I guess I realized in those moments that I lost connection with my children, I hadn't really been like my family, I hadn't been at Christmases, I stopped going to nephew's birthdays, like in those moments, I guess I realized all of this stuff and, uh, it was literally like I woke up to my life like whoa, it was, it was bad, I mean it was good, because that's what I needed.
Imagine working in the high-pressure environment of an emergency department, only to find yourself battling PTSD and a series of personal disasters. That's the reality Sandra Lee faced. After enduring a painful divorce and losing her home to a fire, Sandra found herself spiraling into the depths of Xanax addiction. In this episode of 'The Addictive Pod', Sandra opens up about her harrowing journey and how she managed to reclaim her life.
With raw honesty, she shares how faith and even the lyrics of Eminem played pivotal roles in her recovery. Now, as an international speaker and resiliency coach, Sandra is dedicated to helping others navigate their own paths to sobriety. Her story is a testament to the power of resilience, the importance of self-care, and the impact of having a strong support system. Sandra also sheds light on the often-overlooked emotional challenges faced by those in high-stress professions like nursing.
She points out, 'There's no self-care training, there's no emotional nothing. You're not really taught that, and even in nursing school, there's not even a class for self-care'. If you're looking for an inspiring tale of overcoming adversity and finding new purpose, this episode is a must-listen.
