In this episode of Relational Recovery, hosts West Thompson and Austin Hill tackle the intricate topic of self-control. They dive into how small, manageable changes can lead to significant improvements in one's life. The discussion starts with a simple yet powerful example: making your bed.

From organising your email inbox to managing your car, West and Austin emphasise starting with what's within your control. They stress that it's not about being self-centred but about practising self-control to become a steady presence for others.
