Ep. 67 Kari Schwear's Journey Out Of The Gray Area

In this heartfelt episode of 'The Beauty In The Mess,' host Michele welcomes Kari Schwear, a coach and author. Kari delves into the concept of gray area drinking, where individuals are neither social drinkers nor alcoholics but struggle with moderate alcohol use. Kari emphasizes the importance of individuals regulating their emotions and to make lasting changes. She also shares insights on the transformative power of breathwork and the integral role of faith in her journey.
