She opens up about a year spent studying Compassionate Inquiry under the legendary Gabor Maté, and how that training reshaped everything she thought she knew about healing.Now she's layering mindfulness and retreats onto her sobriety coaching, and this conversation is a masterclass in what it looks like to do the inner work and build something meaningful from it.What you'll hear in this episode:The full-circle moment — Danni hosted Christy in 2022 when her sobriety memoir first publishedDanni and Ash Grunwald's sobriety journey and the book they wrote togetherWhat a year studying Compassionate Inquiry under Gabor Maté actually looks like — and how it changed herHow manifestation guided hers and Ash's sobriety journeyWhat sobriety, self-compassion, and safe spaces have in commonConnect with Danni:iquitalcohol.com.auInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/howiquitalcohol/Learn more about Christy's retreats and community at: thrivewithchristy.comShare this episode with someone quietly reconsidering their relationship with alcoholPlease follow, subscribe and leave a review if you are loving this podcast
