Long-term sobriety is a huge deal... We are given the opportunity to actually create a life, and I believe that lots of us had this drive, desire. I certainly had a part of me all the way through my teenage struggles, and I always had a piece of me that was like, 'Ah, this isn't how it's supposed to be.'
Ever wondered how someone can transform their life from the ground up, not just once, but multiple times? Meet Kathryn Metcalf-Hernquist, a coach, author, and speaker who has done just that. In this episode of 'Beyond Recovery', Kathryn sits down with Matt Gardiner to share her extraordinary journey from battling addiction to achieving financial freedom and personal fulfillment. Raised in Chicago and later relocating to California, Kathryn's story is one of resilience and reinvention.
By age 40, she had become a self-made millionaire in real estate, only to shift gears entirely, embracing her passions for painting, world travel, and surfing. She talks about her life in San Diego, where she found love, transformational growth, and a fulfilling second marriage. Kathryn's insights into long-term sobriety are profound. She emphasizes the importance of conscious choices and the power of words in shaping our reality.
The conversation touches on thought-provoking themes like staying mindful, the influence of language on our experiences, and the wisdom of authors like Joe Dispenza and the principles from 'The Four Agreements'. Kathryn also candidly discusses her own relapse experience, providing valuable lessons and setting the stage for a future discussion. If you're curious about how to build a life filled with joy and meaning beyond addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
