I wondered so often how I would possibly ever get out from the shame. But the other thing that I think helps so much is: I have talked about my story so much that I have distance from it.
What happens when a mother's journey to sobriety is filled with shame and guilt? In this heartfelt episode of the Soberful podcast, Veronica Valli sits down with Laura McKowen to unpack her deeply personal story. Laura opens up about the heavy burden of shame and guilt she carried due to her drinking and its impact on her daughter. She candidly shares how she found sobriety and the 'missing piece' in her therapy and self-healing process.
Laura's belief that those who have faced such profound pain are 'the lucky ones' offers a unique perspective on motivation and resilience. The conversation dives into the importance of healing trauma physically, letting go of self-obsession, and finding gratitude even in the darkest times. Through sharing her story, Laura has managed to distance herself from the overwhelming shame and guilt, providing a beacon of hope for others on similar paths.
Tune in for an inspiring and moving discussion that highlights the power of vulnerability and storytelling in recovery.
