What’s the Value of Addiction?
What’s the Value of Addiction?
Podcast Description
Early in my sobriety journey I realised that in order to stay sober I would have to learn how to create my life. A life lived from a space that is actually true for me. This is something that I have been & still are exploring, and the tools of Access Consciousness®️ have been a massive contribution along the way.
In this podcast I wish to share with you a different perspective on Addiction, one where you don’t have to make yourself wrong ever again.
Join me & my guests for raw, vulnerable conversations filled with questions & tools to access more of what is true for you.

In this episode of the “What’s the value of addiction?” Podcast I have an inspirational, beautiful conversation with Vanessa E. Kali.
Vanessa is an Integrative Psychology Practitioner and founder of Kalo Rising, where she integrates psychology, consciousness, and pragmatic awareness to expand what healing and recovery can look like beyond treatment. Using the tools of Access Consciousness her mission is to expand what long-term healing and recovery can look like by giving people practical tools that create choice, awareness, and sustainability beyond treatment.
In this episode we talk about her incredible work with the Access Bars & other Access tools at recovery clinics where she’s been seeing amazing results for the last couple of years.
We talk about the beautiful moment when someone that has been struggling with addiction and maybe lost their zest for life get that sparkle in their eye back and the relief in their world when they can finally relax & receive again.
We both have experienced how the tools of Access Consciousness offer a very different possibility, beyond the structures & the rules. And how the tools are opening up to a pragmatic way of creating change; with questions & vulnerability and by empowering people to ask themselves; “what would I like to create as my life now?”.
We also discuss how it’s through suffering & being in survival mode that you eventually can come to a point of choosing something different. Rock bottom is when you stop digging. And from that beautiful new space your life is a blank canvas & you can create what truly works for you.
Key takeaways & tools;
– Sobriety is not something that you get to & then you’re done. It’s one choice, and then another one & another one. Ask; what would I like to choose today?
– Instead of judgement & right and wrong; look at creation! What do you want to create?
– Most things in the world, including recovery, is about finding the answer. The tools of Access Consciousness is about empowering people to know that they know.
