I intentionally didn’t say “40 years sober” because there’s a significant difference between being sober and being healed. True healing—from trauma, abuse, depression, anxiety, pain, shame, and guilt—is what sustains lasting sobriety. Simply getting sober often means addressing the symptom at a surface level, relying on recovery mechanics like meetings, sponsorship, and willpower. While these can provide structure, they don’t resolve the underlying wounds. This is why so many struggle with slips and eventual relapse, leading to secular recovery’s staggering 90% failure rate.

There is a better way. Stop Hiding, Start Healing offers a path to real freedom—one rooted in healing from trauma, shame, guilt, and pain. When you heal at the core, sobriety isn’t just possible—it becomes a natural byproduct of a transformed life.

Attention Speakers and Leadership Coaches: Lead Yourself First

As speakers, coaches, and teachers in leadership development, we often pour ourselves into helping others grow, inspiring teams, and guiding organizations toward success. But here’s a hard truth: we can’t effectively lead others if we aren’t first leading ourselves.

Leadership isn’t just about strategy, communication, or influence—it’s about integrity. And integrity starts with being whole. To truly inspire and transform others, we need to address the foundations of our own well-being:

Emotional Health: Have you processed your past wounds and built resilience to handle present challenges?

Mental Health: Are you practicing mindfulness, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence in your daily life?

Physical Health: Are you taking care of your body so you have the energy and vitality to give your best?

Spiritual Health: Have you clarified your deeper purpose and aligned your actions with it?

The most powerful leaders are those who embody the principles they teach. When you’ve walked through your own journey of healing and growth, your words carry the weight of authenticity. Your audience can feel the difference.

Before you prepare your next presentation or coaching session, ask yourself: Am I fully equipped to lead others because I’ve first done the work on myself?

Remember: the most transformative leaders aren’t perfect—they’re real. They’ve done the hard work of looking inward, addressing their own struggles, and growing through them.

Take the time to invest in yourself, not just for your benefit, but for the people who are counting on you to lead by example.

Let’s lead ourselves well, so we can lead others with integrity, compassion, and strength.
