In this episode of Recovering Out Loud, we dive into a raw and honest conversation about relapse, body language, hidden pain, and the transformation that happens when recovery is paired with purpose.
We unpack the moment a friend could see a relapse coming before the person struggling could even admit it. We talk about the shame, denial, and the sixth-sense intuition people in recovery often develop.
From 48-hour blackouts to becoming a coach who helps people rebuild their relationship with movement, she shares how fitness became a powerful anchor in sobriety — but also how it can become obsessive, toxic, and another addiction if we’re not careful.
We explore:
• How childhood pressure + performance can shape addiction
• Why your body language reveals everything you try to hide
• How community workouts mimic recovery meetings
• The rise of steroids, Ozempic, and “fitness as numbing” in sobriety
• Workaholism, burnout, money stress, and staying spiritually grounded
• How to move from extrinsic validation to intrinsic values
• Why recovery is “six garbage cans with five lids”
If you’re navigating sobriety, struggling with body image, stuck in obsessive fitness cycles, or looking for community — this episode is for you.
Listen, share, and join the recovery conversation.
