MEET OUR FOUNDER
P
assionate, diligent, and full of compassion encompass the essence of who Mya Speller is. She has long held the belief that people can pivot and create the lives they were meant to live. Her heart to see the often forgotten of society, has always caused her to make bold moves in the community. As the founder of Beyond Your Ordinary Inc., and Changing Phases Behavioral Support, Inc. she has successfully intertwined her education and passion for seeing individuals whole, into her life’s work. Mental health and substance abuse addiction are arenas Mya understands thoroughly, and they are areas in which she is proficient. She works diligently to holistically remove the stigma associated with mental health and among the substance abuse community.
Always thinking outside of the box, Mya has created the Changing Your Ordinary Recovery Center. She is merging her knowledge and passion for mental health, addiction, and social and emotional well-being. While substance abuse clinics are necessary, she understands that other needs exist in low income communities as well. Environmental factors such as diet, limited or no access to basic resources (medical, social, educational, etc.) also hold individuals back. Having this insight, Mya is bringing to Macon something it’s never seen before. This is not just another clinic in a low income community. This is a holistic recovery center, set to bring medical, physical, psychological, mental, social, educational, and even spiritual revival to a long overlooked community. Mya shares the vision of her ancestors and all that went before her, to see individuals in challenging, seemingly impossible situations, rise. Standing on the backs of previous generations, she stands tall and holds this community and it’s future dear to her heart. She has come to continue the vision that was birthed and feels called to take the baton and help mold this community, particularly those struggling with substance abuse addiction and mental health challenges, into something many never knew was possible.
