Hiding in Plain Sight with Jelan Agnew
Manage episode 520145531 series 3579103
This week I’m joined by the brilliant and brave Jelan Agnew, Keynote and TEDx Speaker, Life Coach, Wellness Consultant, and Mindfulness Facilitator.
Jelan opens up about the moment her life changed forever - waking up in ICU in the same hospital she once worked at. What followed was an incredible journey from silence and shame to freedom and fulfilment.
We talk about the dangers of hiding behind “having it all together,” how stigma keeps people suffering in secret, and the unexpected joy that comes with living life fully awake again. Jelan’s honesty is raw, refreshing and deeply inspiring.
Highlights:
(02:45) - Jelan’s career in social work and how the pandemic pushed her drinking to dangerous levels
(07:30) - The wake-up call from a concerned client that changed everything
(13:45) - The ICU moment that became her turning point
(17:20) - Letting go of shame and embracing spontaneous sobriety
(23:00) - Rebuilding life in Mexico and rediscovering joy without alcohol
(27:40) - Why success shouldn’t come at the cost of our health
