The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast

Andrea Ashley - Host of Adult Child Podcast on Recovery from Alcoholism and The ACA Program


Listen Later

Today my guest is Andrea Ashley, the host of a VERY popular podcast called Adult Child. After getting sober in 2008, she found ACA which is “Adult child of alcoholics / Dysfunctional families” and it changed the course of her recovery. She launched her podcast to help others just like her, heal from childhood trauma to lead healthy fulfilling lives. She has a private where she facilitates ACA meetings, so check that out. She’s so much fun to talk to and I can’t wait for you to meet her! 

 

Before we jump in, I want to talk about what happens to those of us who grow up in a dysfunctional home. We are forced to learn survival skills like people pleasing, validation and love through performance, and denying or suppressing our feelings. 

 

Those survival patterns show up in adulthood as addiction, workaholism, codependency, unhealthy relationships and extreme independence. We have trouble trusting others and feel the need to do everything ourselves and often isolate ourselves when we’re in emotional pain.

 

The good news is that this is a cycle that can be broken.

 

If you are at the point where you feel like you need something more and you’re ready to do the deep work, I am available to support you through that process. I offer customized 1:1 support to help you break those patterns. If you want to talk with me to see if coaching is right for you, then set up a strategy call with me by visiting sober life school.com and at the top of the page you’ll find a link to “Private Coaching”. Change is possible and it would be my honor to work with you.

 

So without further delay please enjoy the episode with Andrea!
