Joann Kenyon grew up an Army brat to a family she thought gave her everything she ever wanted. It wasn’t until later that she realized that wasn’t true. She started drinking at 12 and found Meth at 14. That first night she used, she stayed up all night playing video games and felt the best she’d ever felt.

Things escalated quickly and suddenly she was a 70lb raver, selling drugs and peeing on everyone’s couch. She was a convicted felon by 18. In and out of treatment. Then back home, shooting ketamine and speed. Getting fired from drugs.

Then came recovery and young people’s meetings, but brought about other addictions outside of using. At the end of each road she would feel things narrowing and would realize once again what she was looking for wasn’t at the end of it.

Today she’s almost 20 years sober, living a healthy life and working to heal people who feel the same inner turmoil she faced for so long.

Tune in to learn about:

From Childhood to Chaos: Joann's Journey through Addiction: Learn about her harrowing journey from a troubled childhood to addiction, and how she found solace in substances, only to realize the emptiness they brought.

A Life Unraveled: Joann's Descent into Addiction: Discover the story of Joann's descent into addiction, including her early introduction to drugs, criminal convictions, and the turbulent cycle of recovery and relapse.

Recovery, Relapse, and Resilience: Joann's 20-Year Sobriety Story: Explore Joann's path to recovery, the challenges she faced along the way, and how she eventually found healing and purpose after nearly two decades of sobriety.

Transformation from Addiction to Empowerment: Joann shares her transformation from addiction and chaos to a fulfilling life of sobriety, helping others navigate the same struggles she once endured.
