On this week’s episode of In The Circle, we’re visiting one of my most impactful episodes - Episode 8. In this episode, Elizabeth brings a thought-provoking question to The Circle: Can I Prevent A Relapse Before It Starts?

Today's thoughtful inquiry comes as Elizabeth offers the deeply meaningful subject of relapse for closer inspection. In doing so, we reframe the meaning of the word, removing all shame from its existence, and call in the support of others on the path.

Where it’s easy to point blame at a person, a circumstance, even one defining moment – we learn to take a step back, in silence, to assess the many other variables that led to such a moment. In taking responsibility for how we can get there, it becomes easier to avoid repeating the same actions.

Tommy Discusses:

• Relapse is not a necessity, even though it's very common
• Optionality of relapse outcomes 
• Identifying and traveling to different levels of consciousness
• How can we avoid relapse?

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, we’re taking it back to where it all began - Episode 1. In this episode, Theresa asked us such a very important question: is it possible for a person in recovery to truly reach a place of peace and contentment?

This incredibly powerful question, it seems to me, is really about the entire human race. Is it possible for any person, whether in recovery or not, to truly find peace and contentment?

When we look at this inquiry through the lens of addiction and recovery, we learn so much about ourselves. Our minds are responsible for some of the problems that we encounter, but our minds also create the solutions.

Thoughts lead to impressions, impressions lead to habits, and our habits determine how we act in this world. It’s only by taking action to change these habits that we can move forward into a greater state of awareness and presence.

Tommy Discusses:

• Journey before destination 
• Solutions for anxiety through forming healthier habits
• Shifting your focus from the symptom of a problem towards its solution
• The burden of shame

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, I’m sharing one of the most powerful conversations I’ve ever had with Herb K. Thanks to the 12 Steps, Herb has been free from alcohol since 1984. In 1988, he had a profound spiritual awakening. Since then, he’s dedicated himself to helping others sustain and expand their own awakening through recovery.

Herb’s work goes beyond addiction—it’s about clarity, consciousness, and living your best life. We all struggle with something, whether it’s substances, relationships, food, technology, or money. I truly believe everyone would benefit from going through the 12-Step process at least once. It’s not a cure-all, but it lays the foundation for contentment, fulfillment, and freedom.

Before we dive in, I want to acknowledge the universal relevance of this discussion. No matter where you are on your journey, there’s something here for you.

Tommy Discusses:

• The three stages of the 12 Steps
• Is addiction a lack of choice?
• The misconceptions about the 12 Steps
• The role of community in addiction recovery

This week’s episode of In The Circle is unlike any other because, for the first time, I’m sharing my personal story of recovery. It’s a journey filled with struggle, revelation, and transformation—one that has shaped every part of who I am today. Recovery is never a straight line, and looking back, I see how each moment, each fall, and each breakthrough led me here.

My path began long before I took my first drink or drug. Addiction, I believe, is rooted in childhood, in the ways we learn to cope, seek approval, or escape discomfort. And when addiction took hold, it pulled me into a cycle that felt impossible to break.

I hit rock bottom not once, but three times—two of them while in recovery. Sobriety wasn’t a simple fix; it was the beginning of an even deeper struggle. The 12 steps became both a guide and a mirror, forcing me to confront parts of myself I wanted to avoid. But it was in these moments—facing my pain head-on—that true healing began.

And then, I found something that changed everything. Yoga and the wisdom of my teacher, Guru Prem, opened a door to a new way of being. Recovery became more than just staying sober; it became a path to real freedom. Today, I share this journey in the hopes that it sparks something in you—because we all have our own paths to walk, and healing is always possible. 

Tommy Discusses:

• Why I believe addiction begins in childhood
• Recovery is not a straight line
• The 12 steps are a guide, not a destination
• Every recovery journey is different - take what works, leave the rest

In this week’s episode of In The Circle, I have the great honor of speaking with Pujya Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati Ji—a renowned spiritual leader, bestselling author, and motivational speaker based in Rishikesh, India.

