The gap between what you want and where you are isn't bad luck. It's a belief you made as a kid. David Bayer, author of A Changed Mind, calls it the Golden Equation: desire plus non-resistance equals your result. The block isn't the wanting. It's the meaning you attach to not having it yet. Somewhere between 40 and 60, the exact strategy that made you successful starts to suffocate you. Bayer calls it the Core Program, the compensation you built around a childhood wound that's finally asking to be healed. He spent years numbing himself with drugs, alcohol, sex and pornography before hitting bottom at 33. What got him sober wasn't willpower. It was learning to stop fighting his own thoughts. You don't need more hustle. You need less resistance. This conversation shows you exactly where yours is hiding.

The Vital Spiritual Experience The Big Book makes a bold statement: without a vital spiritual experience, there is little hope for our recovery. But what does that really mean? Does it require a dramatic "burning bush" moment, or can it happen gradually through working the Twelve Steps? Today on The Daily Trudge, we'll explore one of the most important concepts in Alcoholics Anonymous. We'll look at what the Big Book says about a spiritual awakening versus a spiritual experience, why this transformation is essential to lasting sobriety, and how our relationship with a Higher Power changes the way we live. Recovery isn't just about stopping drinking. It's about becoming a different person through a spiritual transformation that touches every area of our lives.

We talk about ways to connect with a Higher Power and address charter defects like pride and fear. Finally, we emphasize the importance of celebrating life and finding joy in sobriety.

Fear, An Evil and Corroding Thread The Big Book tells us that fear is "an evil and corroding thread" woven throughout our lives. It doesn't just affect how we feel—it influences our decisions, our relationships, our recovery, and even our faith. Today on The Daily Trudge, we'll explore how fear quietly controls us, how it disguises itself as anger, pride, control, perfectionism, and procrastination, and why so many of our struggles can be traced back to it. More importantly, we'll talk about how the Twelve Steps help us identify our fears, face them honestly, and begin replacing fear with faith, courage, and trust in a Higher Power. If fear has been running your life, there is a way out.

In today's episode, I'm sharing one of the most personal conversations I've ever had on the podcast.For most of my life, I never considered myself religious. I didn't grow up going to church, and I always associated the word "God" with something that wasn't meant for me. Instead, I spoke about the Universe, Source, manifestation, and spiritual laws.But this year, everything changed.After one of the hardest seasons of my life, I found myself praying for the first time. Not because I knew how, but because I had nowhere else to turn. What followed completely transformed my relationship with faith, surrender, and the way I experience life.This episode is an honest conversation about reconnecting to something greater than ourselves, letting go of fear, trusting divine timing, and discovering that the connection we've been searching for has always been within us.Whether you call it God, Source, the Universe, or Higher Power, my hope is that this conversation helps you reconnect to your own inner knowing.In This Episode We Cover:• Why I resisted the word "God" for most of my life• Growing up outside of religion and how that shaped my beliefs• How losing my dad opened the door to spirituality• Why manifestation first introduced me to a higher power• The unexpected role prayer has played in my healing journey• My rock-bottom moment that changed everything• What Costa Rica taught me about slowing down, surrender, and reconnecting• Why the ocean feels like my deepest connection to God• Releasing the fear of being judged for talking about faith• Why I believe God, Source, and the Universe are all pointing toward the same truth• How reconnecting with God transformed my business, health, and personal life• Learning to trust that everything is happening for us, even when it doesn't feel like it• The spiritual foundation behind my upcoming brand and why this journey has changed everythingKey Takeaways• Faith isn't about religion. It's about relationship.• You don't have to use the same language as everyone else to experience the divine.• Prayer doesn't have to be perfect. It simply has to be honest.• We spend so much of life searching outside ourselves for wholeness, when we've always been whole.• Every challenge is an invitation to grow into a higher version of yourself.• Trust creates peace long before circumstances change.• The more connected we are to God, Source, or our Higher Power, the more aligned life begins to feel.Resources & Links✨ Join my FREE live training: Clear Your Limiting Beliefs: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.marleyrose.ca/clear⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✨ Get Your Free Trial to The Higher Self App: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/higherself.app/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✨ Join House Of Freedom ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.marleyrose.ca/houseoffreedom⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✨ Explore my programs and coaching opportunities: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠linktr.ee/marleyroseharris⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Connect With MarleyInstagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/marleyroseharris/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.marleyrose.ca/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠hello@marleyrose.ca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@marleyroseharris⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Love The Podcast?If this episode resonated with you, I would be so grateful if you left a review.Send a screenshot of your review & email it to hello@marleyrose.ca and we'll send you a special gift as a thank you for supporting the show.Thank you for being here, angel.

