    13. Recovery from Resentment: Why Forgiveness is the Best Medicine

    Resentment is that gremlin in your chest gnawing on your joy while convincing you it’s power. In this episode, I unpack how grudges disguise themselves as strength, why forgiveness isn’t weakness, and how letting go can feel like unclipping a hook from your own skin. With stories of Facebook rants, AA resentment lists, and a few painfully honest confessions, I explore how resentment poisons us, and how forgiveness, boundaries, and daily practice set us free. If you’ve ever replayed an argument on loop or stewed over forks in the sink, this one’s for you.

    Recovery with Healthy Communication: how to talk to people

    Ever freeze mid-conversation, ghost someone to dodge conflict, or weaponize “boundaries” when really you just wanted control? Same. In this episode, I wrestle with the messy reality of communication—from awkward small talk without alcohol as a crutch, to rebuilding friendships after silence, to figuring out where boundaries end and manipulation begins. It’s not about being smooth or perfect—it’s about being honest, curious, and willing to show up, even when the bridge feels rickety. Because recovery isn’t polished. It’s brave.

    Recover with Connection: From Isolation to Community

    Recovery can feel like a loop of guilt, shame, and self-isolation, but sometimes the way out is simpler than we think: connection. In this episode of Recovery for the Restless, we flip the script and lean into the messy, imperfect, beautiful power of community. We’ll dig into how society glamorizes independence while quietly starving us of belonging, and why building real, honest relationships matters more than ever. From sober climbing gyms to women’s groups, from awkward first meetups to lifelong friendships, I share how connection has been the lifeline that kept me sober, joyful, and human. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the doom loop, this episode is your reminder to crack open the blinds and let the light in. Because the opposite of addiction isn’t just sobriety, it’s connection.

    Recovery from Change: How to Adapt Without Losing Your Shit

    Change is messy, painful, and inevitable. In this episode, I explore how life shifts — chosen or unchosen — challenge us, shake us, and sometimes break us. We live between comfort and growth, fear and possibility, and the struggle to navigate it all can feel overwhelming. Through personal stories, reflections, and practical tools, I share how to pause, breathe, and reshape the narrative of change to find clarity, resilience, and growth. Recovery from change isn’t about controlling life — it’s about learning to let go, lean into discomfort, and open your hands to whatever comes next. Turn and face the strange… growth starts on the other side of fear.

    9. Recovery from Loneliness: Finding Connection that Actually Matters

    When I faced my fear of loneliness, I got divorced, fled across the country, latched onto chaos, ignored every red flag I saw (and some I didn’t), and swiped through dating apps like I was mining for emotional gold — all while trying to figure out how to enjoy my own damn company. Buckle up for a messy, brutally honest, and comically insane ride.

    7. Recovery from War with my Body: Why Surrender Was the Only Victory

    From oversized ovarian cysts to Whole30 spirals, this episode unpacks what it means to fight, hate, and finally make peace with your body. It’s raw, sarcastic, painful, and maybe even healing. If you’ve ever felt betrayed by your own body, this one’s for you.

    6. Recovery from Comparison: From Envy to Freedom

    You were feeling fine… until the internet told you that everyone else is younger, hotter, richer, and somehow sparkling like a Twilight Vampire. This episode tackles the soul-sucking chaos of comparison—how it sneaks into your scroll, your friendships, your love life, and even your fridge. We talk jealousy, curated b******t, and why your brain can be kind of a jerk. But mostly, how to shut it down and come back to reality before you throw your phone in a lake.
