  • EP 34 Losing Mum, Losing Herself — and Finding the Way Back: Rebekah’s Story
    May 15 2025

    In this powerful episode of Recovery Talks 24/7, we sit down with Rebekah — a woman whose journey through trauma, addiction, and toxic relationships will stay with you long after the episode ends.

    From a young age, Rebekah witnessed things no child should see, including her mother’s mental health breakdown. That experience left deep scars and created a void that was later filled with resentment, grief, and self-destruction. After losing her mum, she turned to party drugs to numb the pain and found herself caught in a cycle of abusive relationships, always returning to what felt familiar — even when it hurt.

    But Rebekah’s story doesn’t end in darkness.

    She reached a turning point where she said, “Enough is enough.” Now living in a clean recovery house and working a recovery programme, she’s breaking free from the chains of her past and stepping into a life of healing, growth, and hope.

    This is an honest, raw, and inspiring conversation about trauma, resilience, and the power of choosing recovery.

    Don’t miss this one.
