Whether you're newly sober or years into recovery, this episode offers a fresh perspective on breaking free from the survival mindset and building a life of purpose and fulfillment. Tune in for practical tips on silencing negative self-talk, finding value beyond external measures, and unlocking your potential to not just survive, but truly thrive in sobriety.
