Looking for a transformative approach to sobriety that incorporates body, mind, and spirit? Look no further. Gina Kunadian, alcohol-free sobriety coach and host of the Shine Within podcast has a great one! Gina's motivating and life-changing SHINE process delivers! 

Join Amanda to hear Gina's incredible sobriety story then dive into the five elements of SHINE:

S: Sobriety and identifying your "why?"

H: Healing and getting to the root cause of the pain that compels you to drink and replacing that pain with self-love.

I: Inspiration through exploring your creativity.

N: Nurturing yourself by discovering the healing properties of and connection to nature.

E: Empowerment found in meeting your resilient self in source energy. 

Other interesting ideas and insights they bring to light include:

  • The moment of surrender many alcoholics and addicts experience and how maintaining sobriety usually involves a relationship with a Higher Power.
  • Prayer followed by vulnerable action is the path to manifesting your greatest goals.
  • Harnessing the power of thought in connection with the divine to create a better life and world.
  • How setting boundaries with others as part of your growth process makes you attractive to others who may need healing.
  • The benefit of living in a consistent state of what lights you up and being unattached to the outcome: having expectations and not being devastated if they don't come to pass.
  • An added bonus of newfound self-worth in sobriety can inspire you to try new things and the powerful energy that arises when we find out we are good at them!
