The Recovery Pod - Self-Help Podcast with Ana & Steven
From the depths of the sea, back to the blockWe back. We're just getting started. Season 2 on the way
Welcome back! In this episode we discuss how limiting beliefs can stunt our growth in recovery, and ways we've found helpful in overcoming them to live the full life we deserve to live and don't feel a need to escape from!

When you feel yourself slipping in your recovery program, you have two choices: either continue down the path back towards self destruction and complacency, or identity the problem and get back to work! It's so easy to slip into our old routines, and in this episode we talk about our own experiences with slipping in our programs, and what we do to get back on track. From meeting attendance dropping due to vibe shifts in the group, to working with sponsors and even maintaining our behaviors outside of addiction, we share our stories with vulnerability and honesty. Join us for our 123rd episode. Apologies for the lack of episodes, it's summer and as you'll hear here, we've been hella complacent. But we back
It's our 4 year podcast anniversary!!! In this episode we kick it off talking about the energy of “taking” and how detrimental it can be for our recovery. Not only did we take drugs, but we took time, money and attention as well. This energy can keep us stunted in our growth in our recovery, and we also discuss some healthy solutions to this. We also deep dive into more biblical topics like how God and the devil play into these energies, and Ana gives us her best Taylor Swift impression. Steven references concepts by Brene Brown and Dr. Joe Dispenza that are key to shifting from a lower vibrational energy mindset, and we close with discussing how this has affected our relationship! Fun fun!! Thank you all for joining us in this wonderful journey and we truly appreciate everyone who listens ❤️
In this episode we topic-hop from talking about our experience with nature and higher power, interconnectedness and presence. We then dive into concepts with authenticity, childhood and how our attitudes in recovery shift throughout our experience in sobriety. Thank you for listening and we hope you enjoy the content.
Old timers. Taking each others inventory. Meeting etiquette. Program structure. So many ways we look at another's way of living and create conflict within ourselves, our relationships and our fellowship because someone isn't doing something the way we would. Join us as we discuss these things in length and ways we've found helpful to navigate through it successfully.
In this episode we talk A LOT about unconditional love - what it is, what it ISN'T, challenges in feeling it, ways of showing it, and using it as a tool to use with intent to get out of a funk. We talk about self love, boundaries, friendship and family, as well as intimate relationships and drama. We even talk about dealing with that pesky cashier that you can't seem to help giving your serenity to. Join us for another episode of The Recovery Pod, and look forward to a new episode every Thursday! We're making it a point to be consistent and build a relationship with our listeners. Thank you all for your continued support ❤️
In this episode we discuss the tendency we have to progress and stray from our growth in recovery, and the effects it has on our spiritual health as well as others in our lives. We share our personal experience with complacency and tools we've found that help guide us back to thriving.

Two friends who talk endlessly about addiction, recovery, mindfulness and self-improvement who decided to record their conversations in hopes their message can be felt and reached by others who may get something from it. We are recovering addicts who believe a great deal of our inner turmoil and suffering is caused by our thoughts, impulses and unchecked ego. We discuss all topics related to recovery and general mental health, spirituality, and relationships, because we believe the problem with addiction is caused by so much more than just using a substance. It's a problem within ourselves that needs to be recognized in order to take steps to change and recover.If you like what you hear or have some feedback, we'd appreciate your rating of the podcast and a comment.
