Special Episode: Chatting with John Loxley of the Life in Recovery Podcast Jan 25, 2021

Show notes

Season 2, Episode 6, the first Special Episode of the season!
It's not a traditional podcast chat but we both enjoyed it so much we decided to put it out as episodes of both of our podcasts. John and I come to our recovery from very different perspectives. And you hear it in this chat. But we discussed that head on and found all the ways our ideas overlap.
You can listen to more from John at his podcast, The Life in Recovery (https://lifeinrecovery.buzzsprout.com/210877)
One note: I normally record on Zencastr. Zencastr wasn't working for John so we recorded on Zoom... and I didn't realize until 75% of the way through the convo that my mic wasn't on! So I was recording through my computer mic and it sounds like trash. Sorry!

Monday Motivation: Can We Reach Those Who Have Embraced The Dark Side? Jan 18, 2021

Show notes

Season 2 Episode 4.
Can we reach those who have embraced the Dark Side?
This season, I'll be more regularly putting out Monday episodes. When I have a special episode worthy of releasing, it will still be those. When I don't, I'll be putting out these instead. I call them Monday Motivations and they're short episodes that are meant to start conversations.
What do you think? Everyone who responds, either by social media or my website, will get a sticker mailed to them. The first person to respond will get a magnet! So reach out or post something on your personal social media and tag me (and maybe share the show in the process?)!
If something in this episode upsets you, or makes you feel a certain way, take a moment and do some mindfulness. When you have the words, the thought thrashed out, send it to me! Share the podcast, tell the world your thoughts. That's how we make change.

Step Into Their Shoes with Alex Kaplan Jan 15, 2021

Show notes

Season 2 Episode 3!
Step Into Their Shoes...
This episode features a conversation with Alex Kaplan of Of Substance (check them out at OfSubstance.org). Alex and his team are creating experiences for shared connection and understanding through some pretty incredible short films. I highly recommend them, so much so that I'm also a financial backer of their nonprofit.
Every person who checks out one of their films and tells me what they thought will get a Choose Your Struggle sticker!
Today's Good Egg: put yourself in someone else's shoes for a moment and try to see outside your own understanding.
