The Ozempic Temptation- What I Really Needed Wasn't a Shot with Gen Stoney

Hello! It's Gen, and I'd love to hear from you. Click here & send me a text :) In this raw and honest episode, I’m sharing something I haven’t opened up about publicly until now—my personal journey of almost going on Ozempic during one of the most emotionally painful years of my life.After experiencing deep grief, weight gain, and a growing sense of disconnection from my body, I found myself reaching for the quick fix… craving something that would make me feel better fast. But the truth? It wasn’t really about the weight. It was about the pain underneath—the sadness, the anxiety, and the desire to escape it all.This is a conversation about recovery, body image, emotional avoidance, and the quiet ways our old patterns resurface—even after years of sobriety.I talk about what helped me come back home to myself—therapy, spiritual reconnection, nervous system nourishment, and most importantly, the decision to slow down instead of check out.If you’ve ever struggled with wanting to bypass the hard stuff, or felt shame about how you’ve coped—this episode will meet you with love, compassion, and truth.💫 And if you’re ready to explore what it means to evolve in your sobriety—not just stay sober, but truly live—I invite you into The Sober Collective.
