I’m Mychael, and my journey hasn’t been an easy one—but it’s made me the person I am today. In 2023, a sudden panic attack shook my world and set off a battle with anxiety I didn’t see coming. I turned to alcohol to cope, but it only pulled me further from the life I wanted. Choosing myself meant leaving my marriage, checking into detox, and starting over in a new city where I didn’t know a soul. Living in a sober house taught me strength, patience, and the power of showing up for yourself every single day. Now as a Peer Recovery Coach Specialist with multiple certifications, and a psychology degree in progress, I help others facing addiction, anxiety, or toxic relationships find their footing again. I know what it’s like to feel lost—and I know how to find the way forward.
