The Southern Alberta Regional Recovery Conference is shaping up to be our best one yet, and Jill Drader’s recent podcast with our team at fdtlpodcast is a great indicator of what’s in store.

In this episode of From Darkness to Life, Poncho speaks with transformation strategist and keynote speaker Jill Drader about the power of embracing change, intuition, and community in personal recovery. Jill shares her own journey through trauma and addiction, and how these experiences led to the development of her Knowings methodology.

Throughout the conversation, Jill emphasizes the importance of mental health support, self-forgiveness, and learning to trust one's intuition. She challenges the idea that recovery follows a single, linear path, advocating instead for a personalized and multifaceted approach that honours individual experience.

The episode explores the role of supportive communities, as well as the impact of nature and spirituality in healing and long-term resilience.

These same themes will be explored more deeply when Jill Drader joins SARRCon (Southern Alberta Regional Recovery Conference) as a keynote speaker, where she will lead an immersive workshop grounded in Knowings: Where Logic and Intuition Meet. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage directly with the tools and insights

Jill discusses in this episode, translating personal awareness into meaningful leadership and community action.

Listen now, and join us at SARRCon to continue the conversation.
