When we love someone with addiction, it’s easy to get sucked into their chaos and let our own well-being suffer. The anxiety, fear, shame, and self-doubt take a toll on our mental and physical health. Years of feeling crazy due to lies and manipulation) make it hard to trust not only our loved one, but also ourself. We may feel stuck and out of touch with our wants and needs. That's why we are so excited for today's guest, Isobel Stewart, a Confidence Empowerment Coach. Her work helps people overcome perfectionism, people pleasing, and self doubt so they can live life feeling confident, inspired and fulfilled. In this episode, we discuss:

Why we lose confidence as we grow up
Perfectionism and people pleasing as coping mechanisms
The impact of addiction on our self-trust
Setting boundaries
Being the alter ego of yourself
The one thing we all have in common at our core
