Meredith talks about the path of trauma. A lot of us try to push aside the trauma that has caused us to find ourselves in addiction. "That's not me..." But when we get sober, we realize that there was trauma. And once we realize that, we need to work through it.
Early in our sobriety, we need to learn new skills to take control of our lives. We need to understand where our cravings come from to be able to build the skills needed to ward them off and work through them. To understand the why.

Our next guest PROVES that addiction doesn’t discriminate!
“A recent study conducted by the ABA Commission on Lawyer Assistance Programs and the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation showed that nearly 21% of lawyers and others in legal professions were considered problem drinkers. As more specific questions were relayed to the surveyed participants, that number jumped even higher to over 36% of attorneys struggling with alcohol abuse.”
Welcome to Season 3 Episode 36 🎙️
Renee is a 30+ year trial attorney, and mediator who could not figure out how to succeed at living a life worth living. Although her career was and still is fulfilling, she was a single mother raising a daughter, and her life looked successful by all accounts. yet she could not make sense of all that was happening wrong in her life. Seeking a solution to fix herself, she went to a therapist. It was her therapist who suggested she go to just one AA meeting over 16 years ago.

It's important to understand your vulnerability, your authenticity, and what they may mean when you tell your story out loud.
Yes, we can show up while we are drinking. But showing up while in recovery is a whole new level of showing up.
Balancing a successful career while battling an addiction is a reality from many. But how do these challenges impact each other?
Do you think a successful career can coexist with struggles like alcohol, alcohol or drug addiction?
Dana talks about how she is bringing Recovery Friendly Workplace initiatives to the workplace. One important part of that is global events and having mocktails or a sober event for people to connect and network. Not everyone that doesn't drink is in recovery. They may be pregnant, or won't drink for religious purposes. We would never think about asking them over and over why they don't drink.
"I have a sponsor, who has a sponsor, who has a sponsor." Community and support are amazingly important in recovery.
Meredith shares the questions she's asked. Like, "aren't you going to have a toast when your girls get married?" Meredith states that she does not need a drink in her hand to celebrate one of the best things that will be happening in hers and her kids lives.
Renee talks about all the How's of rebellion. How do I get out of the house. How do I get the boyfriend. She doesn't regret them. They are part of what made the her of today.
A lot of women in the workplace feel pressure. Pressure to be the best, overachieve, work harder, work longer... But, where does that get us?
We cannot wait for you to hear Renee's story on September 1st! Be sure to take a listen to this trial attorney's story of recovery. You won't want to miss it!

Welcome to Episode 35!
Shelly-Anne Mckay is a compassionate and intuitive Food Addiction Coach with a Master Certified Coach (MCC) designation with the International Coaching Federation.
After a 24-year struggle with alcohol and street drug addictions, she found sobriety and surprisingly discovered she struggled with ultra-processed food addiction. Her dedication to overcome and heal from this led to the creation of a Professional Food Addiction Coach Certification program. The program is certified by the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaches (NBHWC USA), the International Association for Professional Recovery Coaches (IAPRC USA), and Health Coach Alliance (HCA Canada).
Shelly-Anne's mission is to educate wellness professionals to effectively support those struggling with food addiction, and to end the suffering many experience navigating their relationship with food. She believes the path to recovery is highly individual.
Elena Garcia - After a stress breakdown, moving countries, and releasing some weight, I started prioritizing my own mental health. I got so intrigued about how it works that it led me to pursue a degree in Psychology. I learned how thoughts and emotions influence our decisions and conduct, from deciding what to eat for dinner to neglecting our body for years. I now hold a Masters in Clinicial Psychology and have a private practice as a Licenced Holistic Therapist.
In these sacred spaces at Soul Sisters United, we team up to address damaging paradigms and habits that might be affecting mental and physical health with a a goal to foster strategies for a thriving, joyful, and compassionate life.
During the discussion, Dana comes to the realization that she, too, has an unhealthy relationship with food. She knows what to do, it's changing the brain, and the habit, and working through the "why" that she now finds herself needing to work on.
In this clip, Elena shares how she would look in the mirror and just not want to exist. When she would look at herself she wanted to die, and she knew that wasn't the answer. So she started to make little changes.
Meredith talks about her relationship to food, how we need it to sustain life, and how she saw food differently as a child. If they had cereal in the pantry, they knew they'd be good! To this day, Meredith's go-to cheat meal... cereal.
Elena talks about how most of her days now she finds herself in the calm. It's freedom from food. She still loves her cheesecake! However, now she sees it from a different perspective. soulsistersunited_official Soul Sisters United

Early in our sobriety, we need to learn new skills to take control of our lives. We need to understand where our cravings come from to be able to build the skills needed to ward them off and work through them. To understand the why.

Dana talks about how she is bringing Recovery Friendly Workplace initiatives to the workplace. One important part of that is global events and having mocktails or a sober event for people to connect and network. Not everyone that doesn't drink is in recovery. They may be pregnant, or won't drink for religious purposes. We would never think about asking them over and over why they don't drink.
