Episode 181. How to Truly Love Your Life, with Danni Carr

This week, Ash welcomes back her sober soul sister Danni Carr, for a wide ranging chat on Bali, yoga, and the spiritual practices that underpin their sobriety. Danni shares the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, the three-part connection to the divine, community, and land that keeps life in balance, and reflects on how a once reluctant relationship with yoga, born from hungover gym sessions and stormed out shavasanas, slowly became the foundation of her recovery and her sense of coming home to herself.The conversation moves into deeper territory as Danni and Ash explore what the divine means to them now, the science behind spiritual practice and the brain, and the unexpected friendships that sobriety has made possible. Danni speaks candidly about needing daily practice not to recover but to keep expanding and staying regulated, and reminds listeners that spirituality doesn't have to be serious or precise to be powerful.It’s a heartfelt conversation between two friends about connection, consistency, and choosing a life that feels good without needing to numb out to get there.Episode chapters:00:00 Reconnecting in Bali: A Spiritual Journey03:56 The Balinese Philosophy of Trihitakarana07:23 Cultural Immersion: Sharing Bali's Rich Heritage11:59 The Transformative Power of Yoga18:55 Finding Stillness: The Challenge of Shivasana21:17 Embracing Autonomy in Yoga Practice22:45 Finding the Right Teachers24:07 Provoking Thought Through Stillness25:51 Navigating Friendships in Sobriety28:56 The Importance of Consistency in Recovery32:27 Spirituality as a Foundation for Sobriety34:16 Understanding the Divine37:05 The Value of Connection and Community37:48 Finding Joy in Spiritual PracticesYou can connect with Danni through:Check out Danni’s 4 Week Sober & Transformational Challenge IG: @howiquitalcohol Recommendations:The Awakened Brain by Lisa Miller Join Ash’s community newsletter!
