Kath discusses the fears that held her back, and how she ultimately made the decision to choose herself. Ash and Kath go on to discuss the emotional rollercoaster of grief, self-discovery, and learning to sit with discomfort, and how Kath found clarity through sobriety.
The ladies also explore dating sober, redefining wealth beyond finances, and the power of stepping into life’s unknowns with courage.
