"Do you let yourself be treated a certain way because of your shame from the past?"

In today's episode, I’m getting real about the "Scarlet Letter" of alcoholism and how we often let old stories dictate the boundaries we set today. After a weekend of deep reflection, I realized that shame is a master at morphing into something that allows people to walk all over us. But here’s the truth: you aren't that person anymore.

Join me as we talk about:

  • The "Cha-Cha" of the First Three Steps: Powerlessness, belief, and letting go.

  • Peeling the Onion: Why recovery is a lifelong process of uncovering and healing.

  • Finding Joy in the Chaos: How a delayed flight in Austin taught me about choosing light over attitude.

  • Rising Above Respect: Understanding that while humans are fallible and will let us down, our sobriety and self-worth aren't up for sale.

It’s time to drop the punching gloves you’ve been hitting yourself with and change them for love, kindness, and compassion. You are not alone.
