Andrea Owen: From Struggles to Strength in Addiction Recovery

And when you're trying to stay away from that person or that place or doing those behaviors because you know that the next morning or the next moment you feel terrible, I hear that so often from women who know they shouldn't go near a person, because that person will always say yes and that they're going to hate themselves in the morning.
Ever wondered how someone can turn their darkest moments into a beacon of hope? Andrea Owen's story is a testament to the power of resilience and self-compassion. In this episode of 'All Things Substance', Betsy Byler sits down with Andrea, an author, global keynote speaker, and life coach, to discuss her journey through addiction and recovery. Andrea's childhood was shaped by a strong sense of truth-telling, a trait that eventually helped her confront her addiction head-on.
When she discovered her husband's opioid addiction, Andrea turned to personal development and life coaching to navigate her own struggles. She shares how self-reflection and self-compassion were crucial in her recovery, along with managing withdrawal and the challenges of divorce. Andrea emphasizes the importance of sharing stories and healing together, offering a message of hope and community. Tune in to hear Andrea's inspiring journey and gain insights into overcoming addiction.
