Vanisha Breault is a fighter.
We all have our battles in life but Vanisha’s “war on addiction” has come from her fight for survival – for herself, her children, her family and their future.
Over the last decade, her fight has gone beyond her own family as now she is on a “tour of duty” in the war on addiction and says, “we can NEVER give up on HOPE! If our kids are above ground, there is HOPE!”
Vanisha’s fight and passion led her to start the Terminator Foundation which tackles the mental health, opioid, and addition crisis in Canada by offering triathlon training for youth and young adults.
Vanisha has come to her work through a lifetime of challenges and has bravely shared some of those challenges in her recently released her book “Ordinary Courage”.
She shows up on the pages in a real and raw way. The same way she shows up everywhere in her life. She’s not shy to share about the hardest – but most rewarding – job she’s ever had – being a Mom.
She is a passionate single parent and openly shares that 3 out of her 4 children have struggled with addiction issues - nearly costing each one of them their lives.
In our conversation today Vanisha shares what it has meant to her to show up authentically in every situation. To her that is the meaning of connection – to first get in touch with ourselves and then to pour our lives into the lives of others knowing there is hope for anyone that is ready to see it.
