Mika Mumme: I Am Worthy Just Because I Am
Manage episode 397062641 series 3367041
#95: This week Bryce and Liz welcomed Mika Mumme (she/her) to the Podcast. Mika is the Phoenix Denver Manager, a Black woman, and a person in recovery -- all identities she proudly says with enthusiasm. Much of Mika's journey has been trying to figure out who she is. From being adopted and growing up in a predominantly white town, to finding recovery and a place she knew she belonged, finding her identity has been a large part of her journey. Tune into the episode to hear their discussion about recovery, identity, and more, including:
- Mika's experience finding her birth mother and siblings, and how being in recovery allowed her to undertake this journey and feel comfortable in her skin.
- The massive change from feeling chaos and turbulence while in active addiction to feeling peace and acceptance in recovery.
- Chapters of life, and the current moment of peace and acceptance that Mika is in.
- Discipline and routine, and how she knows if she can build a foundation and a schedule, she'll feel even-keeled.
