Hey Friend! Im so glad youre here for this special episode. Today my dear friend Charlie LeVoir, the host of The Way Out Podcast, is interviewing me to talk about my new book The 12 Step Guide For Skeptics Clearing Up Common Misconceptions of a Path to Sobriety. And stay to the end because we talk about the dark side of social media sobriety! When I announced that the book was published, I had several people suggest that I talk about why I wrote the book, and Im not great at doing solo episodes, so I asked Charlie to join me. BTW, follow me on Instagram @arlinaallen because Ill be sharing about The Inner Compass Program thats launching in January. The whole idea about this new program is to help you get unstuck on your personal growth journey and solve the one problem EVERYONE has which is collapsing the gap between knowing what to do, and actually doing it! We all struggle with internal resistance, and the new program will be focused on helping you resolve that resistance, so you can feel freer to take the actions that will help you break out of negative behavior patterns and make consistent progress towards your goals. I am so excited about this work, because its the work that frees you up to do all your other work! So thats it for announcements.
