Ep 102: Racquel Garcia | We're all trying to find our way back home
What you hear in this episode is the rawest and most emotional interview I’ve ever done. And it’s not even close.
When I first connected with Racquel Garcia, I was intrigued by her story of starting her organization, HardBeauty, where she and her team help people overcome and survive addiction, depression, homelessness, mental health issues, sexual assault, and domestic violence, among many other traumas.
Racquel is a Certified Addiction Counselor, Interventionist, and Recovery Coach, but she is far more than those titles could ever explain. Racquel’s story exposes the deep complexities within every person’s story, and yet, her dreams and desires for her own life are the same that so many of us share — that bottomless, all-consuming yearning to find a safe place to call home.
A word of warning, the topics we discuss include murder, drug use, sexual assault, and suicidal ideation, and the language gets a little intense at times.
As you listen to Racquel’s story, check in with yourself and ask yourself, “What would I have done?”
