I Have No Idea What to Say Today (And That’s Okay)


Listen Later

Exhausted from overthinking everything before you even start? You’re not alone.

Well, my friend, I’m going to be really honest with you today – after 400+ episodes, I had absolutely no idea what to talk about for this one.

And you know what?

That’s actually the most honest thing I could share with you on Christmas Eve.

Here’s the truth: Even after 20 years sober, I’m still an alcoholic.

I still overthink everything. I still doubt myself. My brain still goes to worst-case scenarios sometimes.

The only real difference between me and someone newer to recovery? I’ve had more practice—and I know that everything will be okay.

So if you’re exhausted from trying to have it all figured out before you start, if you’re burnt out on constant self-improvement, or if you’re just… tired—this episode is for you.

No five-step plan.

No worksheets.

Just real talk about what it actually looks like to show up when you don’t have all the answers.

In this episode, you’ll hear all about:

00:13: Why I had no idea what to talk about today (and why that’s the most honest thing I could share)

02:30: What showing up actually looks like when you’re tired, confused, and a little bit lost
05:40: THE REAL WORK – How we burn through all our energy overthinking before we even start
07:34: Taking it one minute at a time with you, me, and my microphone
09:45: What long-term recovery actually looks like – not the absence of doubt, but the absence of panic about it

Listen in, and remember: you’re allowed to just be tired. You’re allowed to not have the answers. And you’re allowed to show up anyway.

Welcome to the club, my friend – you’re in great company.
