OC212 Roxan McDonald on Childhood Trauma, Recovery and Why She Left AA After 31 Years

Today my guest is the talented, hilarious and beautiful human that is Roxan McDonald. It is impossible to capture all that she is in a bunch of job titles, but here goes. She's the creative force behind the IG and TikTok account @Spiritual_AF with over 140K followers, and co-host of the "Spiritual AF or Whatever" podcast. She's also a writing coach, meditation facilitator, educator and wears many many other hats.    Roxan shares her story of childhood abuse, trauma, addiction, her amazing transformation and how she's been able to stay sober since 1990. She shares publicly for the first time why she left AA after 31 years.    What I really needed was 3 hours to ask all my questions, but we do cover a lot of ground in this episode. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. So without further ado, please enjoy this episode with Roxan.   Connect with Roxan!
