Can you name your emotions beyond happy, sad, and mad? In this final episode of our real recovery series, we dive into the emotional work that transforms recovery from performance into real transformation. 

If you've been doing all the "right things" but still feel disconnected, this episode reveals what's missing—and how emotional intelligence, empathy, and authenticity create the safety and trust that behavioral change alone can't build.

Listen to Part 1 and Part 2.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How to develop emotional awareness and regulate your nervous system

• Why defensiveness blocks healing and how to move through it

• The difference between performing recovery and becoming recovered

Mentioned in this episode:

• Feelings Wheel

• How We Feel app

• Permission to Feel by Marc Brackett
