In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Kinga Jakab — Recovery Coach, speaker, and fierce advocate for women reclaiming their power — to talk about what it really means to build a beautiful Plan B.

Kinga opens up about her own journey with subtances, the pressure to appear “perfect,” and the breaking point that led her to redefine success, sobriety, and self-love. Through vulnerability, healing, and radical honesty, she transformed her pain into purpose — and now helps women do the same.

We dive into:

• The truth about recovery and why it’s not just about quitting, but about coming home to yourself
• How to release perfection and find peace in authenticity
• Reframing rock bottom as the beginning of your Plan B life
• The mindset shifts that turn struggle into self-discovery
• Creating a beautiful and loving modern family

Kinga’s story is a powerful reminder that your Plan B can be more beautiful, fulfilling, and real than anything you planned for — if you’re willing to choose yourself.
