To begin this lesson, I invite you to watch “The Transformation Movie.”
A powerful film that highlights real recovery journeys. You’ll hear from five individuals who faced job loss, grief, relapse, mental health struggles, and emotional overwhelm—and who found strength and growth through those experiences.
As you watch, listen for the tools they used to rebuild: reaching out for help, reframing their thinking, engaging with their support systems, and choosing not to give up.

This video isn’t just about their transformation—it’s about reminding you that transformation is also possible for you.
