In this episode, I sit down with my friend Rachael Blumberg, a wellness and mindset coach who has built a powerful career while navigating the ups and downs of sobriety. 

Rachael shares her journey of getting sober at 27, building a thriving business, relapsing after nine years, and finding her way back with deeper wisdom. 

We talk about AA, emotional sobriety, healing the nervous system, and how circles and morning rituals have reshaped her life. 

Rachael’s story is raw, inspiring, and a reminder that relapse doesn’t mean failure - it can be the start of something even more authentic.
