In this inspiring podcast, women who have traversed the path of addiction recovery share their authentic and uplifting stories of transformation. At Esther’s Place, our primary focus is to establish meaningful connections with each homeless woman, guiding them towards crucial resources and services as they navigate the road to self-sufficiency. We strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where women and their children facing challenging circumstances can find refuge, community, and the essentials for daily living including food, gas cards, showers, access to computers, phones, and clothing. New Creation Community Housing comprises two state-certified recovery homes in Snohomish County, offering comprehensive wrap-around support services to 20 women seeking to rebuild their lives after incarceration, rehabilitation, abusive situations, or homelessness. Our foundation rests on life skills classes, recovery groups, counseling, bible study options, and mentorship, providing a solid framework for our support services. Queen It’s a New Day, affectionately known as “Queen” by program participants, offers a regal experience to women in recovery. Each woman receives a transformative makeover, including haircuts, manicures, makeup, and professional clothing. Moreover, they have the invaluable opportunity to connect with former Queens who share their stories, igniting hope in those who need it most. New Creation Church extends faith-based support within a close-knit community setting, catering to the holistic needs of individuals. Through this podcast, we share the poignant journeys of women who embraced change and embarked on a path of renewal.
