Coming Clean: Seraina Lamlin on Recovery and Self-Discovery

In this episode, I interview Seraina Lamlin, Associate Vice President at USI Insurance Services. From starting her insurance career as a receptionist in a small Florida agency to leading client strategy at USI, Seraina’s story is a powerful example of growth and self-belief. We talk about how she navigated a sink-or-swim learning environment, pursued her degree while raising three boys, and made a bold move from Florida to Philadelphia in pursuit of something greater, not just for her career, but for her life.

But what makes Seraina’s journey especially compelling is the personal transformation she shares with courage and candor. Now celebrating two years of sobriety, Seraina opens up about overcoming addiction, finding clarity, and the confidence that comes with living in alignment with your values. We explore the stigma surrounding mental health and addiction in corporate spaces and the importance of leading with empathy, vulnerability, and integrity. Seraina is a beautiful reminder that reinvention is possible.
