Summary

On today’s episode, coach, podcast host, and self-described life-long seeker Omar Pinto joins Annie Grace from Costa Rica. From his first drink at 16 years old, Omar felt magic in the way alcohol quieted the noise in his head and made the negative self-talk disappear. In constant search of control and freedom, Omar sought approval and validation and to feel significant. He thought alcohol gave him all that. Listen to hear how he found hope by learning to believe in himself and reframing his story into a much more empowering version of the truth.

0:38.0	Yeah, it's great. It's really cool. So today, we know each other in various ways, but today,
0:43.6	I get to hear your story, which is cool because I feel like we've done most of talking previously,
0:48.7	so I'm really excited. Yes, well, that was the idea. So, um, why don't you take me all the way back,
