In this episode, Aleah interviews Los Angeles-based artist, photographer, and intuitive seer Catherine Just. Learn about Catherine’s transformative journey from battling substance addiction at a young age to finding solace and expression through art. 

Catherine shares heartfelt stories of resilience, detailing how art school became a sanctuary where she could channel her struggles into creative energy. Her story is a poignant reminder of art's power to heal and how our past experiences can fuel our creative processes.

Substance addiction is often closely related to love addiction and anxiety. For Catherine, meth was a way to finally feel deeply in love, to belong, to be at home, and to connect with other human beings. 

In the throes of a difficult experience, she heard a powerful voice inside her that showed her there was more to the life she was living. She believed that voice and never looked back. Today, Catherine is 36 years sober and thriving.

Learn what made Catherine cling to her healing path, how she developed resilience, and the role her art played in her recovery. She will also share how she handles triggers and challenging moments, and offer advice for people in similar situations. How do we ask for help in our darkest moments?
