Why You Can't "Force" Your Healing: From Survival to Safety Are you trying too hard to heal? In the final part of my healing journey trilogy, I reveal a counterintuitive truth: the harder we push, the harder it is for our bodies to recover. Many of us treat healing like a discipline, controlling our diets, pushing through fatigue and demanding results but your body cannot heal while it is in survival mode.In this episode, we explore:The Nervous System: Why safety is a feeling, not a thought.The Wisdom of Symptoms: Decoding the messages behind eczema, thyroid issues, and adrenal burnout.Depression as "Deep Rest": Re-framing mental health struggles as a biological cry for stillness.The Power of Allowing: Shifting from "doing" to "being" to turn off your body's red alert.If you've been your own harshest critic, it's time to stop pushing and start listening. Learn how to cooperate with your body and provide the safety it needs to finally heal.Key Information 00:18 — The Healing Trilogy: Reflecting on the journey from where I was to where I am now.00:39 — The Myth of "Effort": Why trying harder and being more disciplined can actually prevent healing.01:43 — Survival vs. Safety: Understanding that the body heals only when it no longer feels the need to protect itself.02:30 — The Nervous System: Safety is a feeling in the body, not a scientific concept or a logical thought.03:22 — Rest is Not Lazy: Re-framing rest as a necessary form of self-care and a signal of safety to the brain.04:58 — Listening to Body Wisdom: Shifting from looking for external solutions to listening to internal messages.05:16 — Decoding Symptoms: Eczema, Adrenal Fatigue, Thyroid07:05 — Depression as "Deep Rest": A powerful re-framing of depression as the body's desperate cry for stillness.07:46 — Cooperating with the Body: Learning to treat yourself with the same kindness you offer others.08:35 — A Message for Those Still Healing: Why not being "healed yet" isn't a failure, but a learning process for your body.Who am I?Sarah Dawkins is a passionate Holistic Health and Healing Coach, international speaker and author of Heal Yourself.

Nursing education programs across the US continue to face ongoing shortages of nursing faculty. This study examined salary differences between nursing faculty and other nurses using 2022 National Sample Survey of Registered Nurses data and identified specific factors contributing to these disparities. The adjusted annual salary of nursing faculty was $18,346 less than staff nurses, $19,863 less than charge nurses, and $27,526 less than front-line managers. Persistent salary disparities between nursing faculty and other nursing roles discourage nurses from pursuing academic careers. This article is OPEN Access: download the article and share widely.

The Stories We Tell Ourselves: How Your Subconscious Shapes Your HealthDiscover how your childhood "life filters" shape your physical health in the second part of this trilogy with myself, Sarah Dawkins. Learn how the subconscious mind stores early experiences as truth, triggering the nervous system and creating physical symptoms as a survival strategy. Explore why your body isn't "broken," but rather responding perfectly to the stories you believe.Key Takeaways00:15: Introduction: The Healing Trilogy Sarah introduces part two of her series, shifting the focus from identifying "stories" to understanding how they manifest physically and mentally.00:51: The Formation of "Life Filters" A breakdown of how childhood experiences (between the ages of 0 and 7) and the opinions of others are stored in the subconscious as absolute truths.01:42: Seeing the World Through Lenses Sarah introduces the metaphor of "life glasses"—how our subconscious beliefs act as filters that shape our entire perception of reality.02:26: The Body as a Protector A look at the biological side of belief: how the body prepares for "threats" based on what the mind perceives as true, even if that threat is an old memory.03:35: Why We Respond to Meaning, Not Reality An explanation of why triggers make us angry or sad. We aren't responding to the event itself, but to the meaning we've assigned to it through our past experiences.04:40 Survival Strategies & Self-Sabotage The subconscious mind's primary goal is belonging and safety. Sarah discusses how behaviors like perfectionism and "not speaking out" are actually learned safety mechanisms.05:44: Symptoms as Self-Preservation A powerful shift in perspective: physical symptoms are not "faults" but strategies the body uses to stay vigilant and alert.06:25 Softening the Story The takeaway: nothing needs "fixing." Simply becoming conscious of the story allows the nervous system to soften, relax, and breathe.06:51 Closing Thoughts Sarah asks the final, provocative question: "What if your body has been responding perfectly to what it believed was true?"Who am I?Sarah Dawkins is a passionate Holistic Health and Healing Coach, international speaker and author of Heal Yourself.

