When Perfectionism Is Really Survival

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Sober Living Stories podcast, we're joined by Tina Sasso, a nurse practitioner, holistic wellness health coach, and survivor of relationship trauma who is passionate about empowering Women Survivors of Relationship Trauma. Her mission is to help them take charge of their health, boost their energy and confidence, and achieve their optimal health and life goals. Today, Tina bravely shares her story for the first time of growing up in an alcoholic household. Tina reflects on her experiences cleaning up after her parents' late-night parties and the overdeveloped sense of responsibility she felt as the eldest child trying to maintain order at a young age. Her upbringing led to patterns of codependency and perfectionism that shaped her life choices, relationships, and even her achievements in academics and dance. Through our conversation, Tina reveals how she transformed those early struggles into a positive, successful life as an entrepreneur dedicated to helping others. She opens up about the transition from high school to college, the recent realization that sobriety offered unmatched benefits, and the challenges of balancing a social life with academics while avoiding following in her family's footsteps. Now celebrating nearly a year of sobriety, Tina shares how this journey has led to personal and professional growth, including launching her own business and coaching other women to reach their potential. This episode highlights the powerful impact of therapy, EMDR, and making positive choices.  As Tina’s entrepreneurial journey continues, she’s committed to guiding others through their transformations and towards a healthier, happier AF life.  She supports women in a private Facebook community called "Tina Sasso-Love Your Health," a 90-minute Health Audit session, a 10-day natural detox challenge called “Shred10 Challenge”(grab yours free below!), a 12-week personalized 1:1 Health Coaching program, and a customized Small Group Health Coaching program.Grab your Shred 10: 10-Day Natural Detox Challenge normally $27 yet FREE for listeners!
