As the new year begins, many of us start hearing the familiar question: Should I make resolutions or set intentions? They may sound similar, but they come from very different places. Which one works best for you? With this workbook walkthrough: GROW!

And don't forget to join in on the AMA this week!

I’ll be off work next week and thought this would be a good time to open the floor for an AMA on my Reddit page.

If you’re newer here, I’m 30+ years clean from my drug of choice, married to someone recovering from PA/SLAA, and I’ve done my own healing after betrayal trauma. A lot of you are in one of those spaces…or going through more than one at the same time.

So, from 12/29/25–1/2/26, I’m hosting an Ask Me Anything.

You can ask about:

·       Recovery

·       Healing after betrayal

·       Boundaries

·       Setbacks

·       What helped, what didn’t

·       Or anything you’ve been sitting with but haven’t known where to ask

No need to share details you’re not ready to share. Lurkers are welcome. Throwaway accounts are welcome. You can post questions ahead of time, and I’ll be answering throughout the week instead of all at once.

I’ll also start with a few questions I get asked a lot to get the conversation going.

If you think this would be helpful, please join in. I look forward to hearing from you!

(Please keep questions respectful and be mindful of sharing triggering content.)

In this guided meditation, you’re invited to slow down, breathe deeply, and release the weight you’ve been carrying.

I use gentle imagery and intentional breathing to help you exhale stress, let go of worries about the future, and loosen your grip on past regrets. There’s no pressure to fix anything and nothing to figure out, just a time to rest in the moment.

This episode is especially supportive if you’re feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in a loop of thoughts.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re living as different versions of yourself, this one’s for you. In this episode, I'm talking about compartmentalization and how it shows up in addiction and healing for both the person in recovery and the people who love them. Compartmentalization is a survival tool. It’s how we box off parts of ourselves to keep going when things feel overwhelming. Over time, though, it can quietly drain us and keep us from healing and recovering.

This episode goes along with a new workbook and walks through what compartmentalization looks like, why it happens, and how to start reconnecting the parts of yourself that had to separate just to survive. No worries, though, you don't have to download the workbook. You can listen along too.

Gratitude isn’t about pretending everything’s fine. It’s about retraining your brain to notice what’s also true. It’s also about understanding, “Yes, this is hard, but look at all the good that’s still around me.” And that’s where the healing begins. Learn how in today's episode, including thought-provoking questions.

Black-and-white thinking brings us comfort in a chaotic world. When life gets challenging, like it does in addiction or betrayal, gray feels like quicksand. It means we might have to sit in discomfort, hold conflicting truths, or accept that we don’t have all the answers. But we need gray thinking in our recovery and healing. Learn why!
