    From Self-Punishment to Self-Trust: The Missing Piece in Recovery, Health & Lasting Change with Nikki O'Dea and Gen Stoney

    Hello! It's Gen, and I'd love to hear from you. Click here & send me a text :) What if the real transformation isn’t found in more discipline, more restriction, or trying harder? In this powerful conversation, Gen sits down with health and fitness coach Nikki O’Dea to explore the surprising parallels between recovery, body image, weight loss, and lasting personal growth. Together, they unpack why so many women find themselves trapped in cycles of starting over, chasing perfection, and believing they have to “fix” themselves before they can fully enjoy their lives. Nikki shares her refreshing approach to health and fitness—one that isn’t rooted in shame, punishment, or shrinking yourself into someone else’s definition of enough. Instead, her mission is helping women build trust with themselves, feel at home in their bodies, and create sustainable habits that support the life they actually want to live. Throughout the episode, Gen and Nikki dive into the deeper mindset work that exists beneath both recovery and health journeys. They discuss identity shifts, self-worth, perfectionism, emotional healing, and why the goal isn’t simply losing weight or getting sober—it’s creating a life you no longer need to escape from. Whether you’re navigating recovery, rebuilding your relationship with your body, struggling with all-or-nothing thinking, or simply tired of feeling like you’re never enough, this conversation offers a compassionate reminder: You do not have to hate yourself into becoming someone you love. True change begins when self-punishment ends and self-trust begins. This episode is a beautiful invitation to stop performing, stop proving, and start coming home to yourself.

    Your Love Life Is Your Business Strategy (Especially in Recovery) with Gen Stoney

    Hello! It's Gen, and I'd love to hear from you. Click here & send me a text :) Your Love Life Is Your Business Strategy (Especially in Recovery) [Trigger Warning: This episode discusses Sexual Assault.] What if the patterns you learned to survive before sobriety are still shaping your relationships, leadership, and income today? In this episode, Gen Stoney explores how intimacy, nervous system regulation, and emotional sobriety directly impact ambition, visibility, and confidence. Because getting sober is one thing — staying connected, alive, and embodied is another. You’ll learn: • How self-abandonment, control, and performance patterns show up after sobriety • Why your nervous system treats intimacy and leadership the same • How disconnection in love quietly affects creativity and money • Why desire and pleasure are part of sustainable recovery • Simple embodied shifts to help you lead from wholeness — not survival Sobriety doesn’t end with putting down the drink. It expands into how you love, lead, and live. Your next level in recovery isn’t about trying harder. It’s about coming home to yourself. 🎧 Hit play now, and if this speaks to you, DM me "VIP" on Instagram or Facebook https://www.facebook.com/genstoney —I have private mentorship spots open for a the woman who feels called. 💜 If this episode resonated with you.

    The Ozempic Temptation- What I Really Needed Wasn't a Shot with Gen Stoney

    Hello! It's Gen, and I'd love to hear from you. Click here & send me a text :) In this raw and honest episode, I’m sharing something I haven’t opened up about publicly until now—my personal journey of almost going on Ozempic during one of the most emotionally painful years of my life. After experiencing deep grief, weight gain, and a growing sense of disconnection from my body, I found myself reaching for the quick fix… craving something that would make me feel better fast. But the truth? It wasn’t really about the weight. It was about the pain underneath—the sadness, the anxiety, and the desire to escape it all. This is a conversation about recovery, body image, emotional avoidance, and the quiet ways our old patterns resurface—even after years of sobriety. I talk about what helped me come back home to myself—therapy, spiritual reconnection, nervous system nourishment, and most importantly, the decision to slow down instead of check out. If you’ve ever struggled with wanting to bypass the hard stuff, or felt shame about how you’ve coped—this episode will meet you with love, compassion, and truth. 💫 And if you’re ready to explore what it means to evolve in your sobriety—not just stay sober, but truly live—I invite you into The Sober Collective. It’s my high-touch, sacred community for women walking this path with heart, depth, and intention. You’re not alone. You’re not behind. You’re right on time. And healing gets to feel like coming home. ✨ Your recovery is allowed to evolve. Your sobriety gets to feel lighter, not heavier.

    Difficult Conversations, Sobriety, and Letting Go with Gen Stoney

    Hello! It's Gen, and I'd love to hear from you. Click here & send me a text :) Navigating difficult conversations is something we all face—whether in sobriety or everyday life. In this episode, we explore how to handle challenging interactions with grace, clarity, and confidence, even when the other person is resistant to change. I share a recent experience that reminded me of my own mindset before sobriety—when I wasn’t ready to listen and resisted help from others. Drawing parallels between that time and now, I discuss the importance of preparation, emotional grounding, and letting go of the need to control others’ reactions. Through tools like meditation, journaling, EFT tapping, and seeking support, I prepared myself for a tough conversation that ultimately didn’t go as planned. And that’s okay. The lesson here is about focusing on your own growth, letting people be who they are, and redirecting your energy to what truly matters: your peace and progress. If you’re a high-achieving woman navigating recovery or life’s complexities, this episode will inspire you to approach difficult moments with strength and grace. Let go of control, do the inner work, and show up as your best self—because that’s where true power lies. Key Takeaways: Preparation and emotional work are crucial for difficult conversations.You can’t force others to change, but you can control how you show up.Letting go of control frees up energy for your own growth and peace.If this episode resonated with you, reach out to Gen Stoney for guidance and mentorship.
