253 | The Ingredient for the Law of Abundance
Season 9 Episode 4
In this emotionally raw and transformative episode of The Art of Consulting podcast, Andy sits down with Katie Simpson Weldon, writer, speaker, and certified sober coach, to unpack what happens when we give up our coping mechanisms but don’t immediately replace them. Katie walks us through her deeply personal story of battling addiction, chasing validation, and finding her way back to wholeness not through hustle, but through stillness. She shares what no one talks about in sobriety: the void it leaves behind, the grief that follows, and how healing begins only when you stop distracting yourself from yourself. The conversation covers everything from spiritual awakening and loneliness, to identity reconstruction and choosing peace over chaos. With disarming honesty, Katie explains how she moved from performance to presence, and from survival to self-trust, offering practical insight and hard-earned wisdom for anyone trying to rebuild a life with intention and faith. If you’ve ever wondered who you are beyond your titles, habits, or trauma, this episode will feel like home.
