We drink alcohol to escape our reality. We use drugs to escape our reality. I explore the trauma and mental health problems that are the reasons for that need to escape. In this podcast, I interview guests that have gone through hell and back but kept going. In turn, they have transformed into human beings who love themselves, warts and all.
Imagine growing up in a household where anxiety and depression are constant companions. That's the reality Suzy Hardy faced, and in this episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', she shares her powerful story. Suzy, a certified stress management and anxiety coach, opens up about her first panic attack at the tender age of eight and the long journey she embarked on to heal her mind, body, and spirit.
She recounts how traditional medicine fell short for her and how she turned to natural healing methods instead. As a former co-host of the popular 'Food Heals' podcast and an accomplished actress and voice-over artist, Suzy has worn many hats. But it’s her role as a healer and entrepreneur that stands out. She founded CBD Fountain, an organic, vegan hemp CBD brand with her husband, channeling her passion into helping others alleviate stress and anxiety.
In her conversation with Stephan Neff, Suzy delves into the deep impact of growing up with an alcoholic mother who self-medicated her mental health struggles. This intergenerational trauma left its mark on Suzy, but she found solace in the Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA) program. Through ACA, she learned to manage her anxiety with a holistic approach, emphasizing the mind-body connection. Suzy's story is one of resilience and hope.
She offers practical tips for managing anxiety, such as listing your stress triggers and remembering that you’re never alone in your struggles. Her journey underscores the importance of seeking help and creating your own path to healing. If you're looking for inspiration and tangible advice on overcoming life's hurdles, this episode is a must-listen.
