What if recovery is not just about addiction, but about the patterns, roles, and coping habits that keep high-achieving women disconnected from themselves?
In this episode of The Real Women Real Business Podcast, Shauna Lynn Simon sits down with Jeanne Foot, Founder and CEO of The Recovery Concierge. With lived experience, credentials as an International Certified Alcohol and Drug Counsellor, and training in hypnotherapy, NLP, and somatic work, Jeanne brings a grounded and compassionate lens to recovery, resilience, and sustainable change.
Jeanne reframes recovery as something every human can relate to, from people pleasing and overgiving to overworking, numbing out, and abandoning personal needs in the name of productivity. She explains why emotional sobriety is not about never being triggered, but about having the tools to stay connected to yourself when life feels demanding.
Listeners will walk away with a practical understanding of nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and why slowing down can actually help leaders move forward with more clarity and strength.
