Hook: You like my advice, right? But what if it’s controversial and not so pretty? Would you still like it then?
In this episode of Charlie’s Toolbox, I’m taking you on a deeply personal journey through grief, sobriety, and finding a connection with the universe. Inspired by the movie Wild with Reese Witherspoon, I share how grief can lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms like substance use—and how embracing sobriety has transformed my life.
I open up about my experiences with Cannabis Use Disorder, the struggles I faced, and the wake-up call that made me quit cold turkey. It’s a story of recognizing how habits can block us from living fully and how divinity shows up when we reconnect with life and nature.
This episode is raw, honest, and filled with reflections to help you consider what might be holding you back from being fully present in your own life.
