Addiction recovery expert: Natasha Silver Bell

From beauty pageants to international runways to waking up from a blackout to find her 13-month-old son eating Cheerios alone in his high chair – Natasha Silver Bell's story is one of complete self-destruction and resurrection. 

Today, she leads SilverBell Global, orchestrating some of the world's most complex recovery interventions with methods so unconventional they sometimes involve former Navy SEALs for high-stakes extractions. 

With seventeen years of sobriety and brutal honesty, Natasha proves that our lowest moments can become the foundation for our greatest purpose – and that recovery isn't selfish, it's essential.

Five lessons you'll learn:

Crisis doesn't happen overnight – it seduces you slowly until you're lighting a fuse you can't extinguish. Pay attention to the fear-based responses before the house catches fire.

The victim never recovers. You can acknowledge harm without staying stuck in it – moving through pain, not around it, is where healing happens.

Your external circumstances don't control your recovery. Real change happens from the inside out, regardless of who's around you or what they're doing.

The identified patient is often a symptom of family dysfunction. True recovery requires everyone willing to examine their part in toxic patterns.

Rock bottom can become your silver lining. Every failure teaches you something success never could.