Adam S., has been walking in the sunlight of the Spirit since his Aquarian sobriety date of January 26, 2018, living in permanent abstinence from all mind-altering substances, one day at a time. Recovery is Adam's path of awakening, rooted in the Twelve Steps, the Big Book, a Higher Power of his own understanding, and the daily choice to align with truth instead of illusion, love instead of fear. As a grateful double winner in AA and Al-Anon, he has learned that emotional sobriety is the next frontier, and every day is Day One in the work of freedom from emotional inebriation, allowing his spirit to lead where his ego once did. Adam believes that we're here to remember who we really are through honesty, humility, service, and conscious contact with the Divine, carrying the message through the way we live more than the words we speak. As the Big Book reminds us, “We are not cured of alcoholism. What we really have is a daily reprieve contingent on the maintenance of our spiritual condition.”Reco12 is an open-to-all addictions and afflictions organization, dedicated to exploring the common threads of the differing manifestations of alcoholism; sharing tools, and offering hope from those walking a similar path. So whether your “thing” is alcohol, drugs, sex, gambling, food, … whatever… you are home here.  We gather from diverse backgrounds, faiths, and locations to learn from and support one another. Our speakers come from various fellowships and experiences, demonstrating the universal principles of recovery.  Reco12 is not allied or affiliated with any specific 12 Step fellowship. Donations:Support Reco12's 12th Step Mission!

Join the 9-Step Recover Your Soul CollectiveEvery once in a while, I revisit a Bonus Podcast episode that feels especially relevant to where we are on our soul journey, and this is one of those conversations.A longtime listener recently reached out to tell me this was one of the most impactful episodes I've shared. As I listened to it again, I realized how beautifully it connects with so many of the conversations we've been having lately about authenticity, healthy boundaries, self-awareness, and choosing peace over old protective patterns.One of the greatest gifts of healing is learning to be authentic. To be vulnerable. To speak our truth.But authenticity doesn't mean sharing everything with everyone.There is a profound difference between processing and sharing, and understanding that difference can transform our relationships, our healing, and the way we connect with others.In this deeply personal episode, I share an experience where I found myself processing a painful story in a space that wasn't meant to hold that level of healing work. What felt embarrassing and uncomfortable at the time became a powerful gift on my own Soul Recovery journey.I realized that sometimes our deepest healing doesn't happen by telling our story over and over. Sometimes it happens by finding the right container to process it, allowing ourselves to move through it with compassion, fully release it, and then sharing the wisdom that remains.Healthy boundaries aren't only about saying "no."They're also about honoring ourselves enough to know what belongs in a safe healing space and what belongs in everyday conversation.As we recover our souls, we begin to recognize that authenticity and discernment can exist together. We don't have to choose between being real and protecting our peace. We can honor both.In This Episode:

My dad is back and we catch up on all things dopey and life including Alan's deeply specific breakfast routine. Dave also reads listener emails and comments about grief, recovery, Motley Crue, Safe Spot, Steve Poltz, Dopey socks, and whether celebrities actually bring the Dopey. Then the episode replays Dave's interview with the legendary Danny Trejo. Danny talks about growing up in Pacoima, smoking weed at eight, using heroin at twelve, idolizing his Uncle Gilbert, surviving violence, robberies, prison, Soledad, heroin withdrawal in the hole, and finally finding recovery through 12-step programs and a higher power. He also talks about his kids, helping addicts get treatment instead of prison, staying clean for decades, why he can't smoke weed, acting as a way to revisit—but not live in—the darkness, and why food, tacos, and pancakes can sometimes reach people better than lectures.

Trust and Discernment Go Hand In Hand Recovery teaches us that trust is essential. But it also teaches us that trust without discernment can become dangerous. Many of us entered recovery with damaged trust. Some of us trusted the wrong people. Others trusted no one at all. We had been hurt, manipulated, disappointed, or betrayed—and often we had done the same to others. The answer isn't blind trust. The answer isn't suspicion of everyone. The answer is learning discernment. Discernment is the ability to see things as they are. It helps us distinguish between healthy guidance and bad advice, between people who are safe and people who are not, and between God's will and our own self-will. Trust allows us to connect. Discernment helps us choose wisely where that trust belongs. The Big Book encourages us to seek guidance, take suggestions, and rely on a Higher Power, but it never asks us to abandon common sense. Healthy recovery requires both an open heart and clear eyes. Today on The Daily Trudge, we're talking about the balance between trust and discernment, why neither one works very well without the other, and how recovery teaches us to become both more trusting and more wise at the same time. Because trust builds relationships. Discernment protects them. And together, they help us walk a healthier path. #TheDailyTrudge #Recovery #Trust #Discernment #AA #Wisdom #RecoveryJourney #OneDayAtATime #PersonalGrowth

Episode is from 2022The Big Book says we are powerless over one thing - alcohol.Yet it goes on and on about our ability to impact those around us, in both helpful and in unhelpful ways. Powerless means having "an inability to influence". And the definition of influence: the capacity to have an effect on the character, development, or behavior of someone or something, or the effect itself.In this episode I talk about this and I answer some of your questions.email: sarcasticbigbook@gmail.com

