Today my guest is Joi Andreoli, author of The Recovery Cycle and licensed marriage family therapist. She shares her stories of an early chaotic home life, feeling disconnected from herself and how black out drinking & heroin lead her to rehab. We also spend some time on why we sometimes practice “case building” and blame with the ones we love most, and tools to develop a healthy loving relationship. We also discuss different modalities of healing trauma, personal experiences, and so much more…   Before we jump in, I want to share that I still have a couple spots available for the Women’s Self-Esteem workshop starting 11/8 at 5pm Pacific / 8:00 pm Eastern. This class is for you if you’re feeling stuck, burned out and just need a little boost to start doing self care that will make you feel better. I know it can be hard to make yourself a priority, and as women we will often put other people’s needs ahead of our own. So I’m going to make this easy for you. If you register by Sunday Nov 6th, you can bring a friend for free! Just visit selfesteemcourse.com and I’ll look forward to seeing you all in class!   So without further ado, please enjoy this conversation with Joi!   Connect with Joi!
