In this engaging episode of the Sober.Coffee Podcast, hosts Mike and Glenn welcome coach and author Chris Janssen for an enlightening discussion on life transitions, relapse, and the journey to sobriety. Chris, who has written the book 'Grace Yourself; How to show up for the sober life you want', shares her experiences and the valuable lessons she learned from her own battle with alcohol addiction.
The conversation is filled with personal anecdotes, practical advice, and some light-hearted moments that keep the tone friendly and relatable. Chris explains how she found it easier to stay sober than to get sober, which became the foundation of her writing. She touches on themes like perfectionism, shame, and the importance of community in maintaining sobriety. You'll also hear about her 'research sabbatical' during the pandemic, which led to a relapse but ultimately provided deeper insights into her recovery process.
The episode wraps up with Chris offering practical exercises from her book designed to help listeners build the sober life they want. If you're on a sober journey or supporting someone who is, this episode is a must-listen for its honest and compassionate take on the ups and downs of recovery.
