In this second episode, I’ll be having my husband’s trusted friend, George Herrick, as my first guest. George has been sober since June 10, 1975 (45 years now!) and is currently a life and recovery coach, speaker, artist, and author who just released his incredible new book called The Stone Warrior: Confronting life's dark challenges with stone art and meditation. (You can find it on Amazon.)

Things you will learn in this episode:

• How George’s addiction affected his personal life, from losing his job to being completely homeless
• What made him decide to become sober and move forward
• Getting back on track by landing his first job in recovery despite the stigma and discrimination in the workplace
• Why did George decided to leave the corporate world and become a coach for people who had a period of recovery and wanted to figure how to have their life back
• How his creativity helped him to succeed in the coaching field
• His journey as a cancer survivor and why he created his new book, Stone Warrior
• Thoughts on leadership, spirituality, and his best advice to people who want to step into leadership in sobriety.
