Are You Living In the Wrong Story?
If you want to change the trajectory of your life, you must change your narrative first.
We see the world and those around us through a default lens setting, which is often based on childhood experiences, past traumas, and life-changing events. We try to make sense of our lives by unpacking and organizing memories into a story. Sadly, the story we believe to be factual, could not be further from the truth.
In episode 9 of The Recovery Coach Podcast, Alison and Seth discuss the transformative power in changing the narrative and uncovering our true, God-given identity. While we cannot undo the past, we can begin to create a new story filled with growth, resilience and freedom.

Alison and Seth bring an honest and open perspective to mental health and recovery. Love this show!!!!
Keeps me motivated with love and grace!
If I could have a livestream of Seth and Alison talking 24/7, I would tune in - they are so real and relatable in the way they communicate! Addiction is a heavy topic, but this podcast is light-hearted, positive, and uplifting. It’s like having the best recovery coaches and friends right in my living room, reminding me of what I’m working towards and why I’m doing it. Being newer in my recovery journey, this podcast has been an excellent tool to keep me motivated and grounded in my new reality. I am very appreciative and always look forward to the next episode!

They beautifully acknowledge multiple pathways to recovery and express a loving respect towards the person in revovery by emphasizing a client-centered approach. Seth & Alison also discuss the power of peer coaching/recovery coaching by building rapport in loving yet skillful ways which leaves the client feeling respected and empowered. Well done.
