Coming Home to Yourself: Healing Self-Abandonment

In this episode of Sober Witch Life, Sunshine welcomes Kristine Genovese, creator of the Soul Intelligence Method, for a powerful conversation about recovery, self-abandonment, spirituality, and energetic healing. Kristine shares that self-abandonment was something she learned at a very young age, and that it shaped most of her life until her late 50s. While that pattern helped her become highly successful in her professional life, it caused deep pain and disconnection in her personal relationships. For Kristine, recovery means “coming home to yourself,” and her story is a beautiful reminder that recovery is not always about substances. Sometimes recovery is about finally choosing yourself. Together, Sunshine and Kristine explore how childhood wounds, people-pleasing, over-functioning, and broken boundaries can become lifelong patterns, and what it takes to heal them. Kristine also shares how spirituality shows up in every part of her life, from her room full of stones to her identity as a healer and white witch. Through her bioenergetic healing method, Soul Intelligence, Kristine now helps others heal mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, and energetically. This conversation is a grounded, mystical, and deeply human look at what happens when you stop abandoning yourself and start returning to your own soul.