Healing MS Naturally: Bridging Science and Soul Can you truly reclaim your health from the inside out?In this episode of Mind Body Medicine for Self Healers, I sit down with holistic transformation guide Christine Ruch to discuss her incredible 20-year journey of healing Multiple Sclerosis (MS) naturally.After moving beyond mainstream medicine, Christine utilized nervous system restoration, whole-food nutrition and spiritual practices to reconnect with her body's innate wisdom. We dive deep into the connection between autoimmune disease and the nervous system, the importance of emotional capacity and why "remodelling" your relationship with your emotions is a primary key to lasting transformation. Whether you are living with MS or seeking holistic healing for chronic illness, this conversation offers grounded practices to move from symptom management to true inner healing.Key Takeaways 01:50 Early Red Flags & Body Sensitivity Before her MS diagnosis, Christine struggled with weight issues, severe skin conditions (rosacea and eczema) & environmental allergies, signs that her body was already in a state of high sensitivity.04:31 The "Missing Piece": Nervous System Regulation After years of focusing on diet and lifestyle, Christine realized that nervous system work was the most overlooked part of her journey. She explains why this should be an integral part of healing not just "woo-woo" support.08:13 Eliminating Common Inflammatory Triggers: autoimmune conditions start by eliminating "the big four" inflammatory products; refined sugar, gluten, dairy and often egg products.08:57 The Role of Emotional Trauma: How a "disordered nervous system" and unprocessed emotional stress can feed autoimmune conditions and prevent the body from entering a healing state.10:18 Building "Emotional Capacity": We are not our emotions. Learning to hold space for uncomfortable feelings without creating a "story" or an "identity" around them is a foundational step in recovery.18:31 Developing a Body-Language Dialogue: The importance of listening to your body like a "newborn infant"—with curiosity and tenderness—to move from a place of fear to a place of internal trust.28:56 The "Type A" Stress Identity: Christine used to "thrive on stress" as a high-achieving chef, only to realize later that her high-pressure lifestyle was kept in service of a dysregulated nervous system.Christine's Bio Christine Ruch is a Holistic Transformation Guide who helps people with health conditions reconnect to their body's innate wisdom and healing potential. After spending 20 years healing her own MS naturally through whole food nutrition, nervous system restoration, spiritual practice, plant medicine, deep self-inquiry and many other Eastern and Western modalities, Christine now guides others on their own transformative healing path. Her work bridges science and soul—offering tools to move beyond symptom management and into lasting inner healing. She's here to share insight, hope, and grounded practices for listeners ready to reclaim their health from the inside out.Connect with Christine https://ChristineRuch.comInstagram: @ChristineRuch.MSSubstack: ChristineRuch.substack.comWho am I?Sarah Dawkins is a passionate Holistic Health and Healing Coach, international speaker and author of Heal Yourself.

In this episode, Kimberly speaks with Jane Hardwicke Collings, a post-menopausal grandmother, former midwife, and founder of the School of Shamanic Womancraft. They explore how the lessons learned from the natural childbirth movement must now be applied to menopause, discussing what Jane calls "sage-escence," the becoming of the wise woman. Jane shares her journey from hospital nurse to home birth midwife, how her midwifery awakened her to the patriarchy's medicalization of women's bodies, and why she sees a natural menopause movement emerging. They dive deep into the connections between all rites of passage, from menstruation to birth to menopause, and examine how unresolved trauma surfaces during these transitions. The conversation also explores sexuality and the erotic through life's seasons, the impact of childhood trauma on menopausal symptoms, body shame, aging, and the cultural pressure toward hormone therapy versus embracing natural processes.

