SHE RECOVERS Podcast
The SHE RECOVERS® Podcast is a series of intimate and candid conversations exploring the diverse and deeply personal world of recovery. Join co-founder Taryn Strong and other SHE RECOVERS team members and their guests for heartfelt, thought-provoking, and sometimes hilarious discussions where women share their experiences with mental health challenges, addiction, sobriety, trauma, grief, burnout, and more. Each conversation opens into collective wisdom and courageous vulnerability, shared by people whose lives are enriched by following their own unique pathways and patchworks of recovery. The atmosphere is inclusive and non-judgmental, with truth taking center stage. If you’re seeking deeper connection and empowerment on your recovery journey, you belong here.
SHE RECOVERS Foundation is both a non-profit public charity in Canada and the US and a global grassroots movement serving thousands of women and non-binary individuals in or seeking recovery from life challenges, including mental health issues, trauma, and substance use.
SHE RECOVERS is dedicated to redefining recovery, inspiring hope, ending stigma, and empowering women to increase their recovery capital, heal themselves, and help others to do the same.

***The SHE RECOVERS® Podcast is edited on the stolen and sacred lands of the Coast Salish Peoples—an area that is now colonially known as Salt Spring Island, Canada.***
