Ep 03 | Turning Pain into Purpose - Trauma, Addiction, Motherhood & the Power of Healing

When your situation becomes intolerable, change isn’t optional, it’s the only way forward.

In this powerful episode, Abby Teixeira, woman-centered trauma recovery coach, author, speaker and founder of the Reclaim & Rise movement - shares how she turned years of addiction, shame and generational pain into a legacy of healing and hope.

We talk about what it means to be a cycle-breaker, how colonisation shapes identity and self-worth, the intersection of addiction and trauma and how community, culture and motherhood became her medicine.

If you’ve ever whispered “there has to be more than this,” this conversation is proof that a different life is possible.
