Dr. Sarah Boss, Clinical Director at The Balance RehabClinic, offers a profound look into the hidden challenges that come with wealth and privilege. Behind the surface of success lies a complex struggle—constant pressure, easy access to substances, and the risk of losing balance in a world flooded with extremes. She explains how true healing goes beyond quick fixes and requires deep understanding of the nervous system and early life experiences.
Structure and healthy boundaries become essential tools, especially when freedom can easily lead to chaos. Dr. Sarah also highlights the importance of honest relationships—people who say no and hold others accountable—in a culture where yes-saying often dominates. Healing, she reminds us, is not about thinking our way out of pain, but about creating safety, connection, and resilience. This episode invites us to rethink what it means to live authentically and find lasting balance amid life’s pressures.
🔗 Watch now for a revealing conversation that challenges the myths of wealth, uncovers the unseen struggles behind success, and explores the path to genuine balance and recovery.
