Author Laura McKowen is back to share the nine essential lessons she learned in recovery, from accepting that it's not your fault to the importance of seeking community and reaching out for help.

• What it means to take responsibility and why accountability leads to freedom;

• How we’re all capable of everything – and how to get unstuck when you’re feeling bad about yourself; and 

• The importance of being seen in your pain – and the transformative potential of helping others do the same.
