In this candid and courageous episode of The Being Brave Tour, Joanne Goldbaum shares her powerful story of battling alcohol dependence, toxic relationships, and years of emotional exhaustion. Burdened by fear and shame, she knew something had to change—and it was seeing the pain in her children’s eyes that became her wake-up call. Joanne bravely chose recovery. She surrendered. She asked for help. And in doing so, she discovered something extraordinary: herself. Through counseling, a supportive community, and deep inner work, she built a new life—one filled with connection, joy, and purpose. Now a coach and speaker, Joanne helps women break through their own limitations and reignite the spark within. Joanne is also a featured author in the anthology Being Brave: #Celebrating1mWomen and Their Courage. Joanne Goldbaum is a transformational speaker, coach, and mentor helping women rediscover their dreams and live with passion, clarity, and confidence. After overcoming addiction and emotional pain, Joanne has dedicated her life to helping others rise into their fullest expression—personally and professionally. She’s a featured author in Being Brave: #Celebrating1mWomen and Their Courage, where she shares the story of her own rebirth and the tools she now uses to guide others to healing. 🌐 www.JoanneGoldbaum.com 📩 Email: DA@joannegoldbaum.com 🔗 Instagram | Facebook*Need help with launching a podcast?
