Ep 112 - Creativity is an inherent desire every human strives to fulfill within themselves. How we define creativity could use some clarification and I am here to guide you toward that outcome.
I reference the Netflix movie, "The Creative Brain," so for a more in-depth discussion on this topic I encourage you to head over there and check it out. It talks very openly on topics of creativity, open-mindedness, and rehabilitation of humans utilizing creative outlets.
If your sobriety has grown stale I highly recommend that you step into your natural creativity and create something for yourself - right now, today, right...NOW.

Ep 111 - Do you feel the desire inside you to heed the call of your purpose. Having a clear view and embracing what sparks you up and seeking it out - that is your purpose calling you. It is the solid feeling that your journey is not bound by a destination, rather by the experiences that come from truly living in your seat of wise-minded empowerment.
My sobriety reintroduced me to the things I had been passionate about for decades but had released to the degradation of my addiction. Likewise, you are in the position to go back in time, to when curiosity and interest fed you new experiences that left an impact and gradually grew into passions.
Curiosities, Interests, Passions, and Purposes will come and go, will change and grow, will ebb and flow with your learnings, growth, and lifelong evolution. Passions are inwardly focused. Purposes are externally focused.
It is up to you to recognize the fork in your river. Take notice when life is offering you a huge opportunity to leap into a new way of being. Fire this off inside of you by discovering what lights up your curiosities and flames into interests. From your interests your passions will blossom. From your passions your purpose will be engulf your being.
When it is time to seek that which is seeking you the self discovery that you will undergo, if you choose to accept this journey, will empower you in ways you hadn't imagined. Very little of what I have accomplished today was seeded until after I stepped into sobriety. If you think you can or if you think you can't - you are right.

Ep 110 - I am not looking forward to this moment, to this action, but I am looking forward to the aftermath, what I will receive or become after I do this or this is done to me.
This quote from the Yellowstone TV show sparked me to bring this topic to you around my principle of 'Be Decisive.'
You have a choice, every second of your life, to do one thing or do another. Going backwards and using again IS NOT the only choice. You are empowered. You know there are better ways to heal through your suffering. You are not oblivious to this idea, nor are you able to unring the bells that you have heard during this show.
Why on earth would you ever want to go backwards? You have all the choices in front of you when you step into sobriety and journey into addiction recovery. Going backwards...we already know the choices that are waiting for us back there - AND this quote doesn't just go hand in hand with our coping mechanisms around using and abusing. This topic is for you when you are thinking of a negative behavior that you know will bring you an undesirable outcome. Perhaps it's a conversation that goes sideways when you yell, perhaps its a sitting on the couch when you know you really want to be healthy and walking is good for you. The infinite hypotheticals, that are actually our very real life examples, are too numerous to keep writing here.
Going backwards is something to be mindful of every day of your life, sobriety or not, the only time you even need to look backwards is to learn the lesson that experience taught you, take it in, and then leave it in the past where it belongs.
Your future is being written every second of your life. You are the author. Write new things. Don't be like Hollywood and keep writing the same drivel with a different title and a new star attached.
You are better than that. It's time you show yourself this is a fact.

Ep 109 - Self esteem comes from external validation, whether it be from what you see in the mirror, the things you have accumulated, or from another person telling you how they feel about something you have done or accomplished for yourself or them.
Self-worth is valuing yourself through yourself. When you realize you have value and that you matter, to yourself above all others, then you are in control of your mind, your results, and your self-worth.
Are you seeking external validation when internal validation is what will actually lift you up into the empowered state we all seek in sobriety and addiction recovery?
You have worth. You matter. What do you value in yourself? What matters to you? Are you feeding that part of yourself each and everyday. Put the oxygen mask on yourself or you won't be able to help others.
You matter. You have value. I can externally remind you of this but I can not help you internalize it and believe it. That comes from your own self-work on yourself. You create and build your self-worth - I can instigate but you have to do the work yourself.
It is possible because you have already started doing it - now let's do it with focused intention of attention.

