EP 241: ‘We Are the Luckiest’ with Laura McKowen

It’s a reunion! Author, teacher, and speaker Laura McKowen returns to the podcast today to talk with Annie about her new book, We Are the Luckiest: The Surprising Magic of a Sober Life. Subscribe to This Naked Mind on YouTube - https://goo.gl/ZJQAZ8.

In addition to Laura’s story and the book, they share thoughts about the “third door,” Alcoholics Anonymous, spiral dynamics, and fear. And, they may or may not make each other cry.

Let me ask you a question. What is better than change? Lasting change, of course. If you've had trouble making change stick, either with alcohol or in any other area of your life, you are in for a treat. I created the 100 Days of Lasting Change to ensure that we don't just change for a moment, but we truly transform for a lifetime. This program is so close to my heart. Thousands of people have been through it, and their results are incredible. But don't take my word for it, check it out at thisnakedmind.com/100days.

As always, rate, review and subscribe to this podcast, as it truly helps the message reach somebody who might need to hear it today.
