How do you find your way back to yourself after years of struggle? In this heartfelt episode of The Unruffled Podcast, hosts Sondra Primeaux and Tammi Salas sit down with Nicole Baker, who shares her powerful story of overcoming addiction and finding what truly matters in life. Nicole opens up about her past battles with alcohol, the pain of abusive relationships, and the trials of being a single mother.
She delves into the importance of creating safe spaces for recovery and how these havens played a crucial role in her journey to sobriety. Nicole doesn't shy away from discussing the ongoing challenges of staying sober. She highlights the benefits of physical wellness, spirituality, and self-care as pillars that support her recovery.

In a particularly touching moment, Nicole shares three key items from her 'Unruffled Toolbox' that have been instrumental in her recovery: intermittent fasting inspired by 'The Obesity Code' by Dr. Jason Fung, meditation guided by 'Why Buddhism is True' by Robert Wright, and the simple yet profound act of tending her own garden.
Each of these practices has helped her rebuild her life, one step at a time. Join Sondra and Tammi for an empowering conversation filled with honesty, hope, and practical advice. Nicole's journey is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of finding what truly matters in life.
