Delia McLinden: It's Time to Get Engaged in Your Life.
About this episode
Getting Engaged in Your Life.
Delia McLinden (founder of the lifesaving Archangel Animal Network and Vice President of the global skincare and body care brand Farmhouse Fresh) poses a profound question for us – “When you take away your coping mechanisms. What then?” Her answer – “You realize there are a whole lot of other things [you have] to address.”
For Delia it was consciously changing her relationship to alcohol. As she describes it, drinking had become a thought consuming and physically impacting crutch for her. Though she seemed to have it all together from outward appearances (she has not one, but two thriving careers, has a husband whom she works with, and is parenting a teenage son who just started driving!), inside, she wasn't well. Something had to change. That something was her drinking. We talk about her process of how she broke the cycle of drinking, her perspective on AA and the labels she chooses to apply to herself. We also tackle the big idea that if there is something in your life, in your world, in your neighborhood that you think needs to be fixed or changed or done over, then get off your duff and take action! No matter how small, you must do something, because engagement is the price of admission to this thing called life.
