<![CDATA[A Day in the Life with Valencia]]>A Day in the Life with Valencia is a podcast that shares real stories from the world of recovery, addiction treatment, and the justice system. Each episode features conversations with people who are doing the work; recovery coaches, treatment court professionals, counselors, advocates, and individuals who have lived through addiction and come out the other side.

This podcast pulls back the curtain on what recovery actually looks like day to day. Not the polished version people put in brochures, but the real thing; struggles, victories, setbacks, growth, and the people who stand beside others as they rebuild their lives.

Host Valencia Dumas brings her own lived experience in recovery, her work with Treatment and Recovery Courts, and her background in trauma-informed education to the conversation. Guests share what their roles look like on the ground, why peer support matters, and how communities can better support people navigating addiction, trauma, and the justice system.

Some episodes focus on professionals working in the field; judges, attorneys, recovery coaches, counselors, and educators. Other episodes highlight alumni and participants who are willing to tell their stories of survival, accountability, and transformation.

At its heart, A Day in the Life with Valencia is about hope, honesty, and the power of people helping people. It’s about the small victories that never make the headlines, the systems that are trying to do better, and the individuals proving every day that change is possible.

If you want to understand recovery beyond the stereotypes, this is where those conversations happen.
