Sandra was a nurse working in the emergency department until PTSD from the job forced her to leave. She went through a terrible divorce, had her house burnt down accidentally, and as her life fell apart she attempted suicide. She was prescribed medications and eventually developed an addiction to Xanax, using it to numb out for years. On this episode she shares her story of how she recovered, initially inspired by the Bible and Eminem lyrics.  Let's go slim shady:) She is now dedicated to helping others as an international speaker, resiliency coach, the founder of the non-profit Love and Light to the World, and published author. https://www.sandraleespeaks.com/ https://www.instagram.com/sandra_lee_rn/ https://www.instagram.com/addictivepodcast/
