Are you stuck in the rut of addiction looking for some hope for change? Or are you already in recovery but struggling with your emotional sobriety & feeling anxious about whether or not you’re doing this life thing right? Are you a self-proclaimed perfectionist constantly worried about what others think of you? Do you feel childhood and family patterns repeating themselves in your marriage or relationships? Did the pink cloud fade a long time ago only to be replaced with the restlessness, irritability, and discontent of those familiar drunken days?
Maybe you’re a high achiever and on the outside, you have everything you need and even some of the things you want - but you’re still feeling dissatisfied. People see success when they look at you but all you see when you look in the mirror is a person you don’t even recognize - just like those 3am accidental glimpses in the mirror when you were crying in the bathroom. Desperate for a solution & crying out to a God you weren’t sure you even believed in. OH desperation - what a gift that was!
In this podcast you’re gonna hear stories of hope for sober living. Stories with solutions to emotional health, relationships, and that critical inner voice as well as transparent and authentic conversations about navigating mental health, faith, and relationships in recovery.
My name’s Felicia and I’m a 12-stepper turned therapist. I’m married and I have two littles under 5. I grew up in church but I didn’t find Jesus or understand grace until I found the rooms of AA in 2011. I love Jesus but have had my fair share of struggling with church culture and religion. I know what it’s like to be stuck in a restless, irritable, and discontent rut (drunk & sober). This next season I’m going to be shifting the podcast focus to stories of hope for sober living. This change comes after a year of podcasting and recognizing more than ever the power of storytelling and my hope to reach a larger audience of listeners seeking a solution to their addiction in addition to solutions for living sober. There will still at times be a focus on reaching parents in recovery since this is such a huge part of my recovery, but not all my guests who will be sharing their experience, strength, and hope, will be parents.
I’m so glad you’re here!
