Renee Leonard Kennedy on Grief in Recovery, Leaving AA, Celebrate Recovery, and Finding God After Atheism

Thank you for downloading the podcast, I’m so happy you’re here! Be sure to follow me on social media for daily inspiration: IG @odaatpodcast and @arlinaallen and on TikTok @arlinaallen 

Today my guest is Renee Leonrd Kennedy, the author of “After the Flowers Die: Encouragement for Walking Through Life After Loss”. I have to say, it was really interesting the way we were connected. Her publicist emailed  me to pitch her as a guest and I read it in a moment when I was really struggling with grief from the loss of my Mom. It was so serendipitous, it really felt like a spiritual experience, kina like a little wink from God if you will. I’m always in awe when stuff like that happens, you know? The exact message I needed, right when I needed it.

Renee is a lovely woman in long term recovery who shares what she has learned about processing grief in order to help others, so love her for that. She also was very candid about leaving AA, finding Celebrate Recovery and lots more.

Before we jump in, I have another quick book recommendation (besides Renee’s of course), which is Atomic Habits by James Clear. It’s not your typical recovery book per se, but the parallels in this book are undeniable. It’s a very practical way to set up your environment to support the habits that lead to self care, and positive outcomes. He talks about how to implement the tiny actions that have a huge impact. I got the audio version first, and loved it so much I also bought the book. If you don’t have audible yet, you can actually get this book for FREE if you sign up for a trial membership on odaatchat.com. I’m an affiliate for audible so if you sign up I get a small commission that should allow me to retire by the time I’m 107.

So that’s it from me! Please enjoy the episode with Renee!
