Carrie Burgess is one of The SHAIR Network’s first members and has been active in the community ever since. If you have joined our Free SHAIR Facebook Group, then you have seen her around!
Carrie was a perfectionist who became addicted to alcohol, marijuana, and painkillers. Her addiction was so bad, she taught little girls dance class while intoxicated. She broke into her mother-in-law’s house to steal pills while carrying her baby son on her hip. She smoked synthetic marijuana until she didn’t know if she had been coming or going to work. She became a hollow shell that didn’t care about anything anymore.
Now Carrie is celebrating more than 5 years of sobriety and has learned to overcome the guilt and forgive herself for the wreckage and pain she caused while she was in active addiction. Listen to her story from zombie mom to her new life in sobriety!

Freddy Negrete - Guns, Gangs, Tattoos & Recovery...
Freddy Negrete is a legendary tattoo artist based in Hollywood, CA. He’s been profiled on numerous media and has tattooed numerous celebrities, musicians and sport personalities.
Freddy was orphaned at the age of two when his mother and father, both Pachuco gangsters, went to jail. After a youth of foster care and boys’ homes, Freddy went down the same path as his parents and lived a cycle of gangs, drugs, and incarceration.
Freddy honed his skills as a tattooist in prison and is now a world-renowned pioneer of black and grey realism. Freddy endured countless ups and downs with addiction and suffered deadly health issues, but he asked for healing and, after a pivotal moment, he received it.
He is now clean and sober and helping others in the community get out of the dangerous life he once lived.

Sue Curr is a motivational speaker, life coach, and author. She helps people achieve their full potential and instill in them the confidence to live life the way they want.
It’s hard to believe that 5 years ago, Sue was at death’s door. Her organs were failing from a 5-bottle-of-Chardonnay-a-day drinking habit. By shear strength and resolve, she made it out alive. Now Sue doesn’t waste a minute of her life.
Fear less live more is her motto. At the age of 57, Sue eliminated her remaining fear of heights by skydiving. She now knows there is no limit to what she can do.
Sue's story is dark and laced with humor as she tells us how she went from lying in a hospital bed to flying high on life!
