Hello, my relatives and companions on this healing journey! As an Indigenous recovery warrior deeply rooted in our shared experiences, I’ve felt the weight of unhealed leadership within our own circles. A few years ago, I reached a breaking point with the lateral violence in our communities—gossip, backstabbing, shunning, and sabotage—that kept us from rising together.Back then, my spirit was tired, weighed down by not just my battles with substance use but also by the toxic environments that perpetuated cycles of pain instead of healing. My mind was clouded with excuses—I believed I didn’t have time, wasn’t good enough, and couldn’t achieve what others did. But enough was enough.I began to shift my mindset to envision a life where I was not just surviving but thriving. I took small, intentional steps toward recovery and sought wisdom from those who had walked the path before me. I asked for guidance from elders and healers who embodied the strength and peace I yearned for.Today, I stand before you in a place of strength and clarity. I’ve learned that the path to healing is not only shorter but also filled with support when you have mentors and a community by your side. Our journey together in this healing is a testament to the power of unity and shared purpose.Now, I invite you to join me. If you’re ready to leave behind the cycles of violence and step into a circle of healing, know that I believe in you. I am here to walk with you, to guide you, and to celebrate each step you take towards reclaiming your power.Join our Recovery Warriors community or download our free Indigenous self-care guide by clicking on the images.
