In this episode of No More Booze, I chat with Betty Guadagno, a fierce advocate for recovery hailing from Brooklyn, New York. Betty shares he journey through addiction, trauma and a transformative near-death experience that changed the course of her life. With raw honesty, she delves into her family’s generational struggles with addiction and the profound impact of her near-death encounter. She survived years of substance use, prostitution, and the devastating loss of both her parents, who died together in a suicide pact. Her path to healing didn’t happen all at once. It was messy, imperfect and sacred every step of the way. Betty recounts how she navigated her recovery journey, battling the dark shadows of her past while emerging with newfound clarity and purpose. We discuss the often unspoken connections between trauma and addiction, spiritual awakenings and the importance of community in healing. This is a deeply heartfelt conversation that’s both heartbreaking and inspiring, reminding us that change is always possible.Today, Betty lives a life led by service. She supports others in releasing fear, shame and guilt so they can step into radical honesty and spiritual alignment. She is the cofounder of The Wheel: Transformation in Motion, a community rooted in growth, connection, and truth. Her journey is proof that we don't have to be polished to be powerful, and even when we fall apart, we are still worthy of rising. Betty is an absolutely incredible guest, her energy is infectious and her story is incredible.
