This week I'm joined by fellow podcaster Angela Pugh, whose podcast ‘Addiction  Unlimited’ touches addiction and recovery. In this episode Angela opens up about her past, navigating doubts about the future, and bravely shares her journey through addiction. Together, we reflect on the power of gratitude amidst life's challenges and discuss societal judgments, exploring the complexities of addiction with honesty and vulnerability. As Angela unfolds her personal narrative—from the hustle of Hollywood to the laid-back vibes of Kansas City—we dive into pivotal moments. At 33.5 years old, Angela's decision to embrace sobriety marks a turning point after battling alcoholism for over a decade. We explore the impact of her bartending career, the culture shock of returning to Kansas City, and the transformative journey that led to growth, resilience, and helping others on the path to recovery. This episode promises authentic insights into Angela's experiences, the enduring influence of gratitude, and her dedication to supporting others through coaching sessions, making it a heartfelt exploration of life's challenges and the rewarding journey to recovery.
