It's so freeing because now I have the opportunity to change my life, I can choose a new way of thinking, a new way of behaving, a new way of relating, a new way of dealing with stress, a new way of dealing with my emotions and addressing them and having language to them and labeling them and saying: yes, that happened, but it doesn't define me.
Ever thought someone who seems to have it all could be battling inner demons? Meet Irene Rollins, a pastor, emotional health coach, and author of 'Reframe Your Shame: Experience Freedom from What Holds You Back'. Irene's life looked picture-perfect: a thriving church, a loving husband, and three wonderful kids. But when she reintroduced alcohol into her life after a decade of sobriety, things took a dark turn.
She didn't see her drinking as problematic, believing it was just a way to cope with stress. However, her dependency grew, leading to turmoil in her family and marriage. It wasn't until a close circle of friends and family intervened that Irene sought help. In rehab, she faced the root causes of her addiction, including unresolved childhood trauma. Today, Irene has been sober for years and leads a ministry with her husband called Two Equals One.
Her story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible and that addressing emotional health is crucial in overcoming addiction. Tune in to hear Irene's inspiring journey and her insights on breaking the stigma of addiction.
