I love the podcast platform. I love really beautiful connecting conversations with friends. I think when I was young growing up I needed it because I didn't know really who I was and alcohol gave me, allowed me to vocalise. So the thing I think I've discovered now is that I really love the writing platform.
What happens when a high-flying lawyer realizes her drinking habits are spiraling out of control? In this episode of 'Behind The Smile', Ash Butterss sits down with Isabella Ferguson, a registered counsellor and alcohol coach, who shares her compelling story. Isabella opens up about her 20-year stint as a 'grey-area' drinker, a term many might relate to but seldom discuss openly.
Her journey took a dramatic turn in February 2020 when she entered rehab, leaving behind her law career to focus on helping others navigate their own struggles with alcohol. Now a corporate wellness speaker and head of a busy counselling practice, Isabella's life is a testament to the power of transformation and self-discovery. The conversation spans a range of topics, from stress reduction and the pressures of fitting in, to the often-overlooked red flags of corporate drinking culture.
Ash and Isabella's heartfelt dialogue sheds light on the complexities of addiction and the redemptive power of finding one's voice. Whether you're grappling with similar issues or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and hope for a brighter, sober future.
