After trying out various recovery programs she found her home in Recovery Dharma. She threw herself into being of service and quickly became an active member in the community. A year and a half into sobriety, Natalya was elected to the Board of Directors of Recovery Dharma. Tune into the episode to learn more about Natalya and her recovery journey, including:

• The practice of telling folks reminders you need to hear too, and how this is a way to serve others while serving yourself.
• How recovery is a building a relationship with ourselves. What tools can we use to help us navigate the world?
• Natalya's full circle moment when she returned to the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, which she had studied as a child.
