HAPPY 1 YEAR PODCAST ANNIVERSARY!
Not an obvious topic choice to celebrate but it's perfect because this podcast is my visibility research play project and I love leaning into my edges and explore. I hope you receive something meaningful from it.

Whether you’re in the midst of a drug or alcohol addiction or something more culturally “acceptable” like an addiction to work, perfection, or people-pleasing - there's a way to feel the truth of your experience without judgment.
In today’s episode, I dive into my addiction journey to share my process of getting more free everyday and some tools to help you illuminate the hidden spots in your life where you might be experiencing addiction patterns so you can allow more love, compassion & surrender to your life - and heal.
I dive into:
A deeper look at my story and experiences with addiction
The signs that you might be in an addiction cycle
Addiction as the norm/baseline in our culture (and how to examine where this might be holding you back from more freedom in your life)
Acceptable vs. unacceptable addictions
How to bring more love, compassion & surrender to your addiction experience
Emotional sobriety & healing the root
Why your “identity” could be keeping you stuck in an addiction cycle
A BIG perspective shift to make around your addiction shame
And more
