Angela Pugh, the savvy sober entrepreneur and professional coach behind the Addiction Unlimited podcast, takes on the relentless inner critic in this episode.

She shares personal stories, like her own struggles with self-worth and the damaging narratives she carried from childhood. Angela’s candid reflections make this episode relatable and eye-opening.
