In this episode of The Addicted Mind Podcast, Duane Osterlind hosts Edwige Gilbert Blade, a wellness and stress management coach, who offers a fresh perspective on overcoming addiction. Edwige shares her personal journey from Cannes to New York City, detailing how her childhood experiences shaped her self-talk and eventually led her to struggle with addiction. She opens up about how the pressures of modelling and the chaos of city life drove her to seek solace in sugar and amphetamines.
Edwige explains that addiction often stems from an inability to access a safe space within oneself, resulting in unhealthy coping mechanisms. She emphasises the importance of emotional regulation and introduces practical techniques such as mindfulness, hypnosis, and meditation to help individuals find peace and clarity. Her approach is centred around the idea that addiction isn't the problem itself but a symptom of deeper emotional turmoil.
Through her book "The Fresh Start Promise", Edwige presents a 28-day programme designed to transform stress into success. Her methods include simple practices like holding fingers to clear emotions and using positive affirmations to reprogramme the mind. She believes that discipline and daily practice are key to manifesting one's vision and creating lasting change. Edwige's story is a testament to the power of imagination and mindfulness in overcoming addiction. Her journey inspires hope for anyone feeling trapped in their habits.
