49. Recovery is My Action with Melissa Killeen SOD, MPhil, NCPRSS
In this episode I am joined by Melissa Killeen. Melissa is an established Recovery Coach and author who published the book Recovery Coaching- A Guide to Coaching People in Recovery from Addictions. Utilizing her master's degree in Executive Coaching along with her many years of personal recovery she realized the the impact coaching would have for those that want recovery but cannot seem to achieve a balance of work, relationships, family, and recovery. She continues training recovery coaches for certification and works with treatment centers on developing recovery coaching programs for their expanding aftercare program. in 2015 she was presented with the Vernon Johnson Award from the Faces and Voices of Recovery, in Washington DC.
Melissa and I discuss her journey from Real Estate to becoming a Recovery Coach and the aha moment that lead her. One of the things that we seemed to come back to is that recovery is a gift that keeps on giving if you work it. It's so easy to get caught up in the things that I don't have which causes me to miss out on the things that I do have, I like to call that the 99:1 syndrome. Life is still going to happen and I am going to have my struggles, we all do, and if I look at my life now compared to before recovery I am very blessed and aware of the gifts that I do have and that is thanks to my recovery. Recovery truly is a beautiful gift that I have been given to myself, and even though things don't look the way that I want them to right now I'm exactly where I need to be surrounded by the people that I'm suppose to be surrounded by. Big thank you to Melissa for coming on and sharing her experience, strength, and hope. I hope everyone enjoys this conversation as much as I enjoyed being a part of it. I look forward to having Melissa back on. As always thank you for joining me on my journey!
Keep coming back, it works if you work it, and you are worth it!
