Sobriety and the Empty Nest
A Panel Discussion
(Season 4 | Episode 151)
[Tessa] Something particularly special for you… and SO early in the year!
Kelvin, Andrea, and Dede have a lot to say about their own very touching stories. They are ‘open books’ about their alcoholic and addicted pasts, and we can learn quite a bit from their lives. The Open Nesters Podcast presents a panel discussion on sobriety (drugs and alcohol). Our panelists are intimately informed on this topic. On the panel we have:
KELVIN YOUNG
Kelvin Young is an award-winning sound healer and co-founder of Soul Care Love, LLC. He has been sober from alcohol and other drugs since March, 6th 2009. Kelvin received his recovery coaching training at CT Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR) and his Recovery Support Specialist (RSS) certification at Recovery University in 2011. The first time Kelvin was exposed to sound healing, he discovered the sounds of the crystal and Tibetan singing bowls and gongs calmed his mind, relaxed his body and nourished his soul. He went on to study sound healing with Master Sound Healers, Zacciah Blackburn of The Center of Light, Paul Hubbert of the Holographic Sound and Inner Balance and Satya Brat Jaiswal of the International Academy of Sound Healing.
