    Worthiness: Reclaiming Your Value & Breaking Free from the Stories That Hold You Back

    What if the biggest thing standing between you and the life you want isn't your circumstances, but the story you've been telling yourself about your worth? In this episode of Naturally High, Jeanne Foot continues exploring the AWAKEN Method, building on the foundation of awareness by diving into one of the most influential forces shaping our lives: worthiness. Jeanne explains how our earliest experiences and subconscious conditioning create the internal narratives that quietly determine our relationships, confidence, health, happiness, and ability to pursue our dreams. Jeanne explores why so many of us unknowingly trade authenticity for acceptance, struggle to ask for what we truly want, and remain trapped in repetitive patterns driven by fear, self-criticism, and outdated beliefs. She explains why most of our daily thoughts are simply recycled from the day before, making conscious awareness the first step toward lasting transformation. Through thoughtful self-inquiry, listeners are invited to question the stories they've always believed and begin separating fact from the fiction of the inner critic. Finally, Jeanne examines the connection between self-worth, addiction, perfectionism, control, and personal responsibility. She reminds us that no amount of external success can heal an internal wound, and that lasting freedom comes from awakening the inner healer, embracing radical responsibility, and recognizing that each of us has a unique spiritual curriculum designed for growth. This episode is a powerful invitation to reclaim your inherent worth, reconnect with your authentic self, and begin creating a life guided by purpose rather than fear. — Contact Jeanne Foot | The Recovery Concierge:  TheRecoveryConcierge.comLinkedin: Jeanne FootLinkedIn: The Recovery ConciergeInstagram: The Recovery ConciergeFacebook: The Recovery ConciergeTwitter: @recvryconcierge

    Bonus Episode: Why This Conversation on Stigma Matters with Dr. Casey Grover

    This week’s episode is a little different. This special conversation was originally recorded for the Addiction Medicine Made Easy podcast with Dr. Casey Grover—an emergency physician, addiction specialist, and passionate advocate for compassionate, evidence-based addiction care. This episode is being released as a feed drop, meaning you'll find it on both podcast feeds to help bring this important conversation to a wider audience. Jeanne wanted to share this interview with the Naturally High community because at its heart is a shared mission: reducing stigma, promoting compassionate care, and helping transform the way we understand addiction and recovery. If you’re new to the Naturally High podcast, welcome! Here we explore emotional sobriety while closing the knowing-doing gap and creating a life you no longer need to escape from. Meaningful change often begins with one person choosing to speak up, advocate, and care deeply. If this conversation resonates with you, we encourage you to also subscribe to Addiction Medicine Made Easy and continue exploring Dr. Casey Grover's work. What you’ll discover in this episode: Why reducing stigma is essential to improving addiction careHow compassionate, evidence-informed conversations create lasting changeThe mission behind Naturally High and emotional sobrietyWhy redesigning your life—not simply stopping a behaviour—is at the heart of sustainable recoveryA reminder that one person can make an extraordinary differenceAbout Dr. Casey Grover Dr. Casey Grover is an emergency physician, addiction medicine specialist, and host of the Addiction Medicine Made Easy podcast. Working daily on the front lines of overdose, withdrawal, and addiction treatment, he is committed to modernizing addiction medicine through education, compassionate care, and reducing stigma for patients and families alike.  — Stigma doesn’t just hurt feelings, it changes medical decisions, family dynamics, and whether someone stays in care long enough to recover. That’s why we sat down with Jeanne Foot, founder and CEO of the Recovery Concierge and host of the Naturally High Podcast, for an honest conversation about what stigma against substance use disorders looks like in real life and what we can do differently. We trace stigma from the personal to the systemic: Jeanne’s experience entering recovery in the early 1990s, the shame that follows families when a child is struggling, and the quiet “whispering” that keeps people isolated. We also talk about stigma in healthcare, including how people in alcohol withdrawal or opioid withdrawal can be treated as if they don’t deserve comfort or evidence-based care, even though alcohol detox can be fatal and fentanyl has made relapse risk terrifyingly high. From there, we get practical. We share how compassion and advocacy help clients face judgment without bolting from care, why nervous system regulation tools matter in the hardest moments, and how fundamentals like sleep, nutrition, and movement can support mental health and addiction recovery alongside therapy and medication. We also dig into language, why labels can wound, and why the best recovery plan is the one that fits the person, whether that’s AA, SMART Recovery, peer support, or something unconventional that actually works. If you care about addiction medicine, harm reduction, trauma-informed care, or supporting a loved one, hit play, then subscribe, share with someone who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

    Awaken: How Your Inner Narrative Shapes Your Life (and How to Change It)

