What You're Craving

In today's episode, I'm sharing one of the most useful questions I know that I learned about two weeks into my recovery when I was catastrophizing about going to Italy, which I had absolutely no plans to do. 
Eckhart Tolle writes in The Power of Now that all worry and anxiety are caused by too much future and not enough presence. 
Today's episode is about coming back to the only moment that is actually yours. 
Question to carry into your day:
What are you treating as a right now problem that actually isn't — and what would today feel like if you put it down?

In today's episode, I'm talking about something I'm genuinely proud of — and something that took me a very long time to build. Consistency. The small, quiet, unglamorous practice of showing up for yourself every single day. 
Taking your meds. Trash on Thursdays. The walk even when you're tired. 
Karen Casey writes in Each Day a New Beginning that each action we take clearly indicates the person we are becoming. 
Today's episode is about what those small kept promises actually build in you over time — and why I think consistency might be one of the deepest forms of self-love there is. 
Question to carry into your day:
What is one small practice you could commit to today — not because it's easy, but because you are worth the tending?

In today's episode, I'm talking about something a client said to me recently that stopped me cold — she wanted to ask her roommate to move food that was making her recovery harder, but she wasn't sure she was allowed to ask. 
And it made me think about how often we decide for other people before they've ever had the chance to respond. 
Brené Brown writes in Rising Strong that in the absence of data, fear sets in and dictates the story — and asks us to practice the hypothesis of generosity instead. 
Today's episode is about what it costs us when we don't ask. And what happens when we do. 
Question to carry into your day:
What is one thing you've been needing that you haven't asked for — and what's the most generous assumption you could make about what the answer might be?

Someone in a spiritual circle I'm part of said something recently I have not been able to stop thinking about — wouldn't it be amazing if our fear voice came in a different accent, so we'd always know it wasn't our truth? 
Iyanla Vanzant writes in Acts of Faith that having the thoughts isn't the problem — what sets us back is when we pay homage to them, when we keep entertaining them until they become habitual and pattern forming. 
Today's episode is about the voice that sabotages you, and what happens when you stop bowing to it. 
Question to carry into your day:
What is one thought you've been paying homage to that, if you stopped bowing to it today, might finally start to lose its power?

In today's episode, I'm sharing something I've learned about community the hard way and the beautiful way — that if you want a village, you have to be a villager. 
I talk about the women's recovery meeting that saved me during COVID, the Sunday morning chairperson position I almost said no to, and what happened when I said yes anyway. 
Brené Brown writes that true belonging is a daily practice — a personal commitment we carry in our hearts. And I want to make the case today that the culture of protecting our energy and waiting for the convenient moment is costing us something on a soul level. 
The villages already exist. They just need villagers. 
Question to carry into your day:
What village already exists in your life that is waiting for you to show up for it?
