Episode 53: From Burnout to Breakthrough: A Nurse’s Story of Recovery & Growth

from Kaizen Kast · host Kaizen Kast

We sit down with Theresa Coughlin, a former nursing student who appeared to have it all together—until alcohol quietly began dismantling her life behind the scenes. Theresa opens up about the emotional weight of pretending to be okay, treating sobriety like a punishment, and struggling to rediscover her identity without the party lifestyle. Now, she’s rewriting her story—building a business, finding clarity, and living with intention. Her raw honesty and strength offer a reminder that even when life feels off course, recovery and growth are always possible.
