You know when you just know it's the right time and there's no hiding or being scared?
Well, there's fear, but it's not, the fear doesn't outweigh the want.
We do, and I think it's naturally taken shape.
I didn't even realize when I was creating this company.
Recovery for me is this invisible thread that runs through all of us, and we have a very personalized experience with it individually, whether it's substance, whether it's alcohol, whether it's a breakup, a divorce, grieving a loved one, rupture, repair.
Or physical health as well, you know, it's this invisible thread and I feel as though there's a gap in the market where I wanted to design something where we're really embracing recovery, living recovery, loving it, doing it, sharing it.
And also in doing that, we reduce the stigma and the discrimination attached to any kind of help-seeking, whether it's physical, spiritual, mental, psychological, whatever it is.
I think that I just really want to keep trying to blast that because...
there's something, that connected thread between all of us, you know, and thank you for running that story as well because those stories, like I see in my DMs what impact that has on people and their darkest days.
And it's a collective, you know, thing that everyone's doing.
And I think it's really important.
I think that the Modern Recovery Group, it definitely kind of,
It resembles that art of living and way of living recovery freely.
So we're not bounded by all these constraints and judgment and stigma around it because we can all get well together or we can all grow together or we can all heal together, you know.
I don't think any part of
you know, the things that we're challenged with across the board, it just doesn't discriminate at all.
Like, I think there's this view of like someone that lives on a park bench drinking a VB long neck out of a paper bag.
And I'm like, that guy or that woman, that person's also sitting in icebergs, you know, like, and or she's like an actress on television or she's
quietly suffering somewhere because she doesn't know what's going on.
And that's the other thing, you know, I feel really grateful.
