Madeleine’s story is proof that recovery is not just survival—it’s reinvention. From early struggles with substances and years of living on the street, to moments of despair and near-death, she found herself wishing on a star for change. That wish carried her into recovery, where she discovered acceptance, community, and a new sense of self as a trans woman. Today, she works at Serenity Star Recovery, leads Rainbows for Recovery, and continues to rebuild her life with purpose, service, and love.

This conversation, guided by The Star card, reminds us that hope is always possible—even when it feels out of reach.
