In this episode of The Recovered Life Show, Damon Frank sits down with recovery coach Michelle Rowley to talk about something that affects far more people in recovery than we like to admit—co-occurring disorders.

Michelle opens up about her own experience and offers a compassionate yet real look at what it takes to truly heal when addiction and mental health challenges collide. Denial is strong—but so is the transformation that happens when we embrace the full picture.

Whether you’re navigating a diagnosis, helping someone who is, or just starting to realize there might be more going on—this conversation is the beginning of clarity.
