King 13 sits down with Ashleybear9.

In this episode they explore how being taught that being sensitive was a form of weakness and that negative emotions were seen as a choice. They discuss how Ashley’s desire to succeed, help others and outwardly present that she had everything together was a tireless and exhausting journey where her only escape was found in drinking. It became her only tool to cope while maintaining a positive “brand” until eventually it was not enough. King 13 and Ashley dive into the symbolism of birds, building back better, the value of presence and closing mental “bulkheads”, and how joy and deeper human experiences can be found in sharing and being vulnerable. 

Various events eventually acted like a giant highlighter, not creating a problem with alcohol but rather highlighting a dangerous relationship that already existed. Ashley’s ability to be intuitive, her drive to be better, cope healthily and manage some very difficult life events led her on the eventual path of sobriety. Truly a better path, a path of growth and love. Love for herself, for others and for life.
