IT IS TRUE LIFE CAN SUCK! This is my calling, the journey has been challenging, but it has been worth it.
What does it take to turn life's toughest challenges into a mission to help others? In this episode of 'Knockin' Doorz Down', host Jason LaChance sits down with Helen Bratton, an addiction recovery coach whose life story is nothing short of remarkable. Helen opens up about her traumatic childhood, struggles with alcoholism, and a near-death stroke that changed everything. At just 36, Helen found herself rebuilding her life as a disabled woman.
She lost her marriage but gained a new sense of purpose. Faced with the choice between letting alcoholism consume her or fighting for a better life, Helen chose recovery. Her journey began with a 12-step program, but it was her determination and resilience that truly set her on the path to becoming a recovery coach. Throughout the episode, Helen shares valuable insights on recognizing the signs of addiction, building self-esteem, and managing depression and anxiety.
She also touches on the importance of finding your 'why'—the reason that keeps you going even when times are tough. Despite the heavy topics, the conversation is sprinkled with moments of lightness and humor, making it both inspiring and engaging. If you're looking for a story of resilience and transformation, this episode is a must-listen.
