This week our conversation was inspired by the Al-Anon daily reflection for 1/16 about sitting and accepting discomfort and how discomfort is a sign that the universe is preparing us for change and growth. We talk about how consistency is much easier when you have accountability whether that’s by making goals with a friend or getting a service position in the rooms.

This year resolutions that overwhelm you are OUT. Instead, focusing on making small, achievable choices each day is IN, understanding that progress isn't about perfection. By treating personal growth as a daily practice of compassion, we can transform our approach to change.

Hello and welcome back! We spent some time reflecting in this episode on the growth we've had over the past two years since starting the podcast and are so grateful to you all for giving us a space to talk about our experiences, reflect and learn. We also talk about how we get to choose what kind of experience we have every day. The external factors don't determine what kind of day we have, its up to us to choose how we respond to situations and the attitude we choose to have. Hope you guys enjoy this one!

In this episode, we dive in and talk about Step 3. We shared our experiences as we worked through this step. We really dug into what it means (and feels like) to live in our own will versus what it feels like to be in God's will. It was eye-opening to reflect on how letting go and trusting in a higher power can bring so much peace to our lives.

We are back! Our apologies for going dark for a few weeks, life has been life-ing and we're just trying to hang on to our seats. But today we are back and have an AMAZING conversation with a friend of Sierra's who is a sober member of Alcoholics Anonymous, to share with you. She shares about what it was like in active addiction, what happened, and what its like now in recovery. She shares about her experience trying to figure out  what was "wrong" with her and what her "ism" was. We had so much fun recording this, so please take a listen!

Hello and welcome back! Lots of stuff packed into this week's episode! We discuss boundaries and the importance of being aware of the motives behind the boundaries we are setting. Is it an ultimatum or is it a boundary? Are we making this boundary out of a desire for that person to change or is it more to protect our peace? When do we need to communicate our boundaries to someone or when do we implement them silently? We discuss all these questions and much more!

Hello and welcome back! This week (while enjoying a sweet treat) we chatted about the Al-Anon program, and identifying when supporting someone turns into control instead. We discuss the importance of listening to hear what someone is saying vs. listening to respond. We also talk about how crucial AA and Al-Anon meetings are to the foundation of our recoveries.
