FLAME with Brad Hook
Building a Life After Addiction and Learning to Shine
Gina Kunadian triumphed over alcoholism and now coaches women through the same passage — from dependency to what she calls shining: confidence, clarity and vitality that don't need a drink.
Gina's coaching works because she's walked the road: the drinking that quietly took more than it gave, the decision that finally held, and the rebuild — as a wife, mother, massage therapist and eventually coach. Her podcast Shine Within extends that work to listeners worldwide.
We discuss what actually makes sobriety stick (community and identity, more than willpower), the alcohol-free movement's momentum among women, and how the energy once spent managing a dependency becomes the fuel for everything else. Honest, encouraging and free of preachiness.
