Self-compassion is huge. I always encourage people to have self-compassion about what's happened. But, you know, how we move forward is so important as well.
In this episode of One For The Road, host Sober Dave welcomes Julie Mrowicki, a business psychologist and emotional aromatherapist, to share her remarkable story of resilience and transformation. Julie's journey began with a traumatic experience in the workplace at the age of 21, which led to a decade of psychiatric sedation and disconnection from her true self.
Over the course of nearly 30 years, she has worked tirelessly to integrate her experiences, finding strength through sobriety, self-discovery, and holistic wellness. Julie discusses how alcohol became intertwined with her work life, further exacerbating feelings of loneliness and disconnection. It was only after joining a sailing club and spending time away from the city that she began to realize the need to change her environment and lifestyle.
Her 21st birthday marked a pivotal moment when she found herself drinking excessively, leading to a wake-up call that prompted her to seek help and eventually embrace sobriety. The conversation delves into Julie's involvement with SMART recovery meetings and her exploration of various holistic practices, including breathwork and emotional aromatherapy, which have played a crucial role in her healing process. Julie emphasizes the importance of self-compassion, acknowledging past struggles while focusing on future growth.
Listeners gain insight into Julie's journey as she navigates the complexities of grief and emotional challenges after stopping drinking. She highlights the clarity and self-development she has experienced, allowing her to manage her emotions more effectively. Julie shares her experiences to inspire others who may be struggling with similar issues, offering guidance and encouragement on their path to sobriety and personal transformation.
Her story is a testament to the power of resilience and the impact of holistic wellness practices in fostering healing and growth. The episode concludes with heartfelt gratitude from Sober Dave for Julie's openness and the valuable insights she has shared, encouraging listeners to embrace self-compassion and continue their own journeys of self-discovery.
