Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? This episode of 'Building Thriving Lifestyles' brings Eik Gylfadottir back to the mic after a year away, sharing a deeply personal update on life, work, and the lessons learned since becoming a mum. Eik candidly discusses her pregnancy experience, which was uncomplicated on paper but presented significant mental and physical challenges. She opens up about facing anxiety and panic attacks, and how finding the right therapeutic support was crucial in her recovery.
Her story highlights the importance of listening to your body and mind, advocating for oneself, and seeking help when needed. Eik also talks about the transformative year spent unplugged to focus on her son, Oliver, and the valuable insights gained from this time.
