Episode description
This week's episode is with Dr. Sam Harte discussing addiction to perfectionism, control, alcohol, and how that shows up in our partnerships and marriages, and the relationship with ourselves. I am so excited to share this RAW and REAL podcast episode on a week that you might find family triggering some of your deepest wounds, aka opportunities for love.
Dr. Samantha Harte, whose expertise spans from physical therapy and personal training to life coaching, nutrition consulting, choreographing and professional dancing, podcasting and her soon to be released book, is dedicated to guiding you toward holistic health and vibrant living.
In the episode Sam shares about the lack of control, abandonment, anger and sadness she felt in her marriage that led her to emotional recovery:
how she accumulated all of the success, career, marriage but felt dead inside
rupture in her marriage led to a separation and ultimately a coming home to self
how working the 12 steps of AA and Alanon led to peace inside of her and marriage
distinguishing between our choices and who we truly are is the path to heal shame
through healing shame Sam reconnected to a Higher Power, intuition and trust
