Behind The Smile with Ash Butterss

Ep 41. Own your morning, own your day and showing up no matter what, with Sober Coach Jen Hirst


Listen Later

In this week’s episode I sat down with Sober Coach and mum of two Jen Hirst, who recently celebrated ten years of sobriety! Jen shares how she went from being an anxious perfectionist and workaholic who used alcohol daily to manage stress and social anxiety, to a sobriety coach, speaker and founder of Lighthouse Sobriety.

I absolutely loved this conversation with Jen and we covered a lot including:

  • Perfectionism – 5:00
  • Hiding Behind The Smile – 17:08
  • Self-medicating with Adderall – 28:30
  • The gift of desperation – 31:13
  • Her experience in rehab – 36:46
  • Learning how to fill your time in sobriety – 39:58
  • Identification and shame reduction – 42:40
  • Tools for recovery – 47:09
  • Cross-addiction – 51:20
  • Healthy Habits in Sobriety – 56:50
  • Doing the work in the off season – 62:53