Because what if the thing holding you back isn't your content, your offer, or your consistency… What if it's your nervous system capacity? Timea breaks down how dysregulation, trapped emotion, and subconscious safety patterns can cap how much success, money, visibility, and expansion your body feels safe to hold — and why your next level requires more than just “trying harder.” If you've ever found yourself self-sabotaging right when things start going well, procrastinating the moment you get momentum, or feeling burnt out from constantly pushing… this episode is for you. In this episode, we cover: ✨ Why your nervous system can create an invisible “ceiling” on your growth ✨ The small cup metaphor — and what it really means for scaling your business ✨ Why your body can prefer a “familiar hell” over the unknown of success ✨ How childhood programming (0–7 years) shapes what feels safe in money, love, and worth ✨ The real reason high-achieving women plateau even when they're doing everything “right” ✨ How to stop forcing growth and start expanding your capacity to hold it ✨ The difference between regulation vs expansion (and why both matter) Connect with Timea www.theurbanhealer.ca @the.urban.healer https://www.instagram.com/the.urban.healer Discover Your Joy with Timea Urban Podcast https://redcircle.com/shows/c6601a3c-c93b-4539-9ea1-9f1844921f6d Download: Consistent $10K Month Method WORK WITH CHRISTINE: Buy my new book: Turn Impostor Syndrome Into Your Superpower Download: Consistent $10K Month Method Connect with Christine on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/christinecorcoran_coach/ Book a Discovery Call with Christine here Join the waitlist for the next round of Unstoppable Sales HERE Join the waitlist for the next round of NEXT LEVEL Mastermind HERE Christine's website https://christinecorcoran.com.au/

Have you ever been told that a health condition is something you simply have to "manage" for the rest of your life? That the only way forward is through lifelong medication and constant vigilance?Today's guest, Kathryn Waldrom found herself at that exact crossroads. After a routine health check-up, Kathryn was diagnosed with diabetes and prescribed medication without a second thought. But Kathryn chose a different path, one of remembrance, presence, and deep listening.In this episode, we explore Kathryn's journey of refusing to treat her body as a "problem to be fixed." Instead, she began to look at the "loops" we live inside, the stress, the grief of losing her parents and the emotional fallout of a ending marriage. Key Information:03:35 The Stress-Glucose Connection: How cortisol and deep-seated emotions like "lack of love" manifest physically in our blood sugar levels.15:36 Radical Self-Acceptance: Moving from a state of "reaction" to one of "response" and peace.18:40 Dropping the Labels: The power of shifting from "I am a diabetic" to "I am having an experience."24:45 The Gift of Symptoms: How to thank our bodies for their signals rather than hating the condition.35:10 Reaction mode versus responding: Seeing and respecting emotions.Kathryn doesn't call herself a healer or a teacher; she speaks of a "signal restoration", a way of coming back home to oneself. This conversation isn't about doing more or trying harder, it's about what softens when we stop fighting our own bodies.Kathryn' s BioKathryn (Kya) is not a teacher, healer, or guide, she is a field of remembrance.From early life, she carried the question, How do I behave here?, not from confusion, but from awareness entering form. She did not forget what she was, but chose to walk through distortion as presence, quietly witnessing how systems shape identity and loop belief.Her vision of the Murky Sea was not metaphor, but direct knowing. In it, she stood at the edge of a vast dark ocean, not water, but thought-form. The sea was made of loops, emotional echo, ancestral code, identity scaffolds, memory mistaken as truth. She saw that most never leave it. They swim, strive, seek clarity, but remain inside. The sea is not malevolent. It simply loops. And until it is seen as illusion, it feels like life itself.From this vision came Signal Restoration, not a method, but a field. A soft return. It does not heal, guide, or fix. It ends the pretending.Kathryn does not offer awakening. She lives it. And in that presence, the loop dissolves.She offers private Signal Restoration bookings in person, by quiet invitation only. These are not advertised or promoted. They are felt, and followed, by those ready to return.She lives in Spain and is not in a role. She is what remains when roles fall away.Connect with Kathryn https://www.facebook.com/kathryn.waldrom.1 Who am I?Sarah Dawkins is a passionate Holistic Health and Healing Coach, international speaker and author of Heal Yourself.

