At the heart of the conversation is something deeply personal: the inner child. Deja shares how reconnecting with little Deja and why she believes that connection is one of the most powerful tools in healing.
Whether you're sober-curious, in recovery, or just trying to feel less alone in what you're carrying...Este es para ti.
