4. God Will Use Your Path for a Purpose | Navigating Childhood Trauma, Addiction, and the Path to Recovery with Lisa Stanton

In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show, I am so excited to share with you this conversation I had with Lisa Stanton. She discusses the complexities of healing and forgiveness, and how childhood trauma influenced her behavior and relationships. Lisa also shares her battle with alcoholism, using alcohol as a coping mechanism for her confusion, anger, and fear. She talks about hitting rock bottom in 2020, her resistance to accepting a higher power, and her eventual embrace of faith in her recovery. 

 

Together we have a great conversation on the transformative power of recovery, the role of a higher power, and the unexpected blessings, such as Lisa's upcoming book, her marriage, and what the future holds. I am so touched by Lisa’s story and I know you are going to love it as well.