We love the little synchronicities that the universe throws out there. Like publishing this episode right after our previous episode - completely unplanned. If you missed our last episode, we spoke with Jessicca Moore, the creator of the documentary, “Why Not Home?” a film that explores the decisions of hospital birth care providers (nurses, doctors, midwives, etc.) who chose home birth.  Well in this episode, we have Alyssa's story. The synchronicity that we mentioned? Alyssa is a registered nurse, with most of her experience in the postpartum and nursery units. Our conversation with Alyssa is the perfect follow up to our interview with Jessicca last week, where we talk about birth professionals choosing home birth. Alyssa is this person! How awesome is that? And Alyssa is super knowledgeable. We were just in awe of all the information she has and can rattle off. There's so much that we included parts of her emails and additional resources in the extra notes with the episode on our website.  Alyssa shares her passion for birth with us along with her journey of pregnancy and birth for her daughter Zoey with her husband Chris. They actually switched over to a home birth plan and midwifery model of care in the third trimester (so it's never too late for you to use the care provider that aligns best with you!). Like many of our guests, Chris and Alyssa watched “Business of Being Born.” Chris's response, “We can do this. Let's just do it at home!” We like his style! Alyssa has firsthand experience of what it feels like to choose home birth, when you work in an environment that does not typically support it. Fears, reactions and judgements from friends, family, co-workers come up in our talk. Also what evidence-based practice is about, the details around informed consent and why birth is not a pathological process. Alyssa's amazing birth experience and fascinating perspective given her profession make this a must-listen episode!

What do you do when you're told there's nothing left to be done and medicine cannot save you? For Diane Langlois, a terminal diagnosis of Stage 4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma wasn't the end, it was the beginning of a 30-year journey into the power of the human spirit.In this episode, I sit down with Diane and discuss the moment she looked at her five young children and decided she wasn't going anywhere. Diane reminds us that we aren't broken machines in need of a mechanic, we are vibrant beings with an innate ability to heal. Join us for a conversation that will change the way you listen to your own body.Episode Highlights01:23 – The "Nothing More We Can Do" moment: Diane recounts her 1995 diagnosis of Stage 4 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. She describes the chilling moment doctors told her there were no medical options left and sent her home to say her goodbyes.06:29 – Healing vs. Fixing Diane explains her core philosophy: the body isn't a machine that needs "fixing" by an external expert. Instead, it is a powerful system that, when given the right tools and lifestyle, has the innate ability to restore itself.08:27 – Tuning into the "Whispers" A lesson in body literacy. Diane explains that physical symptoms are not the body being "mean," but are actually "whispers" and cries for help that we must learn to listen to before they become "screams."10:51 – The Engine Light Analogy As a metaphor for modern medicine: taking a pill to mask a symptom is like putting a sticker over the "check engine" light in your car. Diane advocates for digging deeper to find the root cause.11:56 – The First Step: Two Minutes of Stillness For those overwhelmed by the idea of "healing," Diane offers a simple starting point: sitting in silence for just two minutes to reconnect the mind with the body.18:02 – The Healing Power of Sound: Diane discusses the science of frequency, explaining how simple acts like humming can stimulate the vagus nerve and increase nitric oxide levels to promote internal balance.23:55 – The Importance of "Your People" Diane emphasizes that healing doesn't happen in isolation.

Do you ever use the term “brainiac” to describe someone who’s super smart? We use a term like that because we tend to assume that someone is either highly intelligent, or they’re not. In other words, you’re either lucky enough to be born with a high-functioning brain that can get you into Harvard, or not. Well, guess what? Like pretty much everything else on earth, it’s not that simple. And by “it” I mean getting into Harvard, and the human brain itself. Let’s start with the brain, then move onto Harvard. Judy Weber is a Registered Nurse at a company called Cingulum Health, in New Orleans. Cingulum Health specializes in a kind of neurotherapy called TMS – Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. TMS has been around for some time. It’s an FDA approved therapy which consists of giving a patient non-invasive electrical stimulation to the brain, to treat what is technically called “treatment resistant depression,” or OCD, or migraines. What separates Cingulum Health from other TMS providers is the range of conditions they’re treating beyond depression, OCD and migraines, and the course of treatment they offer. Each course begins with the patient getting a Functional MRI, then having this brain scan interpreted by Cingulum’s proprietary software which then maps out an individual course of neurotherapy treatment. And the conditions they’re treating include Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s, stroke, tinnitus, and addiction. Now, as promised, we turn to Harvard. We all know that natural intelligence alone isn’t enough to get through high school and into a good college. Not only do you have to study, but the final arbiter of admission to a good college is getting a high score on the ACT. For a long time there’s been general acceptance that, like other tests, the ACT has an element of unwittingly systemic bias that makes it more difficult for certain sub-sets of students to do well. But even knowing that, it’s extraordinary to discover what Angelica Harris is up to. When Angelica first took the SAT she got a score of 16. Which is not high enough to get anywhere near an Ivy League school. She went to a test prep course, and raised her score by 2 points. Still not too good. Figuring that the problem was, she was the only Black girl in a predominantly white environment, Angelica developed her own prep system. The next time she took the test she got 32. That got Angelica into Washington University in St Louis. On graduation with a masters degree she turned her own college success into a college admission prep system for Black and Brown high school students, called Top Tutors For Us. With a business whose success can be proven by easy-to-digest numbers, Top Tutors For Us is being adopted by a growing number of school districts. Significantly, not a single school district that has adopted the system has dropped it, so business is booming. There’s two ways of looking at the path of scientific discovery. In one perspective, one small discovery leads to an incremental change, which taken together with lots of other small contributions, leads to advancement. The other perspective is, the status quo rolls on for years or decades, then someone comes along who completely changes the game and revolutionizes everything. Of course, both of those are true. Whether or not Top Tutors for Us and Angelica, and Cingulum and Judy are incremental contributors or game-changing revolutionaries, only time will tell. What we do know for now, though, is that they’re both making a significant difference to their respective fields, and to the lives of New Orleanians. Out to Lunch was recorded live over lunch at Columns in Uptown New Orleans.

