The Enlightened Lens
This is a podcast that surrounds self evolution through the act of story-telling, interviewing people along the same trajectory, and encouragement through the process. I cover topics from parenting, to spiritual awareness and growth, to physical and mental health tips to live a healthier lifestyle. Grateful to be sharing my story, in the hopes that as a collective, we can all look through a more vibrant and enlightened lens.
The Enlightened Lens
Overcoming Addiction with Chelsie
In today's episode, I had to honor of having my older sister on the podcast. The reason I wanted to bring Chelsie on is to share her story about her struggles with addiction.
Addiction is a topic in our society that people deliberately avoid and hide from the world. However, addiction is a pandemic that works its powers no matter what race, gender, economic status, etc. Sharing stories is a component of the recovery community so I wanted to bring Chelsie's story to the forefront to discuss topics like relapse, family grief, how to handle certain scenarios with addicts and share a bit of advice.
This conversation brings in the voice of the addict themselves and also my perspective, which is a family member to someone who suffers from addiction.
I share my pride in being a part of her village, and I hope this conversation brings in a fresh perspective and normalizes this type of conversation instead of shying away from it.
If you have any questions or want to reach out, please do!
Thanks again for listening!
