How do individuals turn their lives around after addiction? Jess Frost, a coach for adult children of alcoholics, shares her tumultuous journey from a chaotic childhood to a life rebuilt with resilience and hope. Growing up in a seemingly privileged environment, Jess reveals the stark contrast between the facade and the reality of living with an alcoholic parent. Her father’s battle with mental health and addiction issues, compounded by the family’s financial struggles, painted a turbulent picture behind closed doors.
Jess’s story is one of survival and transformation. From witnessing her father’s involvement with a cult to dealing with his emotional breakdowns, she navigated a minefield of emotional challenges. As a teenager, she faced betrayal in relationships and the trauma of her grandparents' tragic death by suicide. These experiences left indelible marks on her psyche, leading to her own struggles with alcohol and drugs. Yet, Jess found a way to channel her pain into purpose.
Leaving behind a career in recruitment, she embarked on a path of self-discovery and healing. Through therapy, breathwork, and community support, she learned to trust herself and others again. Today, Jess empowers others to break free from the chains of their past and embrace a life of authenticity and joy. Her story is a testament to the power of vulnerability and the courage to face one's demons.
Jess's journey reminds us that even in the darkest times, there is potential for light and growth. Are you ready to explore what it means to truly heal and transform?
