In this week's powerful pod episode, Em sits down with Stanton Carter — a dear friend with a remarkable story of transformation.
From years of numbing with alcohol to finally facing his emotions head-on, Stanton shares the raw, unfiltered truth about what healing really takes. He opens up about how alcohol became a "normal" part of life, what it looked like in his darkest hours, how he started his sobriety journey, what it taught him about emotional intelligence, and how he redefined self-love from the ground up.
This isn’t just a story of addiction — it’s a story of awakening and true healing.