Ep 108 - In this episode we are going to discuss how the Adult Ego interacts with the Kid Ego. Some might call the Kid Ego the id because the id is where the impulsivity of a human comes from and when you think of a kid do you also think of an impulsive human? Probably, yes.
Ego develops from the id and ensures that the impulses of the id can be expressed in a manner acceptable in the real world. Great, so now you are reminded of the psychological definition of ego. The ego functions in the conscious, preconscious, and unconscious mind. So the ego is all up in your head.
I want to frame the Adult Ego as the part of you that knows you have responsibilities to tend to in order to become your highest, empowered self. The Kid Ego wants fun now, now, now - and as people in sobriety and addiction recovery we know all too well the dangers of seeking fun, fun, fun right now, now, now over being "responsible" and getting our stuff done.
The Kid Ego can be acknowledged and will be paid the attention it has earned, by sitting quietly and waiting its turn, after we get done what we said to ourselves we will get done.
I will admit, I go off the rails a couple time, but I know you are patient and partly enjoy my "soapbox sermons" and "de-railing diatribes" so you are in for a treat today my friends!

Ep 107 - Humans are meaning making machines so it is only natural that we would seek to make meaning out of why we chose the path of addiction over alternate paths that were also in front of us - whether we saw them or not, they were there.
In this episode we will discuss...
1. How we make meaning out of everything to give it a meaning, structure, and an order to the chaos that is the human experience.
2. Respecting other's model of the world (point of view)
3. Your map is not the territory. The words you use to describe a person, place, thing, or event is not what everyone else is or will experience.
We're gonna go down the rabbit hole. You are after all on episode 107, so by now I think you have happily taken the red pill. Let's go inside the matrix and make meaning out of everything we have gone through in our journey to get to this place where are in today.
This is gonna be a freaking blast!

Ep 106 - Life is a series of goals set and goals accomplished or, unfortunately, goals not achieved. Let's discuss the fortitude you have inside of you right now that when harnessed will lead you to the wise minded sense of self and the empowerment that comes with it.
The smallest next step will add up to thousands and thousands of steps and then you look back and it's like, "how did I get her," and, "thank you internal compass for guiding me to this new life."
My online course, Wise Mind Empowerment, is live and available to you. Hit me up on IG and let's talk about how to get you in and especially how this can guide you to the life you have always wanted.

Ep 105 - When did you decide something was a problem? Are your feelings around the issue swirling you into a deeper, and deeper chasm of undesirable inner-self talk? Are you so deep into the problem that seeing a solution would be like cutting through concrete with a butter knife?
Focusing on the problem is a precarious precipice to find yourself teetering upon. There is a light ahead, it is the light of personal choice and responsibility. After 105 episodes you are very familiar with the notion that, "your words don't describe your reality, they create it."
This episode will go deeper into that so you can firmly plant yourself in the creator role in your own life. There are not seats for the victim mindset on this train toward our best and highest self. You are on this journey with me - so let's make sure were on the same page. We are creators and moving forward that is the position we will uphold with determination, discipline, and resiliency. It's great to have you here.

Ep 104 - Creator, Coach, and Challenger. Victim, Hero, and Bully. These are the two dynamics at play while you are journeying through your life. These two models, and which one you choose to be in, will determine so much of your life. Up till now, you may have not even known you were living in these models. You will after our time together today - and moving forward you will choose to be the Creator of your life, to be the Coach in other people's lives, and to Challenge others in an empathetic, compassionate way so as to spur on their personal growth and development.
If you want to read more about this then search, "The Disempowerment Dynamic," or, "The Drama Triangle," and then search its opposite, "The Empowerment Dynamic." The internet groups these together in search so finding more information is as easy as googling any of the above. Start with this episode and decide then if you want to go deeper. It won't be necessary, but then again, what is necessary anyway? LOL.

Ep 103 - A man whom I consider a best and dear friend passed away and in his honor, for the support he genuinely presented to me when I was using and when I stepped into sobriety - he gets the whole show. It's a small token paid toward a man who saw something in me when I didn't even think I was worthy of the oxygen I was breathing.
I will never forget you Sunshine. You lived life to the fullest. You walked the walked of Addiction Recovery. In 2047, when I hit 30 years, I promise you I will be able to look back, just as you were able to look back on your 30 years - knowing I left it all on the field. I lived life to the fullest. I smiled every chance I got. I experienced the joys of sobriety and recovery and I refused to let the emotional ebbs and flows of life derail my recovery.
I love you man. Like a brother. Forever and always.
The Earth is a darker place and the Heavens substantially brighter because they have our Sunshine.
