Free and Fully Alive

Reviews

I sometimes wonder 'Am I really free?' as I consider the concept of false freedom in my own journey of recovery from alcoholism. Karrie helps unpack this concept and demonstrates what it looks and feels like to journey to freedom. Readers will gain the awareness that freedom is a journey, not a destination, as Karrie brilliantly encourages us to do the work to get free. If you want to know what freedom looks like--if you want to know what freedom feels like--then you want to engage on this journey with Karrie Garcia to live truly free and fully alive.
