Finding Strength in Pain: Cathy Webber's Journey Through Addiction and Recovery

I strongly believe that we begin to heal where one, we're in a space where we feel safe and out of harm's way. Two, we're able to identify our core wounds, things like worthiness, self-love, fear of abandonment and understand what really happened to us.
Imagine if instead of viewing addiction as a curse, we saw it as a message. In this thought-provoking episode of 'This Little Light of Mine', James Powell sits down with Cathy Webber to discuss how pain and addiction can be transformative. Cathy, who has faced spiritual and sexual abuse, opens up about how her early life experiences fueled negative self-talk and an unforgiving inner critic.
But this conversation isn't just about the darkness; it's about finding light and healing in unexpected places. Cathy and James delve into how faith can play a crucial role in recovery, the significance of creating safe spaces, and the importance of mental health support. They also touch on how the pandemic has surprisingly made resources more accessible and less daunting for many.
This episode offers a fresh perspective on addiction, urging listeners to pause and get curious about what their struggles might be trying to tell them. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights and a sense of hope.
