S2E3 | Reclaiming Your Voice After Addiction and Human Trafficking: Alicia’s Journey
In this powerful episode of Time with Tim, we sit down with Alicia—an Indigenous hoop dancer, writer, early childhood educator, and survivor of human trafficking and gang involvement. Alicia shares her raw and courageous story, revealing how she endured years of violence, addiction, and systemic failure, and how she ultimately found healing through culture, community, and inner transformation. From her early years of overachievement and hidden pain to the moment she reclaimed her life, Alicia speaks with honesty and heart. She discusses the role of Indigenous hoop dancing in her recovery, her experience with inner child work, and how rebuilding safety and trust became the foundation for freedom. This conversation is about survival—but more than that, it’s about reclaiming identity, agency, and joy. It’s an episode for anyone navigating trauma, addiction, or the path of healing.Subscribe to stay tuned!Connect with us:Website: www.timfletcher.caYouTube (Main): @TimFletcherYouTube (Podcast): @TimeWithTimPodcastInstagram: @timfletchercoFacebook: TimFletcherCoTikTok: @timfletcher_coHave a question for Tim Fletcher?
