Many life lessons from 12 step recovery are applicable to those in and outside of recovery.

Stop Chasing, Start Connecting- 3 Lessons from My Recovery Journey | Episode 267

I didn’t understand until I got into recovery that all of my attempts to connect with other people were in fact, me chasing them. I didn’t realize that in both my romantic relationships and friendships I was putting way more work into maintaining the relationship than they were. True connection means each person has a balanced commitment and emotional investment in the relationship, rather than one person doing everything. This week’s episode 267 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how to stop chasing and start connecting! Support the show by <a href='https://www.patreon.com/higherpowercoaching'>becoming a Patreon member</a>! In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m sharing what it looks like when you are chasing someone vs. when you are connecting with them and actionable steps you can take right now to start focusing on the healthy, balanced relationships in your life and letting go of the ones with unbalanced effort and investment. Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include: ---Chasing does not equal a high-quality relationship, connection does. ---Connection requires a balanced amount of energy & commitment to a relationship from each person. ---Starting to connect with people involves spending more time with the people you already have an equal connection with and stop reaching out to those you don’t. ---As a bonus, what a conversation with someone might look like to address an unbalanced effort.

How to Embrace Emotional Sovereignty- Taking Ownership of Your Feelings, Not Others' | Episode 265

Most of us have never been taught to manage our feelings, making this one of the most difficult parts of recovery. When we have been accustomed to pushing our feelings aside, we lose the ability to recognize our feelings or generate our own feelings, and therefore, never get to a place of feeling things on purpose. This week’s episode 265 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how to embrace emotional sovereignty- taking ownership of your feelings, not others’ feelings. Support the show by <a href='https://www.patreon.com/higherpowercoaching'>becoming a Patreon member</a>! In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m sharing the importance of taking ownership of your own feelings and how not to feel responsible for the feelings of others. Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include: ---You don’t have to wait for external triggers to feel something, you instead have the ability to generate your own feelings through your thoughts. ---Why those of us in recovery often avoid our own feelings and take responsibility for the feelings of others. ---Recognizing when you’re feeling others’ feelings vs. your own. ---Your own perspective determines how you feel about what others say or do, not the person’s actions themselves. It all starts with awareness. Awareness that you are responsible for your feelings and other people are responsible for their feelings.
