Jeannine's Rollercoaster: From Addiction to Entrepreneurship
“I'm creating it with my own mental construct and I just realized I can stop that mental construct if I want, just like I could get up and leave That Day, like I can get up and leave now, like I don't have to live in this misery because- and I kind of have the tools to get there and I share them on this show with other people- but I need to also employ them a little bit more myself.”
Ever wondered how someone can turn their life around after hitting rock bottom? Jeannine Coulter Lindgren knows firsthand. In this episode of 'Chasing Heroine', Jeannine opens up about a terrifying incident during her active addiction when she was held hostage in her own apartment. She draws parallels between the intense stress she felt then and the challenges she faces now as a small business owner. But it's not all doom and gloom.
Jeannine dives into the 'bedevilments' mentioned in the Big Book of AA, explaining how these struggles can persist even in recovery. Fortunately, the Big Book also offers solutions, and Jeannine shares how these teachings have helped her navigate both her past and present difficulties. She gets real about feeling like a failure at times but highlights how the serenity prayer keeps her grounded. If you're looking for a story of resilience, hope, and practical advice, this episode is a must-listen.
