Andrea Owen's Journey: Sobriety, Intuition, and Healing Through Writing
I think that is a way to get back to your intuition, back to trusting your own thinking, if that makes sense.
What happens when a life coach, author, and podcast host sits down to share her personal journey with sobriety? You get an episode packed with raw honesty and practical wisdom. In this episode of The Unruffled Podcast, hosts Sondra Primeaux and Tammi Salas welcome Andrea Owen, a certified life coach and author of 'How To Stop Feeling Like Sh*t'.
Andrea opens up about her own path to sobriety, likening it to jumping off a bus before it crashes into a wall. Her story is one many can relate to, filled with emotional hurdles and the challenge of addressing underlying issues like grief and parenting. Andrea dives deep into the emotional work that has shaped her journey and how it has influenced her career in helping women overcome obstacles to happiness.
She also shares the tools she relies on, including trusted friends, writing, and a unique piece of software called Ommwriter. A significant part of the conversation focuses on distinguishing between intuition and those nagging thoughts you shouldn't trust. Andrea finds poetry to be a powerful tool for healing, different from her self-help writing but equally important. The episode wraps up with a discussion on gratitude in recovery and the value of human connection.
This episode offers a blend of heartfelt stories and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating their own sobriety journey.
