Grounded, Compassionate Peer Support and Guidance.

Broad lived experience & passionate about helping. CPSS.

Navigating trauma & mental health as a parent.

Hi! I am 62 years old—a survivor, an overcomer, and a woman of faith who has lived through chronic health challenges, PTSD, grief, anxiety, and trauma. I have survived mental and physical trauma, including religious trauma, dysfunctional family dynamics, narcissistic behaviors, gaslighting, abandonment, rejection, and power and control. As the youngest of five children, these experiences affected how I saw myself for many years. Through separation, healing, faith, and self-discovery, I began to find freedom. I discovered my identity, embraced my positive qualities, and learned that I am more than what happened to me. Throughout my life, I have experienced tremendous grief. I lost a sibling in 1989, my father in 2015, my mother in 2022, and other loved ones along the way. Each loss became part of my journey and helped shape the woman I am today. I am the mother of one son and grandmother of three beautiful grandchildren. My family has faced challenges, including ADHD, PTSD, and childhood seizures, yet I also see incredible gifts, talents, strength, and potential beyond measure. From 2014 until June 2022, I was my mother's caregiver as she lived with dementia. It was one of the hardest challenges of my life. It brought me to my knees and taught me to move beyond codependency and place my complete trust in God. It taught me humility and helped me discover purpose in my pain. Although my mother had four living children, I often felt I stood alone. Others may have considered me the "black sheep," but I came to believe God had chosen and set me apart for something greater. My mother was one of my greatest influences and mentors, and I loved her dearly. My son and I are also walking through our healing journey—recovering from childhood trauma, rebuilding our relationship, and seeking spiritual healing. After 13 years of estrangement, we are reconnecting and learning how to bond again. I'm not where I want to be, but thank God, I'm not where I used to be. In 2012, substance use (prescribed medication) and an eating disorder became ways of trying to escape a painful world. But God said, "You shall live and not die." And I am still here—to use my lived experience to encourage others and share how I survived, healed, and overcame. I am an expressive writer. Poetry and spoken words allow me to release the bad, the good, and the ugly. Paper does not judge. Writing advocates and gives a voice to the voiceless. The pen 🖊 spills what our lips cannot speak—our truth. My motto is: "Knowledge Brings Clarity, and Clarity Brings Power." Professionally, I am a faith-based Certified Peer Specialist (CRSS), Dementia Facilitator, and Resource Specialist supporting women and children impacted by domestic violence. My lived experiences have shaped my passion for advocacy, education, peer support, and helping others find resources, hope, and a voice. Through everything I have endured, I have learned that every attack does not deserve a reaction. I have learned when to be silent, when to speak, and—most importantly—when to walk away. In 2025, I became a curse breaker. Through the wisdom of God and clarity received from a deeply personal experience with Him, I began breaking down layers of generational pain and trauma. My healing became about more than me. It became about what I would pass down to my son, grandchildren, and generations to come. Instead of passing down the pain of the past, I choose to pass down the greatest gift God has given us—the gift of LOVE and how to acknowledge a LIE vs the TRUTH. My journey is about healing the inner child, breaking down every layer, and gaining clarity for mental health wellness, spiritual healing, and freedom. I am breaking what no longer needs to continue. I am healing what was once left wounded. I am replacing generational pain with generational love. My global brand is Rebirth4Love—representing survival, transformation, healing, purpose, faith, generational change, unconditional love, and the power to begin again. My message to the world is: OUR PAST DOES NOT DEFINE OUR DESTINY! There is life after trauma, purpose after pain, love after rejection, freedom after breaking generational cycles, and always an opportunity for rebirth.

