In this episode of Recovered Life, Chelsea Anderson is joined by Lindsay Kolterman, CEO of The Source Chiropractic Franchise. 

As a member of the LGBTQ community raised in rural America, a daughter who’s supported her father through his addiction recovery, and a woman committed to continual healing and self love, Lindsay carries powerful story medicine and practical wisdom.

Chelsea shares (for the first time on Recovered Life) how shame, self hatred and addiction fueled her addiction, how she’s found self acceptance within the LGBTQ community and her shift towards a self empowered approach to recovery.

Chelsea and Lindsay highlight some of the pitfalls of the “traditional” recovery approach, including:

• Lifelong identification with one’s addiction, using statements like “I am an alcoholic” or “I am an addict”

• Allowing one’s self to remain in victim consciousness

Key take aways, quotes and questions from Lindsay Kolterman:

“The primary root of addiction is disconnection from Self and God.” 

In order to identify and heal the root of addiction, ask yourself “Who hurt me, and what is it about myself that I hate?”

“99% of spiritual work is self love.”

In this episode of Recovered Life, Chelsea Anderson is joined by Tria Aronow Decker, creator of The Four Elements of Self Care Oracle deck, Certified Health Coach and Intuitive Eating Counselor from Tucson, Arizona.

Self Care is a buzzword in the addiction recovery and holistic health spaces, but what does it look like in practice? What are the Four Elements, and how can humans (being part of Nature) connect with them? Is it possible to have a thriving spiritual life outside of strict religion? How does one select and work with an Oracle or Tarot deck? What is Intuitive Eating, anyway?

Tune in as Chelsea and Tria explore these topics and more, sharing their lived experiences.

In this episode of Recovered Life, Chelsea Anderson is joined by Dr. Jamal Früster, owner of Alma Sana Chiropractic Studio, host of Soul Coffee podcast and Life Coach from Tucson, Arizona.

Dr. Jamal’s signature workshop, Providing for the Provider, serves leaders, health care professionals and other providers so they can sustainably serve others. Many of the principles taught within this workshop can be beautifully applied by those in addiction recovery. Chelsea has personally attended and benefited greatly from Providing for the Provider.

Here, Dr. Jamal shares his personal journey through childhood trauma, choosing to become a Chiropractor, overcoming addictive patterns and serving others in practice.

Key take-aways:

• Addictions are often a result of needs going unmet, and/or unconscious attempts to self-regulate.

• Understanding root causes of addiction compassion for people who are struggling and for one’s self.

• “Where focus goes, energy flows.” Coming back from a relapse can be an opportunity to refocus and discover needs that are going unmet.

• Self love and self compassion dissolve guilt and shame surrounding addictive behaviors, which opens the door to recovery.

• Maintaining a balance of serving others and prioritizing one’s own needs is essential for long-term sobriety and health. Taking care of Self is taking care of others.
