In this episode I lay out 10 critical mindset shifts that separate people who stay stuck from those who fully recover. From moving out of dependence to owning your recovery, to befriending pain and playing bigger—this episode is a practical blueprint to get back in control.

Key takeaways (the 10 shifts):

  1. Dependence → Independence: stop outsourcing healing; take the wheel.

  2. Blame → Responsibility: no more excuses; own your outcomes.

  3. “No Control” → Self-Control: you can influence thoughts, emotions, choices.

  4. Stuck Loops → Choose a New Path: if the old path fails, change paths—today.

  5. Avoid Pain → Befriend Pain: pain is a signal and a teacher.

  6. Self-Deception → Radical Honesty: feel and say what’s true, so it can release.

  7. Self-Hatred → Self-Love: compassion unlocks closed parts of you.

  8. Suppressing → Releasing Emotions: learn the skill of safe, full expression.

  9. Short-Term Hits → Long-Term Focus: consistency beats quick fixes.

  10. Playing Small → Playing Big: massive action creates outsized results.
