Nadine Machkovech is a national speaker, upcoming author, and recovery advocate who inspires self-worth through authentic storytelling. With over 11 years in recovery, she uses her lived experience to connect with audiences in a way that is both raw and empowering. Nadine entered recovery at just 20 years old and has since dedicated her life to creating spaces where people—especially young people—feel seen, heard, and supported.
As the Executive Director of RISE TOGETHER, she leads youth-centered programs focused on mental health, substance use prevention, and healing-centered connection. With more than 2,000 hours of facilitation experience, Nadine has spoken on stages across the country—including TEDx—sharing stories that move students, parents, and educators to reflect, grow, and take action. Her upcoming book explores the journey of rediscovering self-worth and turning pain into purpose. Learn more at NadineSpeaks.com.
