Choosing Willingness: Nora Franche's Take on Recovery and Mindset
Willingness more than willpower is the key to recovery.
Ever wondered why some days feel like an uphill battle in your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Grateful Blessed Mess', Nora Franche, a certified mindset coach and seasoned 12-stepper, unpacks the crucial difference between willingness and willpower. With her warm and relatable style, Nora shares her personal experiences and offers practical advice for those struggling to find their footing.
She emphasizes that while willpower might get you through the day, it's willingness that truly opens the door to lasting change. Willpower can feel like you're white-knuckling it, holding on for dear life, which often leads to burnout. On the other hand, willingness comes from a place of openness and humility, making it a more sustainable approach to recovery. Nora also touches on the importance of vulnerability and fellowship.
She believes that being honest and humble, even if it means just showing up to a meeting or joining a conversation, can make a world of difference. Vulnerability, she argues, is not a weakness but a strength that fosters genuine connections and healing. This episode isn't just about theory; it's about actionable steps you can take today. Nora invites listeners to ask their higher power about the kind of life they want and to start moving in that direction.
By choosing willingness over willpower, you can navigate your recovery journey with gratitude and blessings. If you're looking for a fresh perspective on recovery, this episode offers a heartfelt and practical guide to embracing willingness and finding support in fellowship.
