Wake Up with Marci

Your past doesn’t define you—but healing requires truth. 🕊️✨
In this powerful episode of Wake Up with Marci, Dina LaFountaine shares her journey from addiction to sobriety—and how she turned her pain into purpose, now helping others through her work at Mountainside Treatment Center.
Dina is also a featured expert in Marci’s upcoming book, Wake Up, You’re Not Broken, and in this conversation, she brings real, honest insight into what recovery actually looks like—beyond the surface.
Together, we talk about sobriety, healing, rebuilding self-worth, and the different paths available in recovery. Dina also explains Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)—what it is, how it supports some people in recovery, and why removing stigma around it matters. While MAT was not part of her personal journey, her perspective offers clarity and compassion for those exploring their options.
This is a conversation about real healing, real choices, and real transformation.
