Warning: There is reference to drug use and sexual abuse in this story of recovery.

Welcome back to The Secret Keepers Podcast. In this powerful episode, I’m joined by my friend and fellow transformation warrior, Diana Flowe, a nurse, a mama, a grandmother, and a woman who has walked through the fire of addiction and come out the other side with 29 years of sobriety and a mission to serve.

Diana shares the deeply personal story of her journey from childhood trauma, insecurity, and feeling unloved, to addiction, suicide attempts, and ultimately, radical self-love and healing. Her transformation didn’t come easy..it came with hard work, mentorship, faith, and a willingness to rewrite the story she had always believed about herself.

We talk about:

• Growing up feeling unseen, unloved, and disconnected

• How addiction took root and what it took to truly get clean

• The role of faith, journaling, and reprogramming self-beliefs

• Learning to love herself, even when no one else showed her how

• Becoming a nurse, a mentor, and a living example that healing is possible

• The power of having one person who believes in you

• How to help others reclaim their worth when they feel too far gone

Diana’s golden nugget?
"Love yourself, and find someone who loves you unconditionally until you can believe it for yourself."

Her story is raw, real, and exactly what someone out there needs to hear today.

If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or self-worth, this episode is a lifeline of hope, truth, and gentle encouragement.
