Did you stop taking care of yourself when the baby was born, when a situation happened and substance use disorder came in? When there were deeper issues that you were trying to solve, but everybody else's needs took over? And so you quit healing, you quit seeking healing, you quit even talking about healing, you stopped going to the doctor, you stopped exercising, you stopped eating. Maybe you're not even sleeping.
Ever feel like you've lost yourself while juggling life's many roles? Tanya and Jerry Gioia dive into this all-too-common struggle in their podcast, 'Sober on Purpose'. This episode zooms in on the concept of self-care and how crucial it is for those in recovery. Tanya opens up about her own journey, using the biblical story of Mary and Martha to highlight the challenges women face in putting themselves first.
It's not just about pampering; it's about rediscovering who you are beyond the labels of parent, partner, or person in recovery. The discussion is heartfelt and relatable, making it clear that self-compassion isn't a luxury—it's a necessity. If you're looking for practical advice wrapped in genuine empathy, this episode is a must-listen. Plus, you'll get an invitation to join the supportive Rise Above Addiction community, where you can connect with others on the same path to rediscovery.
