Welcome back to Shawna's Miraculous Podcast – Anything and Everything So Far! In this episode, I'm joined by April Griffin, for an open, funny, and meaningful conversation about life, relationships, fitness, sobriety, and personal growth. April and I originally connected through live-streaming platforms such as MeetMe, Plenty of Fish, and Scout. What began as an online friendship has continued over the years, and today we're catching up on how much life has changed! April shares her personal journey of over three years of sobriety, including her experiences with rehabilitation, sober living, and the unexpected changes that came along the way. We also talk about her dedication to working out, the importance of having a supportive fitness community, and how working out has helped change not only her physical strength but also her confidence and inner dialogue. Of course, we couldn't leave out relationships and dating! We share some funny experiences and discuss rejection, emotional attachment, boundaries, etc. Some of the topics we explore include: April's unexpected journey into sobriety Rehabilitation, sober living, and learning to accept support Working out, personal trainers, and staying motivated Mental health, self-confidence, and changing negative self-talk Dating, relationships, rejection, and emotional attachment Personal growth and making choices that work for you It's a conversation filled with laughter, honest reflections, and the reminder that life can change in ways we never expected.
