Stephanie Peirolo -The Saint and the Drunk: Navigating Life's Choices
Description
In this episode of the Shepheard Walwyn podcast series, Jonathan Brown welcomes Stephanie Peirolo, author of the newly released book 'The Saint and the Drunk: A Guide to Making The Big Decisions In Your Life.' Stephanie brings a diverse background to the discussion. She is a board-certified executive coach with academic credentials from Stanford and Seattle University, a recovering alcoholic, an associate of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Peace, and a writer with her own newsletter and podcast.
The central theme of her book draws from the decision-making processes of both St. Ignatius of Loyola, who founded the Jesuits and codified his method in the spiritual exercises, and Bill Wilson, co-founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, who introduced the 12-step program. Stephanie aims to adapt these frameworks to be accessible to individuals regardless of their religious or spiritual beliefs, transforming them into practical tools for making intentional and ethical decisions in daily life.
