#003: Holly Whitaker - Respecting the Order of Life

In our third conversation, I talk with New York Times-bestselling author and speaker Holly Whitaker. She’s known for her work in the field of addiction recovery and her focus on the intersection of wellness, feminism, and personal growth. In 2021, she was fired from Tempest, the addiction recovery company she founded and poured her life into. This thrust her into a period of grieving, introspection, and transition. In this conversation, we discussed various topics such as the connection between one's identity and their company, how to navigate major life transitions, reframing ambition and purpose, embracing wonder and waiting for things to unfold, and acknowledging that everyone is in recovery.
