From Surviving to Leading - Marissa's Story

In this episode of The Sober New Yorker, I sit down with Marissa Cherepanov—leadership executive, author, recovery advocate, and CEO of No Girl Left Behind—for a powerful conversation about going from surviving to leading.Marissa shares how sobriety became a catalyst for healing, resilience, and stepping into her own power. We talk about rebuilding confidence, finding your voice, and how our hardest chapters can shape us into the women we’re meant to become.This conversation is about more than getting sober. It’s about what happens after—when you stop surviving and start creating a life of purpose, confidence, and possibility.Follow Marissa:https://www.instagram.com/m_cherepanova_/
