Examine Your House Of Cards with guest, Kerri Lewis

from The Empowering Process Podcast With Gail Kraft · host Gail Kraft

Episode 141 Join my guest, Kerri Lewis, and me as we talk about addiction being seen as weakness when it is actually a coping mechanism.   Kerri’s says her  biggest struggle was learning who she was beyond family and societal expectations. Because she had no sense of self, she struggled with believing she was worthy, and she was lovable. To cope with feeling worthless in the world, she turned towards chemicals and behaviors that helped her numb her pain and feelings of shame and guilt.    Kerri shares how her life began to change when she was able to examine her beliefs and coping patterns. She discovered what really brought her joy and happiness and was able to make choices that allowed her to elevate her feeling about herself. With this shift in perspective, Kerri was able to break free from the many addictive behaviors and addictions she struggled with and experience the world from a place of acceptance, joy, compassion, and love. Kerri is a life coach at Kerri Lewis Coaching and works with people who are addicted to substances, or to ideas, like perfection and success. According to Kerri, she guts you like a fish so that you can live life fully.
