This week on the Sober Fit Life podcast, I sit down with someone truly inspiring—my niece, Lisa Cordasco. Lisa is a licensed clinical social worker, addiction expert, and co-founder of Rewired Path Counseling and Consultation. In this episode, she brings not only her professional expertise but also her personal journey through recovery to help us better understand the deeper layers of healing.

For me and Lisa, our individual paths of recovery have strengthened our bond in ways I never expected. While we’ve walked separate journeys, we share a deep connection through our commitment to helping others heal.

One of the most impactful topics we discuss is complex trauma, a cornerstone of Lisa’s work. She defines it as the accumulation of prolonged, smaller negative experiences—like neglect or emotional instability—versus singular, big traumatic events. Lisa shares how this has shaped her personally and why addressing it is critical for lasting recovery.

We also explore:

Neuroplasticity: How we can rewire our brains for healing and growth.
The mind-body connection: How yoga, mindfulness, and nature can transform recovery.
Healthy attachments: The role of relationships in building a foundation for sobriety.

Lisa’s insights are grounded in both lived experience and professional expertise, making this episode a must-listen for anyone navigating recovery or supporting a loved one.
