From Rock Bottom to Rebirth: Salma’s Story of Survival, Sobriety & Self-Love

T is for Transformation

What if the thing that saved your life was something as simple as pressing play?

In this raw and revealing episode, I sit down with Salma Virbanks—an artist, art therapist, and true warrior—who opens up about her incredible transformation from the grips of addiction, trauma, and abuse to becoming a beacon of healing for others. Her journey is not just about recovery; it’s about reclaiming power, rewriting your story, and finding strength through therapy, movement, and radical self-love.

We talk about everything—from childhood abuse to addiction, bulimia, codependency, and how the power of fitness (yes, even Insanity at 4 a.m.) became her lifeline. Salma’s story will challenge what you think you know about addiction and inspire you to keep going, no matter how broken you might feel.

This is more than a comeback. This is transformation in action.
