This Week Didn’t Go as Planned — And That’s Okay | Recovery Sisterhood Podcast

This episode is different. I had to cancel my first podcast interview due to a sudden health scare—an unexpected shortness of breath that sent me to urgent care and forced me to slow down. It was scary, humbling, and eye-opening. 😔

As someone in long-term recovery, I realized I’d been drifting away from a core part of my healing journey: mindfulness. I used to teach it, live it, breathe it—and somewhere along the way, I let it go. But this experience brought me back. Back to the breath. Back to the present moment. Back to what really matters. 🌬️

In this episode, I share openly about what happened, what I learned, and how it’s leading me to renew my mindfulness practice by getting re-certified. I’m also inviting you to join me on this journey. If you're curious about incorporating mindfulness into your recovery in a gentle, non-pressure way, please reach out. I’ll be sharing what I learn, freely and from the heart. Email me if you're interested. 💞

Let’s honor the breath. Let’s honor our recovery. And let’s not take a single moment for granted.
