Brief description: Dawn Nickel, PhD is the founder of SHE RECOVERS(R) Foundation and a thought leader in the women's recovery sphere. She is an accomplished leader who holds a PhD in health care policy with extensive experience in researching and writing about women experiencing substance use disorders, mental health challenges, and intimate partner violence.

Nickel's tell-it-like-it-is wisdom has created a ripple effect, and you will often hear her quote "recovering from all the things" resonating throughout recovery spaces.
Review Quotes: "...Dawn Nickel speaks to all --no matter what you're recovering from, the length of time you've had sustained recovery, and for those who have had a million stops and starts. She gives all of us permission to be so incredibly gentle and compassionate with our process of unfolding and recovery, which I believe is the first essential step--self acceptance and self compassion. She offers a gentler and kinder view of our process. What if we were all unfolding into healthier aspects of ourselves on time, in perfect time and in the perfect way? What if we really knew that we were enough and worthy even in our darkest hours? That perspective is a game changer in our process of recovering and rediscovering who we are on a soul level. In reading...(this book)...my mind relaxed. My shoulders softened and my tummy surrendered. Dawn gives us a path to self acceptance. What a relief! What freedom!"--Ester Nicholson, founder and CEO of Soul Recovery, trauma healer, She Recovers coach, trainer, and presenter
