Gill welcomes Nikki Eisenhauer to the podcast. Nikki is a licensed psychotherapist, life coach, and the host of the Emotional Badass Podcast. If you struggle with alcohol, then it's highly likely that you also struggle with handling emotions in a healthy way. Gill loves the way that Nikki discusses emotions in her podcast, and knew her expertise would be the perfect addition to Sober Powered.

In this episode you’ll learn:

How Nikki started her career working with people who struggle with addiction and trauma

How to connect with your emotional self vs your thinking self

How to just “be” and not deal with constant overwhelm

How to break out of the mindset of needing to get to a certain point in life to be happy

Why your emotions are okay and how to embrace feeling them

How trauma can disconnect you from your body, what that looks like (hypervigilance), and how to reconnect
