The reality is that we can’t “force” ourselves into anything - it’s only when our thinking changes that our world changes. That’s what this episode is about: when we open up to change instead of trying to force it, when we let go of “making it happen” and let it happen, things shift.

Data points (drinking when you don’t want to) are often feared, like they are some sort of event that means something terrible about us. But that is, without question, totally untrue. Listen to this episode as I explain what they are, why I don’t call them relapses, and why they are guiding light that shows you how to move forward!

We all do it: a thought pops up in our head and then we hyper focus on it. Maybe it’s a stressful situation or an issue with a relationship - a thought about it comes into our mind and then we spend a TON of time fixing it. Even though it’s just something in our minds. In this episode I talk about the river of thought that flows through our mind, and how pulling out the dam (aka not hyper focusing on the problem) can let those difficult thought flow through and allow better thoughts to flow in.

The ideas I talk about in this episode are often overlooked - as a matter of fact one of the first things I do when I talk to a support person is ask if they are aware of it! In this episode I talk about the biggest most impactful thing people can do to support others - and it’s not what you think!
