In this episode of Food Shrinks, we dive into an important question: When do we need to go deeper than recovery coaching, and when is it enough to stay at that level?

🔑Key Topics Discussed:

🔒Two Approaches to Healing – Clearing out the body and mind first vs. addressing deeper emotional work upfront. 🔒When Coaching Isn't Enough – How to recognize when therapy, trauma work, or other professional support is needed. 🔒The Rush to Go Deeper – Why there's no need to sprint toward deeper work and how cultural pressure impacts this mindset. 🔒Intuition as a Guide – How to trust yourself in knowing when it's time to explore deeper healing. 🔒The Limits of Helpers – Coaches, therapists, and sponsors can only take you as far as they've gone themselves. 🔒The Importance of Readiness – Why sometimes it's okay not to do deeper work and simply focus on life and joy. 🔒Recovery as a Bridge Back to Life – Remembering that healing isn't about fixing yourself but expanding your ability to live fully.

We also explore the balance between doing inner work and simply being in life, finding joy, and knowing when to step back instead of always digging for the next thing to "fix."
