Maureen joined Sound Pathways with the aim of assisting individuals and bolstering our community’s efforts to achieve lasting recovery success. “I believe that everyone deserves an opportunity to make a fresh start, and we should offer support whenever someone reaches out for help.” “Having a profound sense of compassion for both people and animals, I believe in the importance of showing empathy towards others and understanding the challenges they face. My own experiences with trauma and hardship have taught me the value of compassion, and I bring this perspective to my work at Sound Pathways.” “Drawing on my own journey, I acknowledge the challenges of recovery but also the potential for profound growth and healing. Reflecting on my life, I am inspired by the opportunity to now help others realize that recovery and a better life are possible for them too.” Angela connects deeply with Sound Pathways’ core values—values that have shaped her own recovery journey and continues to guide her in living a life of mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness.
