Some people enter recovery because life falls apart.
For Jeanne Foot, recovery began long before she ever picked up a substance — in the shadows of trauma, family addiction, and emotional wounds no child should have to carry.

In this powerful conversation, Jeanne shares how losing her sister at a young age, navigating her brother’s addiction and abuse, and facing her own substance use shaped her path. What began as coping eventually became a calling — but she quickly discovered that traditional recovery models weren’t enough. They treated the behavior, not the pain underneath it.

That realization pushed Jeanne toward holistic, trauma-informed, and emotionally grounded methods that changed not just her life, but the lives of those she now serves through The Recovery Concierge. Today, she’s a pioneer in integrative recovery, blending clinical insight with compassion, innovation, and a belief that all behavior has purpose.

Together, we explore the limitations of conventional treatment, the rise of emotional sobriety, and Jeanne’s vision for the future of mental health — one where we train practitioners to address trauma, family dynamics, and whole-person healing.
