She Surrenders - The Podcast

Sierra's Journey: Finding Joy in Recovery

Sherry Hoppen Season 6 Episode 64

Ever felt isolated in your struggles and wondered where to turn for hope and redemption? Join us on the She Surrenders podcast as we sit down with Sierra, a truly inspiring guest who has triumphed over addiction. Sierra shares her compelling story of moving from a place of shame and secrecy to finding liberation through faith-based recovery. Her candid revelations about living a double life and the challenges faced by Christian women in recovery offer a profound insight into the stigma around addiction within faith communities. Through her journey, Sierra reminds us that surrendering isn't about giving up—it's about gaining the freedom to live a life filled with purpose and redemption.

Sierra is a stay at home mom of 4 young children and active member of her local church. In September, 2024 she celebrated one year of sobriety from
alcohol - a physical sobriety and the beginning of seeking emotional sobriety. Only in sobriety, has she been able to start to see that clearly. However, her identity is not as an addict in recovery but as someone who has been (and is being!) rescued and loved by Jesus over and over again.
