Heather Ormand (Episode 5)
Episode 5: Heather Ormand - From Personal Battles to Leading the Charge in Recovery
In this powerful and deeply personal episode of "Sharing is CARE-ing," host Fritz Deichert sits down with Heather Ormand, the CEO of Nexus Recovery Center.
Heather shares her incredible journey, opening up about her early struggles with alcohol beginning at age 14 while growing up as a first-generation American in Bentonville, Arkansas. She speaks with raw honesty about the pressures to fit in, her first suicide attempt at 15, and her family's decision to move to Argentina in an attempt to solve her problems.
The conversation follows Heather's path through a high-functioning career in New York City to the devastating heartbreak that ultimately led her to her first experience with sobriety. She doesn't shy away from the pain of relapse or the complex family dynamics that shaped her, including the strained but loving relationship with her brother.
Tune in to hear a story of resilience, the power of vulnerability, and how Heather transformed her own battles into a mission to help other women and their children find healing at Nexus.
