63. How Can I Navigate The Frequency Of Financial Sobriety?

In this episode of In the Circle, I’m so delighted to field an inquiry from Megan. She asks: How can I manage my newfound energy and excitement after getting sober from cannabis? So many people don't understand the nuances of what cannabis does, and how it affects our emotional state and our brain nor do they understand the nuances of recovering from cannabis and the kinds of things that one will experience on their path of recovery from that particular substance. Megan is experiencing a burst of energy now that she is on the path of recovery. We're going to get into an exploration of recovery from cannabis addiction and how to manage an awakening of energy that comes from detoxing from substances. Tommy discussesManaging your energy during an awakeningIs cannabis addictive?How to shift your emotional stateHow recovery opens up a whole new worldUpgrading your life from the spiritual perspective

62. How Can I Manage My Newfound Energy After Getting Sober from Cannabis?

In this episode of In the Circle, we’re joined by Reno who brings us an extremely thought-provoking question. He inquires: How is Modern Technology Affecting People In Recovery? Modern technology and social media, while useful and integrated into our daily lives, can distract us from what truly matters - being present, being conscious, and accessing your higher self. There's a growing need for us to navigate these spaces more consciously, striving for real connection over digital interaction. It's about finding balance and ensuring that our digital habits don't detract from real-world experiences and relationships. Tommy discussesIs technology destroying our concentration?Are we addicted to our cell phones?How social media fuels divisionWhy we need to connect more in personThe need to be in the world, but not of it

61. How is Modern Technology Affecting People In Recovery?

In this episode of In the Circle, we are joined by Stephanie with a profound inquiry regarding the loss of her husband to addiction: How do I answer when people ask me how my husband died? How can I talk about the loss of a loved one to addiction? When we speak to people who have not been affected by addiction, they are often uncertain how to respond, and because of that, we are met with misperception and judgment. Yet there is so much more than meets the eye.  This is an episode we can all greatly benefit from and I am so grateful to Stephanie for posing this vulnerable and honest question.  Tommy discusses 
Being mindful of your exhaleWhy we all experience some form of addiction Is there a bright side to codependency?How to talk about losing a loved one to addiction Why there is judgment towards people who experience addiction

60. How Can I Talk About The Loss Of A Loved One To Addiction?

In this episode of In the Circle, we’re joined by Ron who brings a courageous and important inquiry to our community: What am I risking by not facing my trauma and pain? Having lost his son due to a skiing accident eight years ago, Ron has firsthand experience navigating through intense grief and loss. I think we are all intuitively aware that something negative will occur if we do not face the emotional challenges of our lives. Yet we rarely ask ourselves, what exactly am I giving up if I don't face it? On the surface, this will seem like a tragic story, but something quite extraordinary has taken place. I want to share my gratitude for this inquiry and for bringing such a delicate and important matter to the table. Tommy discussesWhy we need to face our grief head-onA better way of dealing with grief and lossThe link between spirituality and longevityCan we continue thriving after losing a loved one?How can we make better choices with our pain?
