Recently, I had an incredible conversation with one of you in the IGNTD Recovery course. She is someone who has been doing really well in her recovery but recently relapsed due to some very real struggles currently going on in her life

Our guests today, Megan and Krista, the co-founders and directors of Women in Dharma, are two fantastic women who lead guided journeys that will inspire you, awaken your higher self, and transform your being. They want to show women that they can have it all — family, career, and self-fulfillment. They’re also pushing the envelope of how they do business, from equal pay across all their team members and truly working together as a team with equal voices.

On this week’s special episode of the IGNTD Recovery podcast, I have special guest Stanton Peele joining me. Now, Stanton is one of those people who is hard to over-inflate the amount of influence he’s had on the addiction field. I’ve been at this for 10-12 years and by the time I got started, Staten had already written around seven books on addiction! In fact, in 1975, he wrote his first book, Love and Addiction, a whole year before I was born

This episode we bring you a live recording from a recent talk we had at YogaGlo to celebrate the release of my new book, The Abstinence Myth. We had a mic set up in the middle of the room, asked some questions, and got to hear the thoughts of others on their experiences with addiction.

This episode I discuss how to achieve real recovery, how to align your beliefs and goals to achieve success, understanding the ‘why’ behind your addiction, how to know when you’re no longer addicted, and learning how to honestly explore your addiction and accept yourself.

This episode is about being unconventional. And our guest today, Dr. Deepika Chopra, did just that. She is an Optimism Doctor and Visual Imagery Expert who started out pursuing traditional therapy. Now, she works with clients and corporations globally to increase their personal optimism factor and help them reach their highest selves. And if you haven’t already heard of an Optimism Doctor or Visual Imagery Expert — that’s OK!

Last week we talked about focus and how to lean into the pain and pay attention to all the things you’ve been running away from and have been avoiding, as it is key to beating your addiction forever. But another incredibly important part of recovery is paying attention to and focusing on all of your victories, as well.

Today we’re doing a check-in, following up with one of our Getting Personal couples from a previous episode, Lacy and Darrell. If you haven’t already, make sure to listen in to their first episode, “Getting Personal: Lacy & Darrell”, on IGNTD.com.

Today I want you to focus. Real change in the brain can only happen by active relearning — not through avoidance. You have to focus on the pain in order to fix it.

Our conversation today is with our amazing guest, Sebastian Terry. Sebastian has made giving his life. Starting out only fulfilling his own ‘100 Things’ list, he began to realize it was even more fulfilling helping others with their own. With that mission in mind, a successful show, website, and movement was born — helping people around the world to fulfill their needs and helping others fulfill theirs.
