You-est You®: Redefining Intuition, Spirituality, Consciousness & Healing Beyond Addiction: Reclaiming Your Power & Purpose
Maybe you or someone you love has struggled with addiction, self-doubt, or the weight of past wounds.
If so, you are not alone—and there is a path to healing.
In this week's You-est You Podcast, I had a deeply moving conversation about addiction, trauma, and self-compassion. My guest Arlina Allen, host of the One Day at a Time Recovery podcast and author of The 12-Step Guide For Skeptics, shares her raw and real journey from struggling with alcohol and self-worth to finding freedom, healing, and a life filled with purpose.
We dive into: ✨ How childhood experiences shape our beliefs and behaviors ✨ The power of compassion in breaking free from addiction ✨ Why redefining spirituality can be key to healing ✨ The misunderstood truth about the 12-step journey ✨ How to reclaim your power and create a life you truly love
