So that really spoke to me when it comes to my own recovery journey, but also moving forward as a coach. You know, it's all about which wolf that we feed, life generally, but also especially in recovery.
What if the secret to recovery lies in a simple yet powerful parable? In this episode of 'Beyond Recovery', host Matt Gardiner sits down with Sophie Aghdami, an Addiction Recovery Coach and Brand Strategist, to unravel her unique approach to overcoming addiction. Sophie, who has lived in Switzerland, the UK, and now Australia, brings a wealth of personal and professional experience to the table.
Her journey from a high-functioning addict to a beacon of hope for others is nothing short of inspiring. Sophie’s coaching practice, 'The Wolf You Feed', is based on the idea that within each of us are two wolves: one representing our darker impulses and the other our capacity for love and compassion. She explains how feeding the right wolf can lead to a balanced and fulfilling life in recovery.
Her story is a testament to the power of personal transformation and the importance of understanding both sides of ourselves. Drawing from her extensive background in marketing with prestigious brands like the Royal Albert Hall and Heston Blumenthal’s restaurant group, Sophie shares how she transitioned from corporate success to helping others find freedom from addiction.
Her insights into maintaining long-term recovery are rooted in her own experiences and her holistic approach, which includes mind-body-spirit connections and integrating family and workplace dynamics. Sophie also discusses her work with 'From Here On', a coaching practice offering one-on-one sessions, retreats, online programs, and post-rehab aftercare. Her mission is to normalize conversations about addiction in professional settings, removing the stigma and fostering pride in recovery journeys.
If you're looking for a blend of practical advice, heartfelt stories, and a touch of wisdom from ancient parables, this episode is a must-listen.
