The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast

I sat down with Sunshine Witchski to talk about what happens when you finally stop hiding the parts of yourself that don't fit the mold.
➡️ Creating a safe place for people who want to get sober
➡️ How she rebuilt every single one of the twelve steps with her own spiritual spin...
➡️ What being a "witch" actually means and why it has nothing to do with what you've been told...
Sunshine got sober on October 9, 2019, six months before the world shut down, and she describes that first year as one of the loneliest of her life. She'd found the rooms that saved her, but she still felt like she had to leave part of herself outside the door. So over time, she built the thing she wished had existed: a recovery community where you don't have to choose between your sobriety and your spirituality.
Here is what you will take away from this episode:
✴️ The two mantras that have carried her through her whole healing journey - change is constant, and everything happens for a reason
✴️ What does a witch actually believe? It's less pointy hats, more healer, empath, and psychic arts
✴️ Recovery is not one-size-fits-all - she rebuilt the twelve steps her own way and it worked
✴️ Trusting her intuitive gifts became one of her biggest protections against relapse
✴️ Building community means nobody has to feel alone in this anymore

Today I sit down with Brannon Patrick, co-host of the very popular podcast, "Therapy Brothers", and as you may have guessed, he and his brother-in-law are therapists! Brannon has spent 20 years treating addiction. I loved talking with him, not only because he really understands addiction but because he is also very compassionate. I feel like I found a new friend and I can't wait for you to meet him!
This is a back-to-basics episode. So whether you're at the beginning of your sobriety journey or you want to prevent a relapse, this episode is for you.
In today's episode, you'll learn:
-  Why the right intention matters more than willpower
-  Why you need outside support and other voices in your first 30 days
-  Why big life decisions should wait until after year one
-  The Five A's for handling a craving: aware, accept, acknowledge, assess, act
-  Why treating your addiction like a frenemy, not an enemy, can reduce shame
One more thing I have to share before we jump in, is I now have 50 Beta users for the ReInvent manifestation journaling app! I am already getting exciting feedback. Yolanda is my number 1 user and she reported the biggest win since I launched the app. She told me "Some really good things have happened, and it could be a coincidence, but I just signed a new client that had been stalling, with a contract value of $2,500/mo!" I'm so happy for her! Great work Yolanda!
If you want to experience the power of manifestation journaling, you can still get a free trial by visiting getreinvent.app
So without further delay, please enjoy this episode with Brannon.

Before I jump into this week's episode, I have a new resource that will help those who struggle with finances. After announcing that I launched a manifestation journaling app called ReInvent that helps reframe limiting belief, I realized that I didn't really provide much context!
To remedy that, there is now a blog . I have posted my own personal story of how I tripled my income with this practice. I also include some of the science behind creating empowering beliefs, law of attraction, and wealth creation. You can find it at blog.getreinvent.app. If you are into manifesting, journaling, and reinventing your identity, you can try the app free at https://getreinvent.app 
Today, I have a very important episode for you, especially if you are going through a high conflict divorce or if you are dealing with post divorce abuse.
In this episode I sit down with Ksenia Muench, a divorce coach who specializes in high-conflict divorce and post-separation abuse. Ksenia walked through her own six-figure, high-conflict divorce, and she now helps women go from feeling completely powerless to becoming the CEO of their own divorce.
In this episode, you'll learn:
• How to self-soothe without numbing or reaching for a substance
• Why the harassment doesn't stop when the papers are signed
• The gray rock method for staying grounded without reacting
• How to rebuild trust in yourself and redefine who you are

Hi friend, welcome to this week's episode, my name is Arlina and I'll be your host.
Before we jump in, I am excited to announce the launch of my new app, ReInvent. 
If you've ever felt like you're stuck, like no matter how hard you work, your bank account never quite catches up to your effort, it's not a strategy problem. It's a belief problem.
One of my favorite quotes is from Dr. David R. Hawkins, found in his classic book Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender, is: 
"The unconscious will allow us to have only what we believe we deserve. The more we hang on to our negativity and small self-image that results, the less we think we deserve."
I've spent 32 years studying behavior change and subconscious beliefs, and working with thousands of people. The ones who make lasting change and thrive are those who do the work of reinventing their identity.
That's why I built the Reinvent app. It's a daily practice, just a few minutes each morning and at the end of the day, that helps you raise your sense of worth by creating a new empowered identity, so you start taking consistent action on opportunities that will lead you to achieving your goals. It's part law of attraction, part behavioral science, and it's built specifically to shift your beliefs around money and self-worth.
Right now, Reinvent is in beta, and I'm looking for 50 people to try it free for 6 months and give me feedback. Just use the code REINVENT6 when you sign up.
You can create your free account today at getreinvent.app. That's getreinvent.app, code REINVENT6 for six months on me. This beta round is going to fill up fast, so register today!

In this episode, I sit down with Barney Whiter, financial and career coach behind The Escape Artist, for part two of our conversation about money beliefs, financial insecurity, and recovery. I put myself in the hot seat and let Barney coach me through my own money story. I've been thinking about it ever since!
Barney shares how watching his parents struggle when UK interest rates hit 17% in 1981 wired him for financial anxiety that followed him for decades, even after he paid off his mortgage at 33.
In this episode, you'll learn:
• Why financial anxiety persists even when your finances are fine
• How childhood money experiences literally wire your brain
• The difference between the presenting problem and the real problem
• Barney's complete toolkit for calming money anxiety: sleep, nutrition, resistance training, and more
• Why fear is a powerful motivator with a shelf life, and what to use instead
So without further delay, please enjoy this episode with Barney.

My name is Arlina, I'm a best-selling author of the 12 step guide for skeptics, I've been sober for 32 years myself, and I'll be your host.
Before we jump in, I just want to share that I have a few coaching spots opening up. There seems to be a lot of people who are sober and building businesses, which in this economy, is really smart! The biggest challenge I see is people who are under earning Due to subconscious fears. I use hypnosis and internal family systems as part of the process of eliminating limiting beliefs and creating a new identity that supports your goals. So if you're sober and you're building a business, but you keep self-sabotaging or staying stuck, I work with people exactly like you. Book a free discovery call at soberlifeschool.com.
Today I sit down with Sonia Kahlon, co-founder of Sisters in Sobriety to tackle Step 5. Sonia has been moving through the steps with remarkable consistency, and this conversation gets real about resentments, boundaries, fear of asking for what we need, and the surprising ways sobriety makes us more sensitive, not less.
This episode is packed with practical wisdom, including:
• Why resentment is called the #1 cause of relapse - and what to do about it
• How to set a boundary without going from doormat to dictator
• The difference between your thoughts and your actions (and why it matters for Step 6)
• How sobriety can actually make you slower to react - and why that's okay
• What the Karpman Drama Triangle is and how it shows up in your relationships
• Why if you spot it you got it is a tool for compassion, not self-punishment
• How to use canned responses to navigate emotionally charged conversations
So without further delay, please enjoy this episode with Sonia!
