Guest: Shelly-Anne

 

In this enlightening episode of Sobertown Podcast, our guest Shelly-Anne and our host Viv (@sober_ithrive), both internationally certified professional addiction recovery and life coaches, join forces to delve into the intricacies of sober coaching. As they explain, sober coaches are more than just guides; they are allies in the recovery journey, providing a supportive and non-judgmental environment that fosters personal growth and self-discovery.

This episode also addresses the many modalities and differences between a sober coach and a therapist, counselor, or sponsor and how to seek a certified professional sober coach, which empowers individuals to develop their own critical thinking skills and take charge of their recovery.
