In this solo episode of Recovered Life, Chelsea Anderson continues with Part 2 of the Sobriety Myth Busters series. This series addresses the most common roadblocks, misconceptions, fears and limiting beliefs that keep people from giving sobriety a chance.

Some people find that they’re unable to control the amount of alcohol they drink, or the amount of other drugs they use, once they start. Mainstream addiction recovery philosophy refers to this as “powerlessness”.

Alcohol is objectively unhealthy for the human body. Rather than focusing on how to moderate consumption, this episode emphasizes ways in which listeners DO have the power to choose recovery.

In this episode of Recovered Life, Chelsea Anderson is joined by Dr. Brent Jenogan, a United States Marine Corp. veteran and Chiropractor at The Source Chiropractic in Denver, Colorado.

After multiple deployments as a Marine, Dr. Brent found himself struggling with self hatred and alcohol use. While he originally thought he’d become a neurosurgeon, his personal healing journey led him into Chiropractic.

In this episode of Recovered Life, Chelsea Anderson is joined by Emmy Robbin, a Birthkeeper, Birth Trauma Recovery Coach, Somatic EMDR practitioner and actress from Austin, Texas.

What does pregnancy, birth and medical freedom have to do with sobriety? It turns out, a lot.

Emmy’s wisdom gained through her own birth stories (first a traumatic c-section, then a redemptive HBAC- home birth after cesarean) is invaluable for sober women desiring an autonomous, self-empowered birth experience.

Tune is as Chelsea and Emmy explore:

• Emmy’s two birth stories
• birth as a natural, physiological event (not an inherently dangerous, medical event)
• red flags to look for when choosing a birth attendant and/or medical practitioner during pregnancy
• the importance of healing personal and generational birth trauma, Emmy’s offerings as a coach and Birth Keeper

Chelsea’s audio cut out toward the end of recording, so the last 10 minutes of this episode conclude with Emmy’s words of encouragement.
