Dawn Nickel – or “Mama Dawn” as she is affectionately known in the women’s recovery space, is passionate about redefining recovery, ending the shame and stigma around it, and ensuring that women are supported to find and follow individualized pathways and patchworks of recovery. A survivor of intimate partner violence and cancer and with over 35 years of recovery from substance use, Nickel currently identifies as being in active recovery from workaholism and the patriarchy. She and her daughter Taryn Strong (also in recovery from substance use and various life challenges) “accidentally” started a worldwide women’s recovery movement called She Recovers when they started a Facebook page of that name in 2011. Since then, literally hundreds of thousands of women have been introduced to the She Recovers philosophy, approach and community. Nickel’s firm belief that recovery is a daily practice, coupled with her commitment to paying her recovery forward, inspired her to write this book. When she isn’t writing, working as a healthcare and social policy consultant, or helping to grow the movement she started, Dawn can be found hanging out at home with her partner and family, walking or hiking with She Recovers’ friends, doing the odd 1000-piece puzzle, or reading. Her life goals include “graduating” therapy at some point, writing more books and a screenplay, completing her travel bucket list, and spending quality time with family, especially her precious grandchildren. Nickel understands that choosing to start her recovery journey at age 27 was only the beginning; she continues to choose and practice it each and every day.
