Some of the strongest people you'll ever meet are the ones who spent years putting everyone else before themselves.

This week on the StraitJacket Podcast, I sit down with Emily, who shares her incredible journey through addiction, recovery, and the difficult process of breaking free from people-pleasing. With 11 years of sobriety, Emily opens up about learning to set boundaries, finding her own voice, and discovering that true healing isn't about making everyone else happy—it's about becoming the person you were always meant to be. If you've ever struggled with saying no, losing yourself in relationships, or wondering if real change is possible, this conversation will remind you that recovery is about so much more than putting down the substance—it's about reclaiming your life.

🎙️ New episode drops at 2 PM. Don't miss this powerful conversation about growth, self-worth, and what it really takes to build a life worth staying sober for.
