Happy to welcome our first not-a-man guest Jada on this week's episode of Casting Light. Jada is a huge personality in the recovery community of Grand Rapids, MI. and has been an inspiration to so many men and women in early sobriety. Jada's connection with Guiding Light began when she started facilitating group workout classes with the men of our Recovery program over a year ago. We talk about defense mechanisms, making the transition from early to long-term recovery, and the connection of physical and mental health. Jada is a certified personal/nutritional trainer and the owner of Jada BOOM Fitness which you can check out at facebook.com/jadaBOOMfitness To learn more about Guiding Light you can visit https://guidinglightworks.org/ (www.GuidingLightWorks.org) Our intro music is produced by PVNCY: https://soundcloud.com/pvncymusic (soundcloud.com/pvncymusic) ...also Doug said he would put his beats in the shownotes...https://soundcloud.com/doogie_schnauzer (soundcloud.com/doogie_schnauzer)
