In this week’s episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m joined by guest Spencer T, Al-Anon member and host of The Recovery Show, for a deeply grounding conversation about what it looks like to practice recovery when life gets hard.

We talk about loving detachment, acceptance, grief, and how the principles of recovery continue to guide us through parenting, dementia, loss, and everyday uncertainty. This is a conversation about building emotional resilience that lasts long after the original crisis has passed.

Some of the talking points we go over in this episode include:

• Spencer’s turning point with the Three C’s: You didn’t Cause it, you can’t Control it, and you can’t Cure it
• The difference between supporting someone and enabling them, especially in parenting adult children
• What loving detachment looks like in real life, not just in theory
• How acceptance means recognizing that what is, is, and meeting reality without resistance
• Why grief doesn’t follow a schedule, and how gratitude can coexist even on the hardest days

Recovery isn’t something you master once. It’s something you practice daily. Life still gets lifey. But when you build emotional boundaries, community, and perspective, you move through it with more steadiness and less isolation.

Be sure to tune in to all the episodes for grounded conversations on recovery, emotional maturity, and living a more whole life.
