Casey Ryan joins us today and she is our first guest that sought us out to make an appearance on our show! Anthologies of Hope is all about stories and journeys and Casey’s is one that I am grateful that we get to bring to you! We jump into Casey’s background, beginning with alcohol and drug addictions at the ages of 13 and 15 respectively; treatment & recovery of those addictions, as well as mental health issues through the standard process of care in the American recovery system; how she transformed her life to thrive in corporate America, only to leave that behind to empower others with her own life-coaching expertise!

We talk about the downfalls of the current addiction recovery movement in the United States, how it fails to address both addiction and uniquely disparate mental health issues at the same time, as well as the existence and impact of mental health stigmas in the workplace!

As you can hear, that’s a lot to cover in the ninety minutes we’ve got in this episode, so be sure to check out Casey’s coaching website, and the Self Made & Sober podcast appearance we mention in the episode!
