So sometimes there's a redirection and what we think is a failure, right, and the last one is reflection, and reflection is the hardest one to look at as far as a gift, because a lot of times it's holding up the mirror and looking at ourselves and really capturing how much we've grown, and seeing our vulnerable sides and seeing the rawness that exists, and being willing to share that- and I think for me, that has been my gift- is that I am so open.
What happens when a seven-time career changer turns her life around to help others find their true purpose? Meet Kari Schwear, a dynamic Executive Coach, Speaker, and Corporate Trainer, who shares her compelling story on this episode of Matt Gardiner LIVE. Kari's professional journey is as diverse as it is inspiring, spanning industries from hospitality to luxury automotive brands. But it was her personal battle with alcohol that truly transformed her path.
In 2018, Kari founded GrayTonic and the Question the Drink movement, aiming to support those struggling with 'gray area drinking'āa term she uses to describe the often-overlooked middle ground between social drinking and full-blown addiction. With certifications in Motivational Interviewing, Life Coaching, and trauma courses, Kari brings a wealth of knowledge to her coaching practice. In this episode, she opens up about the power of self-reflection and vulnerability in the recovery process.
She discusses how our words and beliefs shape our behaviors and delves into the profound impact of childhood experiences on addiction and identity. Kari also highlights the importance of embracing failure as a growth opportunity, introducing her concept of 'problem-tunities', which includes redirection, release, revelation, and reflection. Through her own experiences and professional insights, Kari emphasizes the transformative power of morning routines and self-care practices in laying a solid foundation for recovery.
Her story is a testament to the strength found in vulnerability and the incredible potential for growth when we dare to look inward. Tune in to hear Kari's inspiring journey and discover practical tips for navigating your own path to recovery and purpose.
