Renee Schofield: Reframing Drug Addiction & Leading from the Heart

Renee is all heart! We met many years, through a women’s business organization called Count Me In, and I truly honor her story and her journey. She models what it means to serve from the heart.

From starting a Trauma Scene Decontamination division in her safety company (so that families dealing with trauma would have one less thing to worry about), to coaching individuals who are returning to the workplace after being in prison — her compassion for others is apparent.

In this episode, she vulnerably opens up about her daughter’s prior drug addiction (we are now celebrating her 14 years of sobriety!) Renee shares about what it meant, at the time, as the owner of safety company that specializes in drug screening and how she lived with the self-inflicted pain and guild of “I should have known better” and “that shouldn’t have happened to my daughter.”

She now advocates for addicts and is out to cause a disruption in the narrative of what society says it means when somebody becomes addicted to drugs.

We all have our own version of shame and guilt that we’re dealing with or have dealt with. Renee shares her tools and wisdom to help you transmute your story, like she did hers!
