Radical Vulnerability and Hope: Caroline Beidler’s Downstairs Church

Bringing my aching soul to the table started changing me.
Imagine a place where you can be completely open about your struggles and find hope in the midst of addiction and trauma recovery. That’s what Caroline Beidler, MSW, brings to the table in this episode of 'Your Bright Recovery'. She dives into the concept of radical vulnerability, a cornerstone of her new book, *Downstairs Church: Finding Hope in the Grit of Addiction and Trauma Recovery*.
This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how sharing our deepest struggles can lead to profound transformation and healing. Caroline discusses the alarming rise in substance use and overdose fatalities, especially among women, and how shame often traps many in darkness. Through personal stories and reflections, she shows how the recovery community offers a lifeline of support and freedom.
Whether you're in early recovery, living in a recovery home, or even incarcerated, Caroline’s message is clear: there is hope and power in being radically vulnerable. Tune in to hear how you can bring these lessons into your own life and create positive change.