Sadhvi Ji is the author of Hollywood to the Himalayas: A Journey of Healing and Transformation and serves as the International Director of Parmarth Niketan, one of India’s largest spiritual institutions. She is also the Secretary General of the Global Interfaith WASH Alliance, dedicated to clean water and sanitation, and President of the Divine Shakti Foundation, which empowers women and children through education and vocational training.

Additionally, she directs the International Yoga Festival at Parmarth Niketan, recognized globally and addressed by India's Prime Minister and Vice President.

Beyond her leadership roles, Sadhvi Ji serves on the United Nations Advisory Council on Religion and contributes to global initiatives for poverty eradication and sustainable development.

U.S. President Joe Biden honored her lifelong commitment to service with the Lifetime Achievement Award. Originally from Los Angeles and a Stanford graduate, she took sannyasa vows under her guru, His Holiness Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswati Ji, and has lived at Parmarth Niketan for 27 years.

Kia and I have had the privilege of teaching at Parmarth for over a decade, and I am beyond grateful for this opportunity to speak with Sadhvi Ji today.

Tommy Discusses:

• Life beyond addiction is possible
• Healing requires a shift in perspective
• We are not our thoughts or emotions
• True recovery is about connection, not control

In this week’s episode of In The Circle, I’m joined by Miriam who poses a deeply relevant inquiry: How Can I Stay Grounded When The World Feels So Uncertain?

How do I navigate interactions with others amidst heightened emotions and uncertainty in the world? In a time when truth feels elusive and perspectives shift depending on the source, the power of discernment has never been more crucial. 

In times of upheaval, we must hold space for both grief and gratitude, recognizing that being present with what is allows us to respond rather than react.

As we face societal shifts, including political change, it’s essential to remain anchored in the present. Beyond affiliations and opinions, our true alignment is with the here and now—a practice that calls for awareness, balance, and intentional action. 

How do we hold space for others while protecting our own peace? How do we discern what to take in and what to let go? Let’s explore these questions together and uncover the practices that help us navigate uncertain times with clarity and compassion.

Tommy Discusses:

• Staying grounded amid uncertainty
• Maintaining a balance when interacting with the outside world
• The practice of yoga and meditation
• Responding vs reacting

In this week’s episode of In The Circle, I’m delighted to speak with Scott Strode. Scott has been sober for over 25 years and is the Executive Director of The Phoenix, a transformational nonprofit he founded in 2006. The Phoenix is reshaping how society views addiction and recovery by harnessing the power of connection to create lasting change.

The Phoenix offers free in-person and virtual programs worldwide, including yoga, climbing, music, CrossFit, art, and dance. The only cost to participate is 48 hours of sobriety. While an activity might draw someone in, Scott emphasizes that it’s the supportive community of sober friendships that keeps them coming back.

Today, we’ll dive into how this spark of hope has helped thousands rise from addiction because the solution to the addiction crisis lives in all of us.

Tommy Discusses:

• The role of physical activity in recovery
• Community is the thing that keeps people on the recovery path 
• Is medication needed in recovery?
• How can we give back and help someone in need?

In this week’s episode of In The Circle, I have the pleasure of speaking with Heather Monroe, a transpersonal psychotherapist with a unique approach to healing relational and attachment trauma. 

Heather brings a wealth of knowledge and experience, combining multiple therapeutic modalities to help others heal.

She is a certified psychodrama trainer, a certified Kundalini yoga teacher, and a MAPS-certified psychedelic therapist. She is also in the advanced stages of Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing training. These diverse qualifications give her a deep understanding of how trauma is stored in the body and how it can be released through creative, somatic approaches.

Listen to Heather’s insights on trauma, the mind-body connection, and her innovative methods for guiding others toward lasting healing. Whether you’re curious about somatic experiencing, psychodrama, or healing life-long trauma, this conversation offers a wealth of knowledge and inspiration.

Tommy Discusses:

• Healing is not a one-size-fits-all approach
• Flexibility and creativity are essential when addressing trauma
• The connection between the mind, body, and trauma
• How to move from codependent to interdependent
