322 - Dr Adriana Popescu on Healing Root Causes of Addiction

Image
Today I’ll be joined by Dr. Adriana Popescu is a licensed clinical psychologist, addiction specialist, author and podcast host. She has been working in the addiction recovery space for over 25 years using a variety of really fascinating holistic modalities. If you’ve been listening to this podcast for any length of time, you know that I’m very obsessed with learning about all the healing modalities, and I’m excited to share this conversion with you because Adriana is going to be talking about some that I’ve not heard of before.   Just a little programming note, I lost my podcast editor a couple months ago, so I have been producing the episodes myself, which takes quite a bit of time. To make things a little easier, I’m taking a cue from my buddy Shane Ramer, the host of That Sober Guy podcast, and kinda treating it like a live show, which means very little editing. You’ll have to let me know what you think!    And if I could ask a favor from you, please leave a review...

321 - Pete Sousa, ESPN Announcer On Addiction, Recovery, And Spreading Hope

Hi Friend,   Welcome to the podcast!    Today I’ll be joined by ESPN Announcer, and Morning Show Host, Pete Sousa. He is sharing his story of how he fell into addiction, the struggles he had to get sober, and the incredible work he does now to support the recovery community.   Before we jump in, just a reminder that I have some free resources for you if you’re just starting out on your sober journey. First, there is a private women’s facebook group where I regularly share books, podcasts or videos that are helping me stay sober. You can find it by searching “One Day At A Time Private Women’s Group”.   The other resource is a free downloadable guide called “How To Quit Drinking: 30 Tips For Your First 30 Days”. It has my best suggestions for the biggest challenges most people face in the beginning, like how to tell your friends and family, how to deal with cravings, how to socialize and what feelings to expect in the first 30 days. You’ll find it on my we...

Image
Welcome to the podcast! In case you are new here, my name is Arlina, and I just celebrated 30 years of sobriety! I’m also the founder of Sober Life School where I’ve helped hundreds of women quit drinking and create a life they love.    Today I’ll be joined by Christina Galbato. She is a very successful entrepreneur, who got her start as a travel blogger and now helps Content Creators to Build Profitable, Long-Lasting, and Impactful Businesses.    She is coming on today to share her journey of becoming alcohol-free. We talk about what it was like to be a high functioning business woman, with a large public community, while privately struggling with alcohol. We talk about how she recovered from alcoholism, going public with her story, and how she stays grounded in the face of public opinion. I found her to be genuine, very smart, and incredibly courageous. I think she’s such a great example of what it means to break the stigma of addiction by recovering out loud. ...
