Episode 163: Women's Stories Series - Rosario
Monday Jul 13, 2020
Monday Jul 13, 2020
I love having guests on the podcast. I love it even more when they are women sharing their own recovery journey. Rosario is a brave young woman sharing her battle with sex and love addiction. She discusses her struggle with religion and relationships. She shares how bad it got and what made it better. She talks about how self-compassion is the way she started to find healing and what her recovery looks like today.
I'm on a journey to share as many women's stories as I can during the rest of 2020! Do you want to share your story? It doesn't matter where you are in your recovery journey - at the beginning or many years in - your story is important and can make a huge difference for people. I'd love to have you on the podcast! Reach out! amy@worthrecovery.com and let's make it happen!

Tuesday Jun 23, 2020
Tuesday Jun 23, 2020
Connection is such a necessary part of life. Yet, for so many reasons it feels scary and unsafe. With everything else going on the world right now - pandemics, civil unrest, social distancing, protests, etc. - connection is every more essential than ever.
Why?

Episode 161: Privilege, Pandemic & Pacing
Monday Apr 27, 2020
Monday Apr 27, 2020
There is a whole lot going on right now. As we grasp for information we don't have a whole lot of expectations are being put on us and how we should be responding to this pandemic. Truth is we're living in unprecedented times. Times that have never before been experienced by anyone currently alive. It's important, now more than ever, that we truly understand ourselves, our position, and our pace. I burnt out quickly the first few weeks of quarantine and was a mess by week 3. In this episode, I share some of the thinking that helped me pull myself together again. I hope it's helpful for you. And a reminder: Always stay kind.

Episode 159: Your Moment of Free Fall
Friday Apr 17, 2020
Friday Apr 17, 2020
Free Fall is an opportunity to reorganize your life really quickly. In a matter of moments/days/weeks things can look really different. At least it has the potential to. But we must look at falling with intentionality and not fear. In this episode I share one of my first moments of free fall when I got laid off from a job in 2015 and the impact that had on my life. There was an exercise I did that helped me to be intentional about what I let fall into my life and what I let fall out of my life. I hope it is as helpful for you as it was for me.
