In this episode, Hopi shares her story of addiction, how she moved through it, and what she’s found on the other side. We dive into her childhood and being “born an addict”, hitting her wall at 40 & her rock bottom 5 years later, and her experience with sobriety, moving away from narcissism, and her path to finding peace.

If you’re struggling to free yourself from any kind of addiction, this one’s for you. 

We dive into:

• Hopi’s addiction story and the road to recovery

• The beginnings of her addictions, being an adult child of alcoholics & alchemizing childhood trauma

• Hitting her rock bottom & getting a powerful wakeup call from her niece

• The 12 Steps - and why we both agree that everyone can benefit from them

• Being an “entitled supporter” and an edge Hopi is leaning into around this

• And more
