    99. What Is the True Meaning of Happiness in Life and Recovery?

    In this week’s episode of In The Circle, we’re joined by John, who poses one of humanity’s most timeless questions: What is happiness?  In recovery, we often hear about being “happy, joyous, and free,” the ultimate state achieved through the transformative work of recovery. But what does that truly mean? John's question invites us to explore the essence of happiness and its distinction from contentment. This conversation sets the stage for an important teaching known as the Seven Steps to Happiness. This powerful framework begins and ends in unexpected places, guiding us toward a deeper understanding of joy and fulfillment. This teaching illuminates a pathway to happiness and a profound state of contentment, reminding us that these states are attainable through conscious choice.  Tommy Discusses: The road to happinessIs happiness the same thing as contentment?We’ll never find inner peace if we look to the external worldMeditation is the pathway to true contentment Would you like to be a guest on the In The Circle Podcast?

    98. How Can I Maintain Inner Peace When Faced With External Pressures?

    In this week’s episode of In The Circle, I explore Karen's thought-provoking question: How Can I Maintain Inner Peace When Faced With External Pressures? Together, we explore the intersection of yoga teachings, social justice, and the 12-step philosophy. Karen shares her reflections on how yoga sometimes aligns with social causes and the inner conflict she feels when seeking to live from the "inside out" while staying true to her spiritual path. We look at how we can balance inner peace with external challenges, honoring diverse approaches to spiritual practice, and navigating the delicate balance between personal truth and collective values. Whether you’re curious about how yoga philosophy applies to modern issues or seeking clarity in your own journey, this episode invites you to reflect, connect, and find your center amidst the complexities of life.

    97. Is My Sexual Desire Healthy or Addictive?

    In this week’s episode of In The Circle, we’re joined by Denise, who brings forward a universally relevant and sincere inquiry about sex addiction. She asks: Is my sexual desire healthy or addictive? At 42 years old, Denise shares candidly about being at a peak in her desire, openly questioning whether this is healthy or normal. Her vulnerability opens the door to a powerful conversation about the sexual aspect of the human experience—a topic that is often uncomfortable for many to explore. It’s time to remove the shame surrounding this discussion and take an honest look at what it means to be healthy, happy, and free when it comes to our sex lives.

    96. How Can I Make Peace with ‘Good Enough’ vs. Perfectionism?

    In this week’s episode of In The Circle, we’re exploring the powerful topic of perfectionism. We’re joined by Kevin, who brings a thought-provoking question to the circle: How can I make peace with ‘good enough’ versus perfectionism? Perfectionism, often rooted in disconnection and insecurity, can lead to a life of stress and unfulfilled expectations. This episode examines the fine line between striving for our best and losing balance. How does perfectionism fuel procrastination? And how can we show up fully in life without constantly pressuring ourselves to do more or be better? These are vital questions that many of us face in recovery and life. Join us as we unpack the role of perfectionism, its impact on our well-being, and how to find freedom from its grip. There’s so much to learn about letting go of unattainable standards and embracing the beauty of “good enough.” Tommy Discusses: When is ‘good enough’, good enough?Does perfectionism lead to procrastination?Breaking the perfectionism tranceSetting intentions for the best possible outcome Would you like to be a guest on the In The Circle Podcast?
