People's feelings are going to get hurt. You have your own value and you have to take care of yourself first, and helping these women start to do that is going to be a really big part of your job.
What happens when women outnumber men on a recovery podcast? In this episode of Casting Light, Dan and Debbie are joined by Tori, who recently became the house manager at Guiding Light's new sober living housing for women in Grand Rapids, MI. Tori shares her raw and honest experiences about the unique challenges women face in early recovery.
From feeling like a 'dollar sign' rather than a person to struggling with past habits while trying to embrace a new life, Tori opens up about the emotional and practical hurdles that come with sober living. The conversation also dives into how recovery can shift one's moral compass and the ripple effects this can have. They discuss the importance of creating intentional sober living environments that prioritize self-care and support.
Tori highlights the resources available to women in recovery, including spiritual advisors, therapists, and sober supports. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of what it means to recover as a woman and the significance of building supportive, caring communities. Whether you're in recovery or know someone who is, you'll find valuable insights and real stories that resonate.
