A Journey to Sobriety & Finding Strength in Vulnerability

In this episode of the "Eternally Amy" podcast, Amy welcomes guest Michelle McDonald and engages in a candid conversation about their personal journeys in sobriety. They share their experiences with triggers and difficulties, as well as helpful insights into overcoming them, with one another. Finding tools and methods that help with recovery is talked about. For instance, writing in a journal, meditating, and doing breathwork are all given as examples. Also, they say to live in the present and enjoy the little things in life.
