Hi Friend,

Welcome to The ODAAT Chat podcast, my name is Arlina and I’ll be your host.

This is a podcast where my guests and I talk about how to recovery from alcoholism and addiction. We tell our stories in hopes that you relate, feel inspired and discover tools that can help you achieve long term recovery.

But before we jump in, I have a quick announcement. I am hosting a free 12 step workshop for women called “Sobriety Reset”.

We will cover the 12 steps in 6 weeks starting Thursday December 12th at 7:00pm MST, online via Zoom.

You might be wondering who this is for...This is for any woman who wants to do the steps. If you’ve relapsed, or you feel lost, or you want to get into the solution, or if you are looking for a real transformation. I highly encourage you to sign up now. S

o here’s how it will work: We will use the worksheets from “A Woman’s Way Through the 12 Steps” We will meet online using a Zoom link We will review the answers for steps 1 & 2 during the meeting You will also meet with your Step Sister (aka accountability partner) once a week so you can share all your answers and listen to your partner share hers.

If you’re ready for some positive change, go to sobrietyreset.com, enter your email address and just follow the instructions from there!

So today my guest is the super fabulous Linda Parmer. Linda specializes in financial recovery and helping women in recovery to heal their money thoughts and behaviors. Her life in addiction led her to a life of financial chaos. With her recovery she has learned that alcohol and drugs were just a symptom of negative patterns and behaviors. This is the same for money. A few years into recovery she was ready to look at these patterns and behaviors which led her to become a Certified Money Coach. Linda has worked in the financial industry for 20 years and has made a career from helping people with their finances. Linda is going to tell her story but also provide us with a mini money workshop that will set you on the path to finding recovery around money.
