As we move from childhood to adulthood, we go through experiences, traumatic incidents, compare ourselves to others, and create insecurities around limiting belief systems. We begin to lose an initial state of love and joy that we were innately born with. Little by little, we lose our perspective and our purpose. Bogged down by work, relationships, and stressors, we can mistakenly try to find love and joy in a bottle, drug, food, shopping, or toxic relationship, and can find ourselves inhibited by patterns of thoughts and feelings we're looking to escape.

So how do we separate ourselves from these thoughts and feelings and begin to create a more purposeful life filled with love and joy?

In this week's recovery coaching call, the group helped Jeannine. Living in the past about a potential job opportunity, Jeannine is stuck in a thought pattern that she can have "just a few drinks." The group helps her recognize the thoughts and feelings she is battling and helps her find ways to get out of herself to create a more fulfilling life.

In this week's recovery coaching call, you'll learn:

• How to recognize negative feedback loops
• How to separate thoughts and feelings from our innate nature of love and joy
• How to find joy in the simple things
• How we unconsciously mistake maladaptive behaviors with love and joy

Most of us try to get through our day-to-day lives as conflict free as possible, but when it gets to the point of compromising our needs to make others happy, we can become resentful and unhappy in our own lives. In certain situations it can feel awkward to assert ourselves, and being caught in tense situations can dredge up painful memories and insecurities, left unable to stand up for ourselves.

In this week's Recovery Coaching call, the group helped Samantha. Feeling stuck in a job she no longer feels fulfilled in, she is having trouble standing up to her husband about wanting to leave her job.

The group helped Samantha recognize a time when she first felt this way as a child. Growing up in a violent alcoholic home, she stayed quiet, vulnerable, and weak speaking up to authority. The group holds space and allows Samantha to feel anger, resentment, and process new emotions in order to allow her fully recognize her worth and begin the process of finding her voice and creating the life she truly wants.

In this week's recovery coaching call, you'll learn:

• Signs you may be mitigating your own needs to keep others happy
• Characteristics and thought patterns learned growing up in an alcoholic home
• Ways to challenge common fears that may be holding you back
• How to feel valued in our selves in order to create the life we deserve.

It's human nature to feel overwhelmed. Stress is a survival mechanism telling our bodies to take a break. When we experience stress, we can get caught in a negative thought pattern. These thoughts feed into belief systems that create guilt and frustration and low self-esteem which can cause us to revert back to old patterns and behavior.

When we realize our parenting skills to ourselves have become skewed, our answers to why we continue to mitigate our own needs can be traced back to what we may not have received in childhood.

The process of learning how to reparent ourselves forces us to clarify our "whys" in multiple areas of our lives. It forces us to know ourselves, trust ourselves, and establish clear boundaries with others.

In this week's Recovery Coaching call, the group helped Stephanie. Feeling burnt out and swamped with school work, her negative self-talk has run rampant. The group also helped Jennifer. Having trouble setting clear boundaries with her adult daughter, she learns she must begin the reparenting process for herself before she can move forward in asking for her own needs.

In this week's recovery coaching call, you'll learn:

• How we can get caught in a negative feedback loop even when we're not aware of it
• The origin of negative belief systems
• The importance of self-soothing
• How a life coach can help you begin the process of reparenting

It's in our wiring to want intimacy and bonding with another person. Most of us search near and far to find meaningful love. When conflict arises and we lose all trust and confidence of who we are in a relationship, we can punish ourselves based on what we think we deserve. We can run our lives based on the deliberation of a significant other.

In this week's Recovery Coaching call, the group helped Tim. After eight years of sleeping on the couch, he overworks himself with two jobs and feels responsible for the state of his relationship. With multiple past attempts to heal his relationship, he's come to find that learning how to heal himself will create change to inspire others to seek help and grow.

In this week's Recovery Coaching call, you'll learn:

• How to recognize pitfalls in our romantic relationships
• How we can get stuck in patterns that keep us feeling undeserving
• How to find healing in ourselves to change the state of all relationships in our lives
• How to push ourselves to expand, grow, and evolve, even if it means losing a dysfunctional relationship.

So many of us get caught in the busyness of our day-to-day lives and activities. When we wake up we hit the ground running, accomplishing all we're set out to do for the day. We attempt to get work done, take care of our homes and families, among other goals. But most often, when we fail to hit our knees or take the time needed to ground ourselves, we can find ourselves spinning our wheels, getting tired, and failing to recognize that we have a choice to slow down, take a deep breath, and feel deserving of our work.

In this week's Recovery Coaching Podcast, the group helped Wendy. Struggling with an impending sense of urgency, the group helps her gain awareness by determining if she's running from past traumatic experiences or running towards an unattainable goal due to feeling undeserving. The group also helped Tim. Working two jobs and supporting a family, Tim rarely finds time for himself. The group challenges him on feeling deserving of his hard work and taking time out for himself.

In this week's Recovery Coaching Group, you'll learn:

• How to slow down, take time for yourself, and become present
• How the incessant busyness is a sign we're running from something
• The difference between saying we're worthy of something and feeling we're worthy of something
