How are we ever going to make changes unless we bring ourselves up our energy level up? Then we have more choices on how we can behave.
Ginger Berkelhamer’s story is a compelling mix of privilege and hardship. Raised in New York City with every advantage, her life took a dark turn when she started drinking at age 12. By night, she was caught up in the wild scenes of nightclubs and drugs, even working at the legendary Studio 54 during high school. Fast forward to adulthood, and Ginger found herself in a suburban life that was far from fulfilling.
Her battle with addiction hit rock bottom after the birth of her daughter, leading her to Alcoholics Anonymous on May 22, 2000. Since then, she hasn’t looked back. In this episode of 'Miracles in Recovery', Ginger shares how energy leadership has been a cornerstone in her recovery journey. She emphasizes the importance of proximity in finding support, recounting how she attended meetings within five miles of her home.
The drives to and from these meetings provided her with valuable reflection time, contributing to her personal growth. Ginger’s work now focuses on helping married women in recovery tackle core issues like anger and shame. She’s developed an online course designed to help women understand and manage their emotions better. Ginger believes that our thoughts are the drivers of our emotions and that getting to the root of these thoughts can lead to a less stressful life.
One of the most powerful moments in the episode is when Ginger talks about gratitude. She explains how focusing on what we have, rather than what we lack, can be transformative. This mindset has been crucial in her own recovery and is something she imparts to her clients. If you’re looking for inspiration and practical advice on overcoming addiction, this episode offers both.
Ginger’s insights into energy leadership and her heartfelt stories make this a must-listen for anyone on the path to recovery.
