I never thought my life would be what it is today, and I never thought I'd be that person that would say I had a problem, which I'm sure will unfold in my story today with you guys.
Ever thought a simple 90-day challenge could change your life? In this heartfelt episode of 'Let The Journey Begin', hosts Hilary Roberts and Jason Wahler sit down with Lisa Holste, owner and master stylist at Posh | The Salon in Denver, Colorado. Lisa’s story is one many might relate to: she never considered herself to have a drinking problem until her marriage hit rocky waters and a therapist suggested she quit alcohol for 90 days.
Reluctantly, she took on the challenge, only to find that her fun nights out had morphed into dark, troubling episodes. This was the wake-up call she needed to confront her drinking habits head-on. Lisa opens up about her early days of sobriety, highlighting how therapy and support groups became her lifeline. Unlike many, she didn’t enter formal treatment but leaned heavily on meetings and the guidance of mentors.
Now, with over 12 years of sobriety under her belt, Lisa credits prayer and a higher power for her continued success. She also shares how her daily routine has transformed, painting a vivid picture of how drastically different her life looks today compared to 15 years ago. This episode is a testament to the power of community and the strength found in vulnerability.
Whether you're at the beginning of your own journey or supporting someone else, Lisa’s story offers a beacon of hope and practical insights. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that underscores the importance of support systems, personal growth, and the courage to change.
