The Healing Power of Amends: Jess's Journey to Reconciliation
“Being sincere when we made amends is the result of putting the best in us in charge of the task, the part of us that has empathy and compassion for those we have hurt, so we can begin to glimpse the pain and suffering we have caused.”
Jess from 'SobrieTea with Jess' takes you on an emotional journey through Steps 8 and 9 of her recovery process. In this episode, she opens up about the challenging yet transformative experience of making amends to those she has harmed.

It's a raw and heartfelt exploration of the courage it takes to own up to past mistakes and the profound impact it can have on rebuilding relationships.
