In this episode of the Sober Witch Life podcast, Kim Gardner shares her powerful journey through addiction, trauma, and healing. Diagnosed with CPTSD and ADHD, Kim began using drugs and alcohol at 13 as a way to cope with childhood trauma, family struggles, and feeling unsupported. Despite rebuilding a successful career and life on the outside, she privately battled binge drinking and self-sabotage for years.
Kim opens up about the moment that changed everything after waking up in the hospital following a dangerous binge drinking episode. Through spirituality, inner work, and connecting deeply with the goddess Carpo, she began a path of healing, self-awareness, and recovery. Together, Kim and Sunshine discuss trauma, addiction, spirituality, recovery as witches, and the importance of support, honesty, and learning to truly be seen.