Host: Jeffrey BeseckerGuest: D' Layne Benson, Registered Nurse and Therapeutic Breathwork FacilitatorIn this episode of The Light Inside, we delve into the concept of "false calm" and its implications for emotional regulation and mental health. Our guest, D' Layne Benson, shares her insights on how over-resourcing and cognitive control can mute adaptive feedback signals, leading to short-term quiet but long-term signal loss.We explore how containment and pacing can build capacity, reduce rupture, and allow coherence to emerge without interpretive intrusion. D' Layne explains that true regulation isn't about feeling better but about staying present with what's activated. We discuss how false calm can keep individuals disconnected and how to recognize it in real-time.D' Layne shares her experiences as a registered nurse and how they led her to explore the role of overfunctioning in high-stress careers like healthcare. She highlights the common trend among caregivers who often neglect their own emotional regulation while focusing on others.We also touch on the concept of functional freeze, where individuals appear composed on the outside but are in a state of internal shutdown. D' Layne provides practical advice on how to notice and address these states, both in oneself and in clients.Throughout the episode, we discuss the importance of relational attunement, the impact of early childhood neural imprints on our perception of safety and threat, and the role of cognitive override in burnout. D' Layne emphasizes the need for scheduling rest and reflection, especially for high-performing individuals who use productivity as a defense against emotional discomfort.Finally, we explore the nuances of breathwork as a tool for emotional regulation and how it can help individuals reconnect with their bodies in a safe and controlled manner. D' Layne shares her personal journey and how breathwork played a crucial role in her own healing process.Join us as we unpack these complex topics and provide actionable insights for better emotional regulation and mental well-being.Timestamps[00:03:48] False calm and emotional bypassing.[00:04:36] False calm in caregiving.[00:09:12] Observing emotional dysregulation patterns.[00:11:25] Nervous system and safety perception.[00:15:07] Autonomic nervous system dynamics.[00:22:11] Busyness as emotional shield.[00:26:00] Scheduling time for reflection.[00:27:25] Building authentic self-worth.[00:30:31] Safety and internal narratives.[00:35:04] Doxaxic reasoning and bias.[00:39:31] Curiosity about personal biases.[00:42:43] Caregiving and self-neglect.[00:45:51] Breath as a diagnostic tool.[00:51:45] Self-healing and awareness.[00:52:13] Rhythmic breathing's healing power.[00:56:20] Sustainable change through repetition.[01:00:20] Value and meaning in care.CreditsHost: Jeffrey BeseckerGuest: D' Layne BensonExecutive Program Director: Anna GetzProduction Team: Aloft Media GroupMusic: Courtesy of Aloft Media GroupConnect with host Jeffrey Besecker on LinkedIn.

