EP 207: The Rookie Season of Recovery ~ How to Build Upon Setbacks & Step Up to the Plate with Confidence⚾


Listen Later

In this heartfelt episode, we explore the parallel between rookie seasons in baseball & the early stages of eating disorder recovery. Through a personal story about my 11-year-old son, I share with you powerful lessons about perseverance, finding purpose in setbacks, and recognizing God's work in challenging seasons.

Whether you're just beginning your recovery journey or facing a difficult setback, this episode offers both spiritual encouragement and practical tools to help you step up to the plate with renewed confidence.

Here are a few key points:

  • Why setbacks in recovery are like strikeouts in baseball—necessary parts of the growth process
  • The story of a young baseball player learning to value progress over perfection
  • How God uses "rookie seasons" to develop dependence, resilience, and character
  • The difference between the scoreboard mentality and the growth mentality in recovery
  • Biblical perspectives on finding purpose in struggle and disappointment
  • Transform your setbacks into stepping-stones by creating a Recovery Learning Log. After experiencing a slip in your recovery journey, ask yourself these three questions:

    1. What was happening right before I felt triggered? (Identify patterns)
    2. What need was I trying to meet through this behavior? (Uncover underlying issues)
    3. What's one small adjustment I can make next time I face this situation? (Build practical wisdom)
    4. This simple practice shifts your relationship with struggle from shame to growth and invites God into your development process.

      I hope you loved today's episode, just as I have so very much enjoyed recording it for you sis!
