In this raw and deeply honest episode, I sit down with Matt, founder of Quit Kit, who shares his journey of quitting not just one — but four addictions: cigarettes, tramadol, kratom, and alcohol. With compassion and candor, Matt opens up about childhood loneliness, suicidal thoughts in active addiction, and the practical tools that helped him not only get sober — but stay that way.
We explore:
- The emotional cost of numbing pain and how mindfulness became a lifeline
- The power of personal projects and community when you’re stuck in withdrawal
- How supplements like GABA, magnesium, and amino acids support the recovery process
- What Matt wishes he knew on day one: “The person you’re running from is already loved”
- Why asking for help isnt weakness — it’s the beginning of healing
I’m so grateful to Matt for his vulnerability, heart, and the powerful reminder that recovery is possible — even if it takes multiple tries. This episode is a message of hope for anyone who feels trapped by addiction or shame.
Before we jump in, Are you feeling lost in transition? Youre not alone. In fact, most of my coaching clients are in various phases of transition.
Whether youre starting a sober life, changing careers, navigating relationship shifts—or just feeling stuck and unsure what’s next—coaching can help.
I work with people in all stages of change, and what I’ve learned is this:
The answers are already inside you.
But sometimes, you need an outside perspective to help you access them.
As they say, “You can’t read the label from inside the jar.”
If youre feeling anxious that time is slipping away and youre not where you want to be, let’s talk.
