Join Amanda to hear Gina's incredible sobriety story then dive into the five elements of SHINE:

S: Sobriety and identifying your "why?"

H: Healing and getting to the root cause of the pain that compels you to drink and replacing that pain with self-love.

• Prayer followed by vulnerable action is the path to manifesting your greatest goals.
• Harnessing the power of thought in connection with the divine to create a better life and world.
• How setting boundaries with others as part of your growth process makes you attractive to others who may need healing.
• The benefit of living in a consistent state of what lights you up and being unattached to the outcome: having expectations and not being devastated if they don't come to pass.
• An added bonus of newfound self-worth in sobriety can inspire you to try new things and the powerful energy that arises when we find out we are good at them!
