Update With Christina Cook, The Broke Girl Society Creator

Ambitious Addicts welcomes Oklahoma-based Christina Cook back to the show. Christina Cook, a gambler in recovery, created the Broke Girl Society Podcast and online community to help women. Christina retells a bit of the origin story of her recovery as a former problem gambler. Like a lot of people who fall into problem gambling as a vice, Christina speaks about life events such feelings of powerlessness in early childhood and later in adult relationships. "Not feeling like I had control in my life was a big catalyst," she said of gambling. For awhile, gambling became her solution. "Even my own [inner] voice went quiet ... it felt like a sense of peace for awhile." Later in the episode Christina recounts how those early traumas and experience struggling with problem gambling eventually shaped her vision for a women-centered community specializing in gambling recovery. Women were particularly underrepresented in her part of the country, so she saught a way for women to have a forum to connect. The Facebook Group Broke Girl Society has about 3500 members and hosts multiple virtual meetings weekly. People from all over the U.S. and the world tune into the Broke Girl Society podcast and visit the online community. You can find the online facebook community here <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/brokegirlsociety/">https://www.facebook.com/groups/brokegirlsociety/</a>. Christina continues to attend conferences throughout the U.S. and the world to gather the latest emerging knowledge in the gambling harms space, so she can bring it back to her audience. --- Do you know someone who you'd consider to be an Ambitious Addict?

Jimena Lerma: Recovering From Anorexia, Exercise Addiction

Nutrition coach Jimena Lerma joins Ambitious Addicts to talk about a long road to recovery from disordered eating and exercise addiction. Starting in her pre-teens, Lerma's relationship with her physical body was influenced by social pressure to achieve an unrealistic ideal. Internalized social pressure drove Lerma to adopt unhealthy eating and exercise patterns, which eventually harmed her health and overall wellbeing. Lerma realized her yearning for an unattainable ideal of thinness was doing more harm than good, so she sought healing through holistic and spiritual means. Recovery came in fits and starts, but eventually stuck. Lerma eventually applied her own recovery journey and experience with practical and business knowledge to launch a coaching practice, mostly aimed at women looking to heal from disordered eating and improve their relationships with their body. Lerma can be found on Facebook via her name or on Instagram @jimena.ler.ma She welcomes DM's with inquiries about taking the first step toward better health and wellbeing. --- This episode is a production of the Self Discovery Sisterhood. It was hosted by Terra Carbert and produced by Kirk Klocke. Music courtesy of Blue Dot Sessions.
