Nancy Richardson

Hey Y'all! Folks call me Fancy, or FancyNancy, I am bold, unique, passionate, quirky, divergent, weird, and just plain different! Certified as a Recovery Peer Support Specialist since March 2020- my past showed me purpose; then I turned pain into passion- now ready to support others in their journey. *Recovery is not just from a substance- *Recovery is whatever you want to overcome- including mental and physical health struggles and much more! I'm here for it all. <3 ▪︎ I am also a midwestern country gal who loves the outdoors, animals, gardening, flowers- cooking too! Tausendsassa: one word to describe myself and skill sets all allows me to support others in many areas in recovery- Adulting is hard, adulting in recovery is even harder! I hope to meet & support you on your recovery journey soon!

What I've Been Through Myself
Verified

Addiction and Recovery from many substances, Mental Health disorders including neurodivergent wirh ADHD, OCD, & BPD; Assaulted by an ex, chronic illness- RA, Fibromyalgia, Hypermobility. recently spent time in the hospital then a nursing home/ Rehabilitation facility after temporary paralysis of my lower half left me unable to walk due to an infection in my spine. So I confidently say I've been thru some crap, and use it for my story in a positive way. Always focus on the positive ✨️

What I Hope to Share

My Big, Big Goal: Save all the lives! - I know, I know, I hear it all the time- "You can't save everyone" but my reply is "I can try!" -way too many beautiful souls lost to a preventable death of a fatal overdose- Nothing changes if Nothing changes; I am part of change, I am proof Recovery is possible. I want to make waves for more change- with big plans and ideas for youth prevention, intervention, and education in a way that is heard is my goal. I would love to publish a peer created recovery curriculum along with other big ideas I have. And there is always more knowledge to gain everyday. I am here for it- with all the big dreams, I shoot for the moon. Even if I land amongst the stars-- it will all be worth it ✨️ ▪︎~ Availability is based on my new & current full-time employment hours and back to school for my children while I navigate and learn myself. Please reach out and we could connect a time that better works! I am Eastern Time with New York and up fairly early compared to some folks I know , I am a message away and ready to support you! 🫶

What Brought Me to ShareWell

Honesty is my policy- losing my job as a Peer, becoming unemployed and hunting for employment brought me here! Plus, I am here to reach even more folks in need of support. Lived experiences taught me the importance of someone being there to support. I live in a rural area and want to help more people in the world.
