NA23-46. Gina Kunadian on Un Alcoholing my Life.


Nature of Addictions with Sara Troy and her guest Gina Ariel Kunadian pronounced (Koon-a-Dian), on air from October 31st

My path to self-discovery was paved with challenges, leading me to over 5 years of personal sobriety. This journey not only freed me from the clutches of alcohol but also unveiled my authentic self, illuminating a purpose far greater than I’d ever envisioned. Today, with experience and passion guiding me, I recognize the profound significance of sharing this transformative tale of sobriety and self-love. This message is essential for those navigating the tumultuous waters of addiction, for women looking to reclaim their power post-dependency, and for anyone yearning for a life of true purpose and vitality. From personal tribulations to a life brimming with purpose, I aim to inspire, guide, and empower.

Gina Kunadian is a beacon of hope and inspiration for countless women. With over 5 years of personal sobriety, she has transformed from a person grappling with addiction to a certified massage therapist, podcast host, and creator of the transformative ‘Shine Process’. Through her platforms, Gina empowers individuals to step out of the shadows of dependency and embrace a life of authenticity and purpose. Her personal journey serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of self-love and determination.

Background Story: Hello there! I’m Gina Kunadian, a woman of faith, a devoted wife, a mother of three, and an entrepreneur who has fought her battles and emerged stronger. Once gripped by the clutches of alcohol addiction, today I stand tall as a beacon of hope, guiding others on their journey towards sobriety.

There was a time in my life when darkness was my constant companion, and every day was a struggle. I was lost, disconnected, and trapped in a cycle of dependence that I couldn’t seem to break free from. But, through this darkness, I found strength I didn’t know I possessed. My faith, determination, and an insatiable desire for a better life guided me towards the path of recovery.

Breaking up with alcohol was challenging, yet liberating. It didn’t happen overnight, and there were moments of self-doubt and relapses. But each stumble made me stronger, each fall more determined to rise. My transformation wasn’t just about becoming alcohol-free; it was about rediscovering myself, about reclaiming my mind, body, and spirit from the shadows of addiction.

Today, I channel this experience, wisdom, and empathy into my role as a sobriety coach. I provide guidance, support, and tools for women who are committed to breaking free from alcohol, without the traditional 12-step program. I’m there with them every step of the way, helping them unlock their potential, rebuild their confidence, and create a life they love, alcohol-free.

But my ambition extends beyond my coaching career. I am passionate about learning, evolving, and expanding my horizons. Whether it’s exploring new ways to enhance my coaching techniques, seeking spiritual growth, or nurturing my family, I am constantly driven by the desire to become the best version of myself.

My journey from darkness to light has taught me invaluable lessons about resilience, self-love, and the power of change. Now, I am on a mission to empower others to break free from their chains, to shine brightly, and to embrace the limitless potential that lies within each one of us. I believe in the transformative power of gratitude, positivity, and self-belief, and I am committed to sharing this belief with the world.

Being an entrepreneur is more than running a business to me, it’s a way of life. It’s about creating impact, driving change, and leaving a legacy of hope, resilience, and transformation. And as I continue this journey, I am excited about the lives I will touch, the change I will inspire, and the future we will create, together.

NA23-04. Jason Umidi, Jesus and Seltzer.


Nature of Addictions with Sara Troy and her guest Jason Umidi, on air from January 24th

Sobriety has a wonderful way of bringing all things into the light, if you’re willing. Detox finally opened the door to sustained sobriety for actor Jason Umidi on January 10, 2012. Gratitude for a life that’s been redeemed and restored permeates his entire being. His sobriety requires him to live in the moment and his faith asks him to lead a life of service, loving as he has been loved. 

After being clean and sober for a couple of years, Jason was looking to share his personal journey on Facebook in the hopes that someone might be encouraged by his story. This developed into a series of popular, short blog posts about addiction, recovery, and hope, known as “Today’s One Minute Reads.” Jesus & Seltzer is Jason’s curated collection of his One Minute Reads.

In Jesus and Seltzer, Jason starts each inspiration page with a quote by a person, actor or character, from which he has gathered strength in his daily journey in sobriety

In this interview, Jason talks about:

  • How to get back with God after all the disappointments in life and with yourself
  • How to find hope, love and redemption in the recovery journey
  • What is serenity and can it be truly attained
  • How to handle regrets without relapsing
  • What do you do when you want to escape reality again
  • Finding your sense of purpose during the journey
  • Recalls painful times as an actor that made him feel like he needed to numb the emotions
  • Dealing with holidays and family drama during sobriety
  • 3 things You can do to jumpstart your journey for sobriety

As a pastor’s kid who grew up in the church, Jason had his fair share of Sunday services. However, none of them prepared him for the disappointments in life – whether it was the relationship that didn’t work out, the dream job that never materialized, the loss of health, or the death of a loved one. For most, it’s simply the dreams that never came into fruition. Church and its collection of “do’s & don’ts” for how to live your life didn’t soothe his broken soul. His faith faltered during his personal struggles, as the chronic pain from 5 spine fusion surgeries overwhelmed him and his bipolar depression left him feeling empty and dead. Jason found alcohol, prescription opioids and fentanyl to be a much better comfort. In 2012, Jason began his sober journey. His renewed life in the spirit promises that all things work together for good for those who love God, and are called according to his purpose. Jason is now helping others as a recovery coach. He is the author of the new book,
