SP 245: Fight the New Drug with Garrett Jonsson Oct 22, 2019

Show notes

Is pornography a drug?

Can it become a true addiction?

How does it affect your relationships?

Today's guest is Garrett Jonsson. Pornography was his secret vice and almost destroyed his marriage. He says that pornography is the new drug and his mission is to raise awareness about its destructive nature

He is so determined to help people combat porn addiction that he ran 30 marathons in 30 days, handcuffed during each one of them. He then biked 3,800 miles across the United States, dragging chains behind him to symbolize the heaviness of addiction.

Now he works with Fight the New Drug, an organization that is raising awareness about the harmful effects of pornography using only science, facts, and personal accounts.

Garrett shares the insidious escalation of his porn addiction, how it damaged his life, and how he freed himself through recovery.

SP 244: Addiction Took My Husband, Recovery Saved My Life with Stephanie Pollak Oct 15, 2019

Show notes

Stephanie Pollack spent most of her life believing the world was supposed to make her happy. If she did the right things, life would be good for her. She spent most of her time and energy saving others and never considered herself.

After her husband became addicted to opioids, Stephanie couldn't understand what she was doing wrong. They got married and had a baby, and he still couldn't stay clean. She was angry, she was hurt, but she never realized that she could be an option.

Eventually, addiction took her husband's life and she was left alone. But her husband's addiction did bring a gift—it introduced her to recovery. Stephanie discovered that if she didn't heal, she'd continue being a victim. She decided to choose herself first, and a whole new world opened up for her.

SP 243: Vincent Pugliese - The Whiskey and Vodka Rock Bottom Oct 08, 2019

Show notes

What's riskier:

Playing it safe, even if you're not happy or fulfilled?

Or daring to leave your comfort zone to design the life you always wanted?

Vincent Pugliese was an incredibly respected and awarded photographer, covering sports events any fan would dream of. The problem was, the media company he worked for never wanted to pay him what he deserved. Vincent took the leap from his secure low-paying job into freelancing where he finally flourished, enabling him to help others achieve Total Life Freedom.

Vincent never aspired to be more because he was controlled by his past. He always felt that he wasn't good enough or deserving of anything. The internal shift happened when Vincent realized that the world didn't revolve around him, and that by living with a generous mindset, amazing opportunities come his way.

Listen to how Vincent Pugliese went from being addicted to selfishness to living a life of total freedom.

SP 241: Spirituality and Recovery with Jacob Evans Sep 24, 2019

Show notes

What if you knew that not only are you capable of creating your own happiness, but also that you deserve it?

Today's guest says we are destined to be happy if we get out of our own way, and instead of living for the approval of others, we live for the will of our spiritual higher power.

Jacob Evans is an admission coordinator for Treehouse Recovery, which has developed a cutting-edge recovery model called the "True Bio-Psycho-Social" program. He is also a Life Coach and the first-time father of a 3-month-old girl.

Jacob always felt a constant need for approval and a sense of accomplishment. He was an overachiever who didn't know how to slow down … until he discovered Percocet.

He tried to get clean, but nothing gave him the tools for lasting sobriety until he found Treehouse Recovery. Since then he has cultivated his own personal spirituality that informs everything he does in his new, amazing life.

Listen to the story of his transformation!

RR 239: Financial Recovery in Sobriety with Morgan Garon Sep 10, 2019

Show notes

There is so much more to money than dollar signs. We have an emotional attachment to it. We can use it for the wrong reasons and in destructive ways. It's one of the most important elements for sustained sobriety, but it's a sensitive area that people feel uncomfortable talking about.

Morgan Garon is a Financial Recovery Coach who helps her clients develop a healthy and unique relationship with money that decreases stress and anxiety, increases confidence, builds wealth and allows them to create the lifestyles they truly want.

In this show, Morgan teaches us what destructive money patterns and habits look like, how to create more awareness around how we use money, and how to start proactively spending and saving in a way that enhances our lives.
