Well hello, my loves!

Thank you for downloading the podcast, my name is Arlina, and I’ll be your host.

I’ll keep the intro short, but I will share that I have some exciting plans for the podcast. I’ll be adding a second weekly episode that will cover “Recovery Rants” by yours truly, and a series on how to work the 12 steps. Announcements will be delivered in the newsletter, so if you’re not on it yet, you can sign up at odaatchat.com

Today my guest is Vanessa Klugman. She is a retired physician, ACC certified life and recovery coach, and owner of Resilience Recovery Coaching.

Vanessa shares her story, which includes a moment of reckoning that is like a scene that is right out of the movies. Like most of us, the fall from grace is painful, but sometimes the greatest gifts come from our biggest failures and this is one of those stories.

One last thing before we jump in, if you would, please leave a review on iTunes, it helps other people find the podcast and it’s a huge encouragement for me as well.

So without further ado, please enjoy this conversation, with Vanessa!
