In this powerful and personal kickoff episode, Miss Mo opens up about her own transformation from surviving the storms of addiction, mental health struggles, and life’s traumas, to becoming a recognized leader in the peer recovery world.
With vulnerability and insight, she walks us through the lived experience that laid the foundation for her purpose, the certifications that sharpened her skills, and the calling that led her to become a Master Peer Leader, as recognized by MHACBO.
We explore what leadership looks like in recovery spaces, especially when it’s built not on titles, but on truth. Miss Mo breaks down the balance between being a peer and a professional, the emotional labor of walking with others in their healing, and how cultural relevance and community have shaped her entire path.
