EP125: Gabe Cohen and Peer Led Recovery

From seven prison sentences and a cocaine overdose to becoming an award-winning community leader, author, and recovery advocate—Gabe Cohen embodies what it means to rewrite your legacy. In this powerful episode, Dr. Cali Estes sits down with Gabe to explore his incredible transformation—from addiction, homelessness, and trauma, to becoming the Executive Director of Discovery Cafe, a hub for second chances and peer-led recovery. Diagnosed with bipolar disorder and PTSD, Gabe leveraged his lived experience to create groundbreaking peer programming that is now reducing recidivism and offering real hope to those reentering society after incarceration. He shares insights from his new book:
“The Peer Recovery Community Organization: How to Leverage Your Lived Experience and Create a New Legacy.” You'll also hear about his unique role as a Krav Maga black belt instructor, corrections chaplain, and peer recovery coach trainer, proving that recovery is not only possible—it's powerful. Tune in to hear how Gabe turned his pain into purpose and built a legacy of healing, leadership, and impact.
