How to Survive the Newcomer Grind, Healing Shame, and Living Clean

Today my guest is the fabulous host of The Chasing Heroine Podcast. I just wanna say, buckle up, because you are in for a wild ride. When you get two ADHD women together who are super passionate about Game of Thrones, telling stories and recovery, you get a wild episode!    I loved this episode because Jeannine is so transparent, vulnerable, and honest about her struggles with her 15 year addiction. She isn't afraid to tell it like it was or share the wisdom of lessons learned in recovery. She is a living miracle of transformation and I can't wait for you to meet her!   But before we jump in, I would like to share a quote that has really been working on my soul as of late. The quote is from Peter Crone who said "Life will bring you people and circumstances to reveal where you are not free."     I heard it right when I was feeling super triggered by someone very close to me who is suffering. I immediately recognized it as very old pain from my childhood when I watched my sister struggle with mental illness. In my young mind, I thought it was my job to save her, but I always felt like I failed her which made me feel horrible about myself. I remember what a hopeless and powerless feeling it was.   So to have been triggered in my current circumstance, it absolutely showed me where I'm not free. What I am reminded of is the idea that I can take a moment to acknowledge my feelings, validate them and to let go of what's not mine. Other people's feelings are not my responsibility, especially when they don't want my help. Freedom comes when I can process through the cycle and return to peace. That's how I regain my freedom from obsession.    So if you have challenging people or circumstances in your life, I hope this will help you to let go of what's not yours so you can be happy, joyous and free.   That's it from me, please enjoy this episode with Jeannine.    Connect with  here: Visit Website:  Follow on Instagram   Watch on YouTube: ​​https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNuRolkOZ7X8fCEFCDYd5tg Subscribe So You Don't Miss New Episodes!   Listen On:   https://apple.co/30g6ALF   https://odaatchat.libsyn.com/spotify   https://bit.ly/3n0taNQ     Watch Full Episodes!   https://bit.ly/2UpR5Lo
