We walk into sobriety a lot of the time, completely broken humans. And I think that's the beauty, isn't it? Watching people, which I'm sure you get the privilege and the honor of doing now, watching other people get sober around you and seeing the lights come back on and slowly piece by piece that self-esteem rebuilds, it's just so magical to experience and watch.
What happens when success on the outside masks a battle within? Christina Galbato, a powerhouse entrepreneur behind 'Create Her Empire', shares her deeply personal journey from battling a hidden alcohol addiction to embracing sobriety. In this episode of 'Behind The Smile', host Ash Butterss and Christina dive into the stark realities of living with addiction while maintaining a successful career.
Christina opens up about how her secret struggle took a toll on her mental and physical health, strained her relationships, and shattered her self-esteem. Despite her outward achievements, she was fighting a silent war, hiding behind a facade of smiles. Now, nearly three years sober, Christina prioritizes her personal development and is more committed to her recovery than ever before.
The conversation touches on various stages of her journey, including the early days of denial, the turning points, and the milestones in her path to sobriety. They also discuss the complexities of dating while sober and how Christina's newfound clarity has transformed her approach to relationships and personal growth. This episode is a candid and heartfelt exploration of overcoming addiction, finding strength in vulnerability, and the ongoing commitment to a healthier, more authentic life.
