Tell it the way you want it. Don't tell it the way it currently is or the way it currently feels. Tell it the way you want it to be.
In this insightful episode of the 'Happiest Sober Podcast,' host Kim Gravel is joined by her mom to delve into the crucial topic of mindset in early sobriety. The conversation highlights the transformative power of reframing thoughts to foster an empowered mindset, not only in sobriety but in all aspects of life. Kim shares personal experiences, discussing how watching her father's struggle with drinking shaped her perspective on sobriety from the onset.

Recognizing that individuals have the ability to decide their state of mind each day is portrayed as a game-changer in the journey to sobriety. The episode also touches on the challenges of finding accessible mental health care. Kim introduces RULA, a service that partners with over 100 insurance plans and a vast network of therapists and psychiatrists.
This platform aims to make mental health care affordable, with copays as low as $15, addressing a common barrier to accessing therapy.

They discuss how mindset transcends the sobriety journey, influencing overall life satisfaction and personal empowerment.

Kim Gravel's show is portrayed as a beacon of hope and encouragement, inviting listeners to join her sober community for ongoing support.
