I feel like I learned more about myself in the last year than I did in the previous time because I was authentically connected and feeling everything all the way through.
Reaching the one-year mark of sobriety is a monumental achievement, and in this episode of 'Beyond Recovery', Matt Gardiner sits down with Kaitlynn Mika to discuss her journey. Fresh off celebrating her one-year alcohol-free anniversary, Kaitlynn shares a candid look into the highs and lows that marked her first year of sobriety. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating their own path to recovery or supporting someone who is.
Kaitlynn opens up about the mix of emotions she experienced as she approached her one-year milestone. She talks about the narratives that surfaced, ranging from pride to self-doubt, and how she managed to face them head-on without letting them derail her progress. This honest reflection offers valuable insights for anyone grappling with similar feelings. A significant part of Kaitlynn's journey has been the practice of embodiment, which she describes as aligning the heart and mind.
She explains how this practice has helped her stay true to herself and avoid manipulating situations to suit her desires. Instead, she's learned to express herself authentically, a lesson that's crucial for anyone on the road to recovery. Breathwork and storytelling have also played pivotal roles in Kaitlynn's sobriety. She shares how daily breathwork exercises have helped her maintain focus and clarity, and recounts a powerful visualization from one of her meditations that offered her new perspectives on her journey.
Storytelling, she notes, has been a way to connect with others and share her experiences in a meaningful way. Throughout the episode, Kaitlynn emphasizes the importance of having a strong support system and maintaining an attitude of gratitude. She discusses the challenges she's faced in social settings and how she's learned to navigate them while staying true to her alcohol-free commitment. Her plans for year two are filled with excitement and curiosity as she continues to explore and grow.
Kaitlynn's story is a testament to the power of authenticity, embodiment, and support in achieving and maintaining sobriety. Her reflections and future plans offer inspiration and practical advice for anyone on a similar path.
