In this special episode, Shell is joined by Ruth Tansey, team member at the Essex Recovery Foundation, one of the services she credits with her amazing recovery.

Ruth shares her extraordinary journey from a childhood marked by identity struggles and domestic violence, to years lost in addiction, abusive relationships, and life on the streets of London. Now over three years sober, she reflects on how recovery has not only transformed her own life, but given her the opportunity to support others on their path to healing.

Together, they explore:

• The human realities of homelessness and addiction
• How trauma shapes our coping mechanisms and how to break the cycle
• Why community is essential for lasting recovery
• What life in early sobriety is really like
• How purpose and connection replace chaos and isolation

Whether you’re in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about what a vibrant recovery community looks like in action, this episode is proof that transformation is possible.
