I’m happy to welcome my first international guest and fellow sober sister to the podcast, Hayley Matches, from Vancouver, BC.
Hayley is a Certified Professional Recovery Coach who’s been alcohol-free since 2019. Her sobriety has led to radical shifts in her goals, values & desires, and she now helps others live what she calls an Unwasted Life.
Through this conversation, Hayley & I hope to address some of the divisiveness, contention & misconceptions within the recovery world around which pathway is “best”. We break down the difference between sober coaches, licensed therapists & mentors. Although I got sober in the traditional 12 step community & Hayley didn’t, there’s so many similarities in what led us toward alcohol and away from it.
Whether you’ve been sober for years, newly sober, or simply exploring your relationship with alcohol, I hope this episode propels you toward self-empowered sobriety and supportive community no matter which pathway you choose. At the end of the day, we are more alike than different.
