Episode Synopsis

In this deeply personal episode, I share my path from drowning my sorrows in alcohol to discovering profound meaning and growth in grief and loss.

At 33, I've faced more than my share of tragedy, losing not just grandparents, but my parents and brother as well. Today, I open up about the unexpected, shattering loss of my brother at 12, the guilt and self-blame that followed, and how my father's death became a catalyst for sobriety and transformation.

Join me as we explore:
-The heavy emotional toll of sudden, unanticipated loss and its impact on my early years.
-The journey from numbing pain with alcohol to finding peace and new perspectives on death and the afterlife.
-Reframing beliefs about death through the lens of energy and spirituality, and how this shift has helped me connect with loved ones who have passed.
-The importance of post-traumatic growth and how to transform grief into a source of strength and purpose.
-Practical exercises for cultivating acceptance, harvesting the good from painful experiences, and stepping into a life of gratitude and joy.

My hope is that this episode reaches anyone that is struggling with alcohol and grief/loss: know that you're not alone. And you, too, are 1000% capable of shifting your perspectives on your heartbreak and live the life that your "angels" would want you to be living.

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions on suicide, death from alcohol-related illnesses, and other sensitive topics.

Listen now and let's turn your perception of going sober, AND HEALING, upside down. 🌟
