Beth's blog, BHereToday.com, with its mantra 'Be present. Find peace. On purpose', echoes her commitment to living in the moment and finding inner peace.

Beth talks candidly about her 'dark night of the soul', a period marked by emotional turmoil despite outward signs of success.

Beth also delves into the therapeutic benefits of equine therapy, sharing how interactions with horses have been instrumental in her healing journey.

She emphasizes the transformative power of unconditional love, both in receiving it and giving it, as a cornerstone of recovery. Towards the end of the episode, Beth gives us a glimpse into her current projects, including 'Be Here on Purpose', a platform that features audio and video interviews, personal stories, and truth-telling.
