It had grown into her primary coping mechanism that led her down a path of disconnection from self and the world around her. She hid her addiction for years, suffering in silence, while presenting an image of happiness, sheltered by her achievements and the facade of a normal life. Her recovery journey was on and off for almost 6 years until she found freedom through sobriety a few months before her 31st birthday. The pain of active addiction had finally come to head for her and outweighed the fear of change and a life without alcohol and drugs. Now, Rachel is a dedicated sober and wellness coach who specializes in helping high-achieving individuals struggling with their relationship with alcohol. She integrates health and fitness into her coaching, viewing them as key pillars in both her own recovery and the journeys of those she helps. Rachel takes a progressive approach to alcohol, seeing substance abuse as a spectrum. She believes that you don't need to hit a dramatic “rock bottom” to make the choice to remove alcohol from your life. Whether you're exploring the benefits of an alcohol-free lifestyle or facing deeper struggles, Rachel supports her clients in breaking free from the toxic cycle of drinking. Through self-awareness, inner-child work, and rewiring the subconscious mind, she empowers them to create lasting change.In this episode, we discuss:Rachel’s story Why we don't need a "rock-bottom" to get soberAlternative recovery roadmaps outside of AA / NASubconscious programming around alcoholInner child workThe connection between trauma & addictionReplacing substances with new coping mechanismsHelping others on their sober journeySee links below to connect with Rachel and find out more about her work.Website: coachwithrach.comInstagram: @soberfitrach__Disclaimer: The content of this podcast is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
