Today’s episode of iLoOP is a bit different, especially as the voice you will hear will be mostly mine. 

I share with you today a recording of a deep coaching session I had only yesterday with Dipti Singh, who is a life coach and is part of a wonderful community of people who are learning the art of deep transformational coaching with Leon VanderPol. The session I am sharing with you culminates a series of coaching sessions I have had with Dipti and other coaches who are my peers in the Deep Coaching Intensive (DCI) community. When I went into the session, I had no idea I would publish it, nor that I would share so much of my personal life with my listeners.

Dipti was masterful in the way she let me be my vulnerable and authentic self. She heard me and she held me in her compassionate presence. And you will witness a genuine shift occur within me. It is a powerful real life example of how we can find solutions to even the most difficult problems when we are given the space and the silence to let the answers within us emerge.

Alcoholism takes many prisoners, most of whom are not even drinking. Living with alcoholism comes with many social taboos and deep seated shame. Most people feel reluctant to share their story because of fear of judgment, or because they simply want to forget and move on. I am sharing my family’s story today because I believe we need to look at the topic of alcoholism with greater compassion and openness. I hope this episode will spark a conversation and sow a seed of greater understanding of the condition - its causes and consequences. I have to warn you, that because of the unscripted and largely unedited nature of the audio, there is raw emotion and one swear word. Caution is advised! Thank you for listening.
