'Dance Like There's No Tomorrow' with Payton Kennedy of SHE RECOVERS

Send us a text

#48:  When Payton Kennedy (she/her) joined the SHE RECOVERS community, she found a space of acceptance, where women feel less alone in recovery.  She found a community that accepts the differences in each person’s unique path, and recognizes the connective threads of recovery and healing.  We discuss these topics and more: 

• How Payton revived her love of dancing and movement- activities she didn’t know if she could do in sobriety- and how when she “danced like there was no tomorrow” she found cathartic expression and deeper connection, 
• Her continuous growth and understanding of recovery organizations: learning that many pathways to recovery have privilege attached, 
• The importance of making recovery more inclusive, 
• The many ways her recovery journey has shifted over the years through exploration of what she loves (and what she doesn’t!)… mirroring the ways we allow ourselves to change and grow in life, 
• The courage it takes to reach out your hand and say “please help me.”   
• Payton’s loving reassurance that someone will be there to take your hand in recovery, 
• The exciting news that SHE RECOVERS 2023 is coming to Chicago September 29-October1, to highlight and celebrate strength, diversity, inclusion, and innovation…by women for women and non-binary individuals who identify with women’s communities.  Check the link below to get your tickets! 

Payton Kennedy is the Creator & Trainer of SHE RECOVERS Dance, a Life & Recovery Coach, Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher and Dance Facilitator, and an Events Lead for SHE RECOVERS Foundation.
