Just emotions in life, just the full spectrum, you know, from a to z...
Ever wondered how people in recovery handle life's ups and downs? In this episode of 'Casting Light', life coaches Dan and Debbie are joined by Doug and returning guest Jalen to talk about just that. They dive into the often-overlooked topic of sadness and how it manifests differently for everyone. Debbie opens up about her ongoing battle with past trauma and shares insights from the book 'The Body Keeps the Score', which explores how trauma affects the body long-term.
The group discusses the importance of self-check-ins and acknowledges that everyone's coping mechanisms vary. From Doug's quirky love for tracksuits to Jalen's comfort in old TV shows like 'Murder, She Wrote' and 'MASH', the conversation is both heartfelt and humorous. They even touch on lighter subjects like jacuzzis, weather, and Debbie's playful feud with a local coffee chain.
At its core, the episode emphasizes that community is essential in recovery and reminds us that it's okay to not have it all figured out. As Dan wisely says, 'we're just humans trying to do this thing called life together'. Tune in for relatable experiences, practical tips, and a few laughs along the way.
