From Rock Bottom to Recovery: Kristina Mohn's Inspiring Journey

"It truly feels like I've had two separate lives: life before recovery and life now."In this new episode of Delay the Decay, we interview Kristina Mohn, a licensed massage therapist with Rise Up Wellness and Recovery, CrossFit Level 2 coach at CrossFit 970, and competitive Olympic weightlifter. Kristina recounts her alcoholism, confusion about purpose and faith, and a 2014 rock-bottom moment after leaving her young children home while drinking, leading to sobriety in 2016, and finding a welcoming church that helped her release shame and embrace redemption, motivating her to be vulnerable so others feel less alone. Kristina talks about how CrossFit became a stabilizing focus in early recovery, leading to coaching, weightlifting competition, and placing sixth at Masters Worlds. We discuss discipline as daily intentional consistency, scaling workouts for stimulus, and encouraging stuck people to take the next step with supportive community.00:00 Meet Kristina Mohn04:00 Benefits And Longevity Doc07:48 Why She Loves Healing Work10:26 Recovery Story Begins11:38 Life Before Sobriety17:19 Rock Bottom Wake Up Call20:01 Church Family And Sobriety21:42 Letting Go Of Shame25:20 Using Pain To Help Others31:54 Sober to CrossFit38:49 Discipline and Consistency44:13 Scaling and RX Mindset47:30 Competitive Weightlifting53:38 Life After Kids55:34 Next Step Encouragement01:01:43 Direction Not Perfection01:02:45 Where to Follow KristinaThank you Kristina Mohn for being a guest on Delay the Decay!
