Lisa’s Naked Life | EP 948
Trigger Warning: This episode contains references to domestic conflict, impaired driving with a minor in the vehicle, and a cancer diagnosis.
Six beers in, Lisa drove her fifteen-year-old son to a friend's house. It wasn't the first time she'd driven after drinking, but something about that night finally scared her. By then, she was drinking about two bottles of wine most nights. Her marriage was falling apart, and she'd been sleeping in the guest room. That night, she admitted to herself that she couldn't keep living this way. She stopped drinking the next day and started wrestling with a bigger question instead: How do I forgive myself for the things I did while drinking?
Lisa and Coach Cole discuss:
● Why she still resists calling her father "an alcoholic," even after decades of watching him drink and drive
● What her father's own DUI and forced AA meetings taught her about shame, and why she built her coaching style in the opposite direction
● Being six months alcohol-free before an unexpected stage 3 cancer diagnosis, and what forgiveness had to do with getting through it
● The real difference between therapy and coaching, and why Lisa refuses to blur the two even though she's licensed in both
● And more on Dr. Joe Dispenza, meditation, and how Lisa finally forgave the woman she used to be…
