In this episode, Wendy hosts Chris Janssen who shares her journey of writing her second book, "Grace Yourself: How to Show Up for the Sober Life You Want," and shares powerful insights about perfectionism, self-sabotage, and the courage to share our stories. As a coach who works with high achievers and perfectionists, Chris discusses the crucial distinction between healthy achievement and harmful perfectionism, while candidly sharing her path to sobriety and the unexpected lessons from her 2020 relapse. She offers practical tools for transforming limiting beliefs and emphasizes the importance of taking action in recovery. Through authentic conversation about resistance, fear, and the power of showing up, Chris demonstrates how saying yes to our calling – even when it feels uncomfortable – can lead to profound personal growth and the ability to help others.
