From Chaos to Clarity: Dora Gosselin's Journey to Sobriety
I'm very passionate about sharing my message and turning my mess into my message.
Imagine walking away from three decades of substance abuse and finding the courage to share your story with the world. That's exactly what Dora Gosselin did, and in this episode of 'Beyond Recovery', she sits down with host Matt Gardiner to talk about her transformation. Dora is the voice behind Soberoso, a podcast born during the pandemic—a time when isolation hit addicts especially hard. Her mission?
To break the silence around addiction and mental health, and turn her past struggles into a beacon of hope for others. Growing up in a Christian family, Dora rebelled early and turned to drugs and alcohol as a way to cope. But instead of letting her past define her, she chose to use it as fuel for change. Throughout the episode, Dora opens up about the challenges she faced while launching Soberoso during such an isolating time.
She shares how staying present and practicing mindfulness became crucial tools in her recovery. Dora also talks about the power of vulnerability and why sharing your story can be a game-changer in the journey to sobriety. This episode isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about embracing every part of your journey, even the messy bits, and finding strength in vulnerability. Dora’s story is a testament to the idea that it's never too late to turn your life around.
Whether you're struggling with addiction, supporting someone who is, or simply looking for some inspiration, Dora's journey offers valuable insights and a whole lot of hope.
