Ep 70. Finding connection and embracing change with Michelle McDonald
Episode description
In this week’s episode I sat down with life and sobriety coach Michelle McDonald. Since getting sober in 2021, Michelle has been on a mission to support other people in recovery through the creation of connection and community.
Michelle believes connection is everything and she credits her sobriety for not only developing a deeper connection with her loved ones, but even more so, a deeper and more meaningful connection with herself.
In this conversation we spoke about topics including:
- The importance of connection – 5:30
- The absence of a rock bottom – 10:00
- Modelling healthy habits – 21:22
- The benefits of taking a break – 27:30
- Embracing change in relationships – 36:15
- Connecting to the real you – 43:00
