E080 Getting Sober For A Midlife Pivot with Claire Westwood
Because of her addiction, Claire Westwood had lost it all. On the night that she found herself in a jail cell, as a result of drunken driving, she also found the strength to turn her life around. “This is not who I am”, she said to herself.
Although under less critical circumstances, many of us find ourselves saying something similar to ourselves. “This is not who I am.” Claire urges addicts to refuse to be overwhelmed by shame, to love yourself and get the help you need to get sober.
Claire Westwood shares her story of the many pivots throughout her life (nursing, singing in a band, acting, performing, coaching) and her consistent interest in personal introspection, development and growth. Now, at 50, she has found happiness, sobriety and a passionate purpose to be true to herself and help others find the confidence to be the best version of themselves.
