After 11 years in the corporate world, I started to have self-doubt. If this is what I worked so hard for, why am I not happy?
Nick Jonsson's journey from corporate success to rock bottom is both eye-opening and deeply relatable. After climbing the corporate ladder for 11 years, Nick found himself unfulfilled and full of self-doubt. This led to a resignation, a divorce, and a spiral into heavy drinking as a way to cope with his emotions and stress. Nick's health began to deteriorate, and it was at this low point that he realised he needed help.
He opened up to his new wife, sought medical assistance, and joined a 12-step programme. His story is a testament to the power of vulnerability and the importance of seeking support when facing addiction. Now, nearly seven years sober, Nick is an executive and sobriety coach, studying psychology to become a therapist. He works with corporates across Asia to address vulnerability, burnout, and connection, using his own experiences to inspire others.
This episode of Tribe Sober is a compelling listen for anyone struggling with alcohol or looking to understand the importance of vulnerability in recovery. It’s packed with insights and practical advice on how to overcome addiction and build a healthier, more fulfilling life.