    In this powerful episode of Naturally High, Jeanne Foot explores one of the most influential forces shaping our lives: our inner narrative. Most of us spend our days reacting to thoughts, stories, and subconscious programming we don’t even realize we’re carrying. From self-doubt and perfectionism to old survival strategies and limiting beliefs, these unseen patterns quietly influence how we feel, behave, and show up in the world. Drawing from over three decades in mental health, addiction recovery, trauma healing, and personal development, Jeanne introduces the first pillar of her board-accredited AWAKEN Method—Awareness. She explains why true transformation begins when we stop believing every thought we have and learn to witness our internal dialogue instead. Through practical examples, personal stories, and actionable exercises, Jeanne shares how to interrupt autopilot thinking, uncover the subconscious beliefs driving your decisions, and create meaningful change that lasts. If you've ever felt trapped by overthinking, self-criticism, anxiety, or recurring patterns you can’t seem to break, this episode offers a roadmap toward greater consciousness, freedom, and self-leadership. In this episode, you'll learn: Why your inner narrative has more influence over your life than you may realizeHow subconscious thoughts and emotional drivers shape behavior and decision-makingThe difference between being your thoughts and becoming the witness of your thoughtsA simple exercise to interrupt negative thinking and create conscious choiceWhy awareness is the foundation of all meaningful changeHow childhood experiences and early conditioning create your mental “operating system”The hidden cost of perfectionism, self-doubt, and negative self-talkWhy understanding your emotional drivers is essential for sustainable transformationHow the AWAKEN Method helps bridge the gap between knowing and doingThe role of accountability, environment design, and micro-habits in creating lasting changeWhy small, consistent actions create more transformation than dramatic short-term effortsHow to identify outdated beliefs and stories that no longer serve who you are becoming Jeanne also introduces the concept of “creating a floor”—a practical strategy for maintaining momentum through life’s inevitable setbacks by focusing on the smallest possible action that keeps you moving forward. This episode is an invitation to become more conscious of the stories running your life, update the outdated programming that no longer serves you, and begin creating a future aligned with who you truly want to become.

    Kindness Isn’t Rare, We Just Don’t Create the Conditions to Notice It

    What if kindness isn’t actually rare? In this heartfelt episode of Naturally High, Jeanne reflects on a deeply personal journey to Wales during a family medical crisis and the unexpected lesson that emerged along the way. Amid grief, uncertainty, and saying goodbye to a loved one, Jeanne found herself repeatedly met by extraordinary acts of kindness from complete strangers, including an Uber driver who refused to abandon her at the curb, nurses who went out of their way to care for her, and countless moments of genuine human connection that challenged her assumptions about modern life. As she compares these experiences to the pace and emotional culture many of us have grown accustomed to, Jeanne explores an important question: Is kindness truly disappearing, or have we become so distracted, guarded, and disconnected that we no longer create the conditions for it to emerge? This episode is an invitation to slow down, become more present, and reconsider the impact of even the smallest gestures. Jeanne reminds us that kindness is not simply something we receive; it’s something we can actively cultivate, witness, and pass forward. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why simple acts of kindness can have a profound impact during difficult momentsHow presence and genuine human connection interrupt feelings of isolationThe difference between performative kindness and authentic compassionWhy modern life often conditions us to be guarded, distracted, and disconnectedHow smaller communities may foster deeper social connections and supportThe relationship between empathy, service, and personal fulfillmentWhy kindness may be universal but significantly underexpressedHow witnessing kindness can be just as powerful as receiving itPractical ways to create more opportunities for compassion in everyday lifeWhy healing often begins when we feel truly seen, supported, and acknowledged Jeanne also reflects on recovery principles, community, and the idea that what is freely given to us is often meant to be shared with others. Through stories, observations, and personal insight, she offers a powerful reminder that the world may be far kinder than we realize, if we slow down enough to notice it.

    The Power of the Pause: Mastering Your Emotional Triggers

    In this powerful solo episode of Naturally High, Jeanne Foot explores one of the most overlooked yet essential aspects of healing and personal growth: emotional sobriety. While many people focus on abstinence or surface-level behaviour change, Jeanne invites listeners to go deeper—into the emotional patterns, triggers, and subconscious conditioning that continue to shape our lives long after we’ve “stopped the behaviour.” Whether you’re in recovery, navigating stress, or simply feeling stuck in reactive patterns, this episode offers a new lens: real freedom comes not from controlling your environment, but from learning how to regulate your inner world. Jeanne breaks down the concept of emotional sobriety as originally introduced in 12-step philosophy, and expands it into a modern, practical framework for emotional resilience, nervous system regulation, and long-term fulfillment. You’ll learn why many people plateau after initial progress, how unresolved emotional patterns keep us stuck, and most importantly, how to access your power through something deceptively simple: the pause. This episode is an invitation to move beyond survival mode and into a life of clarity, alignment, and true emotional freedom. In this episode, you’ll hear about: What emotional sobriety really means (and why abstinence isn’t the end goal)Why we still feel stuck—even after making “positive changes”How trauma and early experiences can arrest emotional developmentThe difference between reacting and responding (and why it matters)The role of neuroplasticity in building new emotional patternsWhy we become “hijacked” by our emotional triggersThe concept of the sacred pause and how it gives you your power backHow to stop outsourcing your emotional state to people, places, and circumstancesThe truth about the “pink cloud” phase and why things can feel flat afterAcceptance vs. control: why fighting reality creates more sufferingThe Serenity Prayer as a practical framework for emotional regulationHow to navigate life’s inevitable challenges without numbing or escapingWhy emotional sobriety is the foundation for lasting recovery, strong relationships, and fulfillmentHow to redesign your life so it supports your growth instead of sabotaging it Resources discussed in this episode: The Serenity PrayerByron Katie – teachings on acceptance and realityNaturally High Exercises (contains the questions mentioned in the episode)— Contact Jeanne Foot | The Recovery Concierge:  TheRecoveryConcierge.comLinkedin: Jeanne FootLinkedIn: The Recovery ConciergeInstagram: The Recovery ConciergeFacebook: The Recovery ConciergeTwitter: @recvryconcierge
