OC97-Author Emily Lynn Paulson - From Trauma, To The Executive Suites to The Social Media Highlight Real.output
Hi Friend! Welcome to another episode of The ODAAT Chat Podcast! In case you are new here, My name is Arlina and I'll be your host. This is a podcast where my guests share their stories of alcoholism and addiction and their journey to recovery. For information on today's episode and access to past episodes, visit odaatchat.com. Today my conversation is with Emily Paulson, mother of 5, and author of Highlight Real - Finding Honesty & Recovery Beyond the Filtered Life But before we jump in, I wanted to share an amazing audio book I discovered called "Awareness- Conversations with the Masters" by Anthony de Mello. Now, the title does nothing to distinguish it from other books, but it was recomened by Tim Ferriss and if he thinks it's good I usually get it, and he did not disappoint. While listening to it, I kept blurting things like, "oh my god, yes!" like a crazy person because nobody was there, but I immediately knew I had to share it with you all because it's just that good. So listeners of the ODAAT Chat Podcast can get it for free by subscribing to Audible.com, just visit odaatchat.com and you'll see the Audible banner on the right. So Emily Lynn Paulson is someone I really appreciate because she has a great story but also because she was brave enough to pull back the curtain on what seems to be the perfect life, to show that everyone has their painful struggles and challenges. www.emilylynnpaulson.com IG @highlightrealrecovery So with that, please enjoy this episode, with the super fabulous Emily!

(Even If You've Never Been Able To Lose Weight Before!)

I did it over a year ago and lost 16 pounds in less than 12 weeks. My husband lost over 50! It was such a life changing experience that we developed The Metabolic Food System to include everything you need to restore your metabolism so that you can achieve your ideal body weight. It's a highly personalized program so we can only take 10 clients at a time. Once those spots are filled, we won't open up the program for another 3 months.

Eric shares about how he grew up, his family and how he descended into drug addiction. Although he eventually achieved long term sobriety, he also shares what happened when he relapsed and the challenges of trying to get sober again. I don't want to give everything away, so with that, please enjoy this wide ranging episode, with Eric.

If you're ready to lose weight and stop emotional eating, visit metabolicfoodsystem.com So today's call with Laura is going to be part 1. Since it's a 4th step, I'm not actually sure how many parts it will be. In any case, this is the step that had the biggest impact on me early in recovery. I showed up to the program, completely self centered, but in capable of self examination. This was the first time I had a process that for unraveling the mess that was my life. I could finally see my part in the most challenging relationships. My hope is that if you haven't taken the steps yet, as you witness someone else go through the process, you will be inspired to do the work for yourself. So with that, I hope you enjoy this episode, with Laura.
