The Life You Stop Needing to Escape
Om avsnittet
What does building a life you don't want to escape from actually take? Donna joined The Path in March 2021 after a COVID grocery store moment she couldn't unsee and hasn't had a drink since. Now five years in, she's back with Coach Hayley to share what's genuinely changed, what she's still working through, and a question that keeps getting more interesting.
Donna and Coach Hayley discuss:
That COVID grocery store moment, four wine clubs in a week, and what she calls "the gift COVID gave her"
The beta reader who said her memoir should have said more about her drinking, and what she heard two weeks later
Why confidence was her number one benefit from stopping, and how alcohol was worsening her anxiety while she believed it was helping
The 90-second rule for processing difficult emotions without numbing, and the morning practice she's built over five years
Why building a life you don't want to escape from is still the deeper work at year five
And more on forgiveness, gratitude, and what five years of alcohol freedom actually sounds like...
