    Four Pillars of Recovery - with Scott Blundo

    What does real recovery look like beyond stopping problematic sexual behaviors? And how can someone move from managing behaviors to becoming a more emotionally aware, accountable, and trustworthy partner? This week Amie and Alana sit down with Scott Blundo, a trauma-informed recovery coach at Choose Recovery Services, to explore his four pillars of recovery: emotional intelligence, moving slowly, ownership, and self-sufficiency. In this episode, you'll learn: Why emotional intelligence is foundational to emotional regulation and empathy. How slowing down can interrupt reactive patterns and protect relationships. What genuine accountability looks like in everyday moments. Why trust grows through consistent, kept promises.

    What Safety Actually Feels Like (And Why It Feels So Unfamiliar)

    After betrayal, peace and consistency can sometimes feel surprisingly uncomfortable—even when nothing is actually wrong.  This week, Alana explores why the nervous system can mistake what is familiar for what is safe, how hypervigilance can make calm feel threatening, and why safety has to be relearned over time. You’ll also learn a simple question to help you distinguish between something feeling unfamiliar and something truly feeling unsafe.