Peer Specialist/Coach in mental health & recovery

Real conversation for the ever-growing human experience

Hi! I'm Windy, a bi-racial military brat - born in Asia and raised for 17 years without roots stationed across the US and overseas. I am also a survivor of childhood sexual trauma, managing co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders. I have traced my mental health and substance abuse issues to childhood trauma and toxic family of origin. I know, it's a lot to juggle, but I bet my story sounds familiar, right? I have attended years of in-person therapy and Intensive Outpatient Groups for Major Depression, Anxiety, PTSD and poly-substance abuse. (For the record, if anyone tries to take my caffeine addiction away - that's a hard NO!) At one point, I was incarcerated as a result of my substance abuse and found myself trying to figure out how to kill myself in jail. I survived by getting intensive treatment, researching alternative/complementary therapies to medication and finding support groups to share my story. I am learning to love myself, discover my true identity and find some moments of peace and laughter along the way. If there is anything I can do to support and prevent another person from slipping into a dark hole contemplating suicide...I've been there. It's why I got certified as a PRSS. Let's talk, let's try to laugh and let's heal together. Ps- I LOVE knitting (it helped me quit smoking), I HATE chores (my house is a mess) AND I'm trying REALLY hard to stop swearing (as much) this year

Grounded support for real life and recovery.

I was called to help others because I realize firsthand, the importance of a Supportive Community and Network through the healing and recovery process is essential to complete wellness.

I put my family through a lot of pain with my choices, and during my incarceration I didn’t fully understand the emotional burden they carried. They never received support for their fear, confusion, or the stigma they faced. Now, I’m committed to using my lived experience to help families who are going through what mine went through. I now understand both sides — the person inside and the family outside — and I want to create a space where families feel seen, supported, and no longer alone.

Providing support & encouragement for those in recovery.

I am passionate about advocating for victims of trauma, domestic violence, strangulation, brain injury, and recovery. As a survivor, I bring my lived experiences to the changes I want to see in the world. When I started my recovery journey, I wish peer support had been an option. I am so grateful it is now. It is an honor to be a part of it. On the personal/hobby side, I enjoy cooking, baking, gardening, and spending time with my family. Pinterest is my happy place! One day, I'll get around to making all of the recipes I've pinned, and my yard will be a showstopper with my DIY projects.

Self & Relationship Coach. PSS & QMHA-R.

I was born and raised in Phoenix. I have gone through many of my own life changing experiences from substance use, grief/loss, and family/parenting/relationship challenges. I pride myself on being able to see the bigger picture and trying to find balance in a world of chaos.

Hi there! My name is Amy, and I am a peer, recovery coach, Reiki master and a certified cuddlist. in CT. I have found my purpose in creating positive, trusting, and supportive relationships with individuals seeking guidance as they navigate addictive behaviors, difficult emotions, trauma, and life challenges. My approach centers on self management, personal empowerment and hope. My own journey is lived experience with childhood trauma, ptsd, mental health conditions, substance use, domestic violence and toxic relationships.

As a person in long term recovery from addiction and a fellow seeker of more awareness and true reality, I have found my way here to all of you. I am currently retired from being a full time event planner and back in the Peer Support role, where I believe I belong! I have struggled and worked through experience with toxic relationships, generalized anxiety, strained family relationships, and body image. If these things resonate with you and you want to talk it out, I am your girl. I look forward to building something real with you!

Peer Support offered with Love since 2012.

I’m Michelle Haughton, a trauma-informed life coach, author, and community builder. My story begins with the tragic loss of my father before I turned one. Growing up with that pain shaped my understanding of grief and unprocessed trauma, but it also led me to discover the power of healing. Through my own journey, I’ve learned that healing isn’t about forgetting the past — it’s about transforming it into strength and purpose. Now, I help others release their pain, process their trauma, and create lives filled with peace, clarity, and abundance.

Hi, I’m Bre. I am a certified Peer and Family Support Specialist. I also have some training as a chronic pain support specialist. I have bipolar type 1 with psychotic features, PTSD, and anxiety. I haven’t had mania or psychosis in over 3 years now and have been managing my mental illnesses really well. I am in recovery from substance use for about 10 years now. I also have chronic pain daily that I struggle with, but I have come to a more manageable place with that as well. For fun I love to do partner dancing and to make artwork. I enjoy showing others they are loved and matter.
