In this week's episode of the Mile 40 Podcast, host Bishoy Tadros sits down with Cassi Corona, a passionate advocate for sobriety and host of the "Not Your Drinking Buddy" podcast. Together, they delve into Cassi's poignant journey of choice, empowerment, and personal growth.

Cassi opens up about the complex family dynamics she experienced growing up as the youngest of four siblings in a Latino household. She recounts the emotional turmoil of discovering that the man who raised her was not her biological father and the impact of this revelation on her trust and relationships. Highlighting the cultural influences that shaped her logical and often guarded approach to life, Cassi discusses how this realization led her to substance abuse as a coping mechanism.

Listeners will hear Cassi's reflections on her path to sobriety, which was sparked by a critical moment in Las Vegas and supported by her husband's challenge to participate in "sober September."

Cassi's powerful message centers on the importance of choice, advocating for embracing difficult challenges to foster personal development.

The episode also explores the dynamic with her supportive spouse, the ups and downs of maintaining sobriety, and the transformative power of personal accountability.