Are you a parent at the end of your rope dealing with your child's complex neurological challenges like tics, Tourette's, ADHD or anxiety?Today, we welcome pioneering functional health expert Dr Piper Gibson, founder of the Regenerating Health and Tic Disorder Institute. Dr Gibson shares her powerful, research-backed journey of helping her own son overcome a transient neurological tic disorder and how she now empowers families globally with a holistic, root-cause approach. Discover why symptoms like tics and anxiety are not random and how underlying issues like gut dysfunction, a dysregulated immune system, environmental toxins and genetics are the true drivers.Key Information 02:33 Discover why neurological symptoms like tics, ADHD and anxiety are not random and how these issues are linked to a dysregulated immune system and root causes beyond typical neurological labels.03:44 Parents often miss the underlying issues (like gut problems, genetics and toxicity) that conventional research overlooks. Learn why treatments must go beyond simple probiotics to address parasites, leaky gut and chronic inflammation.04:51 Understand the powerful and often-overlooked gut-brain axis. Dr Gibson explains how inflammation and leaky gut allow pathogens into the bloodstream, triggering immune cells in the brain and driving neurological symptoms.06:45 Dr Gibson outlines her protocol: first, clean up the environment and change the diet. She emphasizes that detoxing too early on an unsupported gut and body can actually worsen symptoms.10:19 Learn about the specific lab tests used to uncover root causes, including PCR stool pathogen tests, organic acids testing, tests for environmental toxins/heavy metals/mycotoxins (mold) and detailed genetic panels (MTHFR, methylation). 13:09 Genetics are not set in stone. Dr Gibson explains epigenetics, showing how parents can manipulate the child's environment (diet, toxins, supplements) to influence gene expression and effectively "turn off" symptomatic neurological genes. 27:16 #1 Tip: Dr Gibson's top initial tip is to drastically reduce inflammatory sugar and processed foods to immediately support the gut-brain connection and begin the healing process. Piper's Bio Dr Piper Gibson, PhD is a pioneering voice in functional and natural health, specializing in complex neurological conditions like tic disorders, ADHD, and anxiety in children. As the founder of Regenerating Health and the Tic Disorder Institute, she empowers families who are at the end of their rope, offering a research-backed, holistic approach that goes far beyond symptom management.

Are you an empath or a highly sensitive woman struggling with persistent stress, anxiety, and trauma? In this episode we speak with MarBeth Dunn, a leading expert in somatic healing and intuitive energy mastery, and the author of Awaken the Healer Within.MarBeth, who healed her own severe asthma, shares her powerful journey of reconnecting with the body's wisdom to achieve health and emotional freedom. We explore how physical symptoms serve a purpose (protecting us from emotional conflict) and the danger of "pushing through" them.Key information01:44 Marbeth's healing journey was initially prompted by her struggle with severe asthma, which led to constant panicky sensations and an underlying belief that she could find and resolve the root cause.03:03 A pivotal early tool in her self-discovery was learning to use a pendulum to communicate with her subconscious mind, asking yes or no questions to uncover hidden emotions.07:47 A core philosophy is that physical symptoms serve a purpose, often protecting us from unprocessed emotional trauma or conflict. Removing the symptom prematurely can unleash heavy, unaddressed emotions.10:02 Safety first is the most crucial principle when addressing physical symptoms and trauma. One must listen to the body and ensure it feels safe before exploring deep issues to avoid resistance and worsening symptoms.12:56 Marbeth demonstrated healing a potential flu (grief-related) by moving into the feeling, extending love to it and letting it dissipate. Emotional feelings need to be acknowledged to resolve.14:19 Healing happens through love and acceptance, not fighting or striving against symptoms. This shifts the body into the parasympathetic state (rest and digest), promoting calm and healing.25:13 Somatic healing involves using body-based exercises (like rubbing the body, shaking/bouncing, dancing, singing) to naturally release stress and trauma, often without needing to revisit the emotional story.MarBeth Bio MarBeth Dunn is a leading expert in somatic healing and intuitive energy mastery. For over 35 years, she has helped empaths, sensitives and high-achieving women release stress, anxiety and trauma by reconnecting with their bodies and regulating their nervous systems.She is the author of Awaken the Healer Within: Overcome Stress, Anxiety and Illness.

Registered Nurse and Sobriety Coach Kate Vitela is here to remind you that no matter where you are on your sobriety journey, you are always allowed to change. Kate shares the story of how alcohol became a way of life for her as a young nurse and how her attempt at switching to cannabis wound up unraveling her life in a way that led to full sobriety.

This choice led her to unexpected backlash that led her to step away from the program and develop her own. Kate is now a sober coach and sober podcaster focusing on a message that blends science, spirituality, real stories, and humor to create a recovery approach that's authentic and empowering.
