Julie’s Path to Sobriety: Balancing Motherhood and Addiction

Sobriety cracks you open and shows you the true person beneath all the pain. Living in that place, honoring that self...that's where the magic is.
Imagine using alcohol as a solution for everything—celebrations, stress relief, even as a shoulder to cry on. That was Julie’s reality until it spiraled out of control. In this compelling episode of 'Together S.O.B.E.R.', host Louise Barnett sits down with Julie, who opens up about her journey from addiction to recovery. Julie shares how her drinking habits took over her life, making her feel trapped and helpless.
When she finally sought treatment, she discovered that sobriety wasn’t just about quitting alcohol; it was about uncovering her true self beneath all the pain. Now a Certified Professional Recovery Coach, Julie is passionate about helping other women navigate their own paths to sobriety. She talks candidly about the struggles and triumphs of being a mother, especially with one child on the autism spectrum, while maintaining her own mental health.
Julie’s story is a powerful reminder that recovery is not only possible but also incredibly rewarding. Her message is clear: 'Sobriety cracks you open and shows you the true person beneath all the pain. Living in that place, honoring that self…that’s where the magic is.' Tune in to hear Julie’s inspiring story and learn how prioritizing mental health and self-love can transform your life.
