From Marketing Exec to Recovery Coach: Sophie Roya's Transformative Journey
And it was a model that was designed to create, essentially at home, rehab programs for people that you know either can't or don't want to go to rehab. And, and so, even though you know, we can start building on to these huge goals like running a marathon or, you know, doing something like that, actually, if we go all the way back to early, early recovery, some of those goals can be incredibly effective, even if they're tiny: making a bed, doing gratitude list, going to a step meeting.
Ever wondered how someone transitions from a high-flying marketing career to becoming a beacon of hope in addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Recovery Revolution Live', Sophie Roya opens up about her incredible journey. Raised between Switzerland and the UK, Sophie found herself ensnared in a culture where alcohol was omnipresent. Her drinking spiraled out of control, leading her to seek help in an unexpected place—Bali.
There, she spent six transformative months with a recovery coach, learning the importance of routines and practical tools for living an alcohol-free life. Now based in Australia, Sophie is not just a survivor but a guide for others navigating their own recovery journeys. She founded 'The Wolf You Feed', a coaching practice that empowers individuals to embrace long-term sobriety. Sophie's story is a testament to the power of setting small, achievable goals, especially in the early stages of recovery.
She also co-founded 'From Here On', offering bespoke rehab programs tailored for executives who might find traditional rehab settings challenging. Join hosts Brett Morris, Ashley Grimes, Jason Rudeen, Rev. LC Currie, and JR Weaver as they dive into Sophie's story. They discuss the nuances of highly functioning addiction and the unique challenges it presents. If you're looking for inspiration and practical advice on maintaining sobriety, this episode is a must-listen.
It's a heartfelt conversation that underscores the possibility of finding purpose and joy on the other side of addiction.
