“I Lost My Business, My Identity, and Myself to Addiction” | An Executive’s Fall & Recovery
Description
She was a high-powered executive, running multimillion-dollar businesses, praised for her hustle and feared in boardrooms — until addiction took over.
In this raw and unfiltered conversation, Margo Siewert opens up about a life fueled by alcohol, cocaine, ego, and control… and the devastating collapse that followed. From growing up as the daughter of a high-functioning alcoholic, to surviving divorce while pregnant, to nearly dying during childbirth, to building a booming company while quietly spiraling into addiction — everything eventually caught up.
When her husband battled terminal cancer, her son was diagnosed with cancer, and her addiction finally came into the light, Margo lost everything she thought defined her. What followed was surrender, rehab, grief, and an unexpected reconnection with faith that changed the trajectory of her life forever.
This episode dives deep into:
• Cocaine addiction in high-level corporate life
• Ego, power, and the illusion of control
• Trauma, grief, and survival
• Losing your identity — and rebuilding it
• Faith, surrender, and recovery
• Life after rock bottom
This is not a highlight reel. It’s a redemption story — told honestly, painfully, and without filters.
If you or someone you love is struggling, you are not alone.
