Sophie Pyne and Ryan Carpenter: Waves of Recovery

#108: Ryan Carpenter and Sophie Pyne are Co-Founders of Waves of Recovery, the Los Angeles based non-profit dedicated to supporting people in recovery from mental health and addiction find healing, connection and community through surfing. As individuals in recovery themselves, Sophie and Ryan help folks navigate the waters and connect with themselves and each other on a deeper level. Check out the episode to hear from Sophie and Ryan as they discuss their own recovery journeys, and more, including:

• How one of the beautiful gift of recovery is the chance to pursue new hobbies and experiences you did not think were available to you.
• The moments when recovery stuck for Ryan and Sophie, and how now they facilitate that same connection and inspiration for others.
• How Waves of Recovery was formed, and the shared passion between Ryan and Sophie for connecting the mental health space with the outdoors.
• The reminder that working in the recovery field is not your recovery, and it's important to find ways to nourish yourself so you can continue to give.
