Summary
Today we are excited to have Holly Whitaker on The SHAIR Podcast. She was the co-host of the HOME podcast, the bestselling author of Quit Like a Woman, and the founder of Tempest, a holistic, evidence-based digital recovery platform
It's not just people in addiction recovery who hit a bottom. We all will have that point of reckoning in our lives that will turn us inside out. The current pandemic will force many of us to reevaluate how we think about ourselves and the world.
Holly talks about her struggle with the desire to be numb and escape oneself. She tells us that as people in recovery, we can lead the way through the dark night of the soul, showing others not only how to survive, but to come out on the other side with a new level of self-awareness, empathy, and acceptance.
Did you know how powerful you are?
