More Episodes

Today my guest Jeannine Lindgren, host of the Chasing Heroine Podcast. She was on a few weeks ago, but we had so much and she has so many relatable stories I just had to invite her back!

But before we jump in, I’m going to offer some resources to help you on your recovery journey. So first, if you are a woman and would like to join my free private women’s group on facebook, just do a search for “The one day at a time private women’s group”. I post other podcasts I listen to in there along with inspirational cards, workshops, and it’s just a nice place to connect with other supportive women.

Another resource I offer is a free pdf called “100 resources for your first 100 days”. There are SO many sober podcasts, books and online support groups available at zero cost and I have put some of my favorites in a list for you so you don’t have to go hunting for them. You can download it by visiting soberlifeschool.com which is my main website. It acts as a hub for the podcast, coaching, classes and you can even book a free 30 minute strategy call if you’d just like some help putting a sobriety plan together. It’s my gift to you!

I often think about you, my friends who listen to all the episodes and leave reviews. I wonder if you even realize how important you are. By taking in information that expands your heart and mind, you are having an important impact on everyone around you. And by sharing episodes and leaving reviews, you are helping others too. Maybe it’s a Mom or Dad who is struggling to be a good parent. Maybe it’s someone who feels lost and alone. You never know who you might be helping just by showing up and doing the work. So I want to take a moment to say thank you. You are stronger than you know and I’m so grateful we are walking this journey together.

And now, please enjoy this conversation with Jeannine!