I grew up with a young, single mom, and the early years at home were tumultuous. Finances were tight, and things often felt unstable. From a very young age, I could eat as much as my grandfather. There was no real connection between feeling full and stopping. I was a chubby kid, taller than my classmates, and became very aware of how I ate in front of others. I tried dieting, but I couldn't stick to anything. I remember thinking, " Why lose weight if I'm just going to gain it back?”  Even as a teenager, I sensed something deeper -- that I was dealing with a real condition. I attended my first Food Addicts in Recovery Anonymous (FA) meeting as a senior in high school. I heard food addiction described as a medical issue rather than a failure of willpower, like I had read in fashion magazines. That changed everything. When I began following the FA food plan with clear boundaries and structured meals, life started to shift. I experienced mental clarity, my anxiety began to ease, and I felt a sense of peace. After twenty-eight years in FA, the obsession is gone. Removing sugar and flour, along with using the tools of the program, has taken away that constant need to eat -- something no diet ever did. I felt supported through every stage of life, from weighing and measuring food in my college dorm to dating, marriage, and raising three children.  The daily routine of recovery in FA is second nature now, and it has created space for me to grow into who I am. Today, I have a Higher Power, a beautiful community, and a full life. This is a “we” program. I don't have to do this alone, and I no longer live in the struggle

Text and Be HeardWe're recording live from Holy Name retreat center in Houston, Texas, surrounded by people doing the work at a 12-step retreat for compulsive gamblers. There's something powerful about stepping out of your normal routine for a focused Friday-to-Sunday reset: fewer distractions, more honesty, and enough quiet space to hear yourself think. But what really changes people is not the schedule or the setting. It's the willingness to sit down, talk to others, and finally move forward on the steps instead of circling the same problems for another year. We dig into what makes recovery retreats effective, especially the blend of structured step sessions and real fellowship. Over shared meals and long stretches of unhurried time, people open up, compare notes on where they are in the 12 steps, and find the courage to finish what they started. We also talk about why retreats are about more than spiritual growth. Emotional growth is the engine of lasting change, and that means facing the parts we'd rather avoid: inventory, amends, character patterns, resentment, stubbornness, and the beliefs we hold about a Higher Power. A big theme is brain change and emotional sobriety. Addiction recovery isn't solved by willpower or “thinking harder” because you can't out think an emotional issue. We connect the dots between neuroplasticity and daily practices that support healthier chemistry over time like natural dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, and oxytocin through connection, joy, and consistent action. If you've been craving a clearer next step, we also point to the Recovery Growth Scorecard as a free tool to help you start tracking real growth. If this resonates, subscribe to 1% In Recovery, share the episode with someone who needs hope, and leave a quick review so more people can find the message.

The Day He Finally Got Tired of Being Homeless w/ CRASH | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this episode of the Hopeaholics Podcast, Crash shares the incredible story of how he went from living homeless on the streets of Santa Ana for years to finding recovery, purpose, and a new life in sobriety. After first experimenting with heroin as a teenager, Crash spent more than a decade trapped in addiction, cycling through homelessness, arrests, failed treatment attempts, and countless moments that could have ended his life. He opens up about sleeping on the streets, losing hope, and believing that recovery simply wasn't possible for someone like him. The conversation dives into the realities of addiction, what life is actually like for people living unhoused, and the devastating toll drugs take on families, friendships, and self-worth. Crash also shares the turning points that led him to treatment, the people who refused to give up on him, and the moment he finally became willing to change. Today, he dedicates his life to helping others escape the same darkness by connecting people struggling with addiction to treatment and recovery resources. His story is a powerful reminder that no one is too far gone, no matter how hopeless their situation may seem.#wedorecover #TheHopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

How can you be strong in your faith? When you consider religion and various beliefs, how can we know anything is the truth? What is belief anyway and how can we know that something is true? Might it be irrational to believe in a God or Higher Power? Lisa continues the conversation today with NYT bestselling author Eldon Taylor, Ph.D., who examines these ideas and more. He talks about how there are good people everywhere, who cross all barriers – whether they reject organized religion and spirituality or not.   Eldon talks about how what you believe can, and does, have a huge impact on the quality of your life — from success in business to success in relationships, from your ability to learn and master new subjects to your ability to heal your own body. In his latest book, "Questioning Spirituality," he deeply considers the idea of a God and/or Higher Power and how it seems our institutions of higher learning tend to go against this idea. An intellectual elitism exists in which students, and professors, may think that although it's comforting to consider believing in a God, it's simply not rational.  The idea for his latest book started after numerous conversations with Eldon's college-aged sons, both of whom were studying away at Ivy League schools.

How do you know that something is true? What is belief?  When we consider religion and various beliefs, how can we know anything is the truth? Might it be irrational to believe in a God or Higher Power? Today guest, NYT bestselling author Eldon Taylor, Ph.D., examines these ideas and more. Eldon has been a practicing criminalist and is an expert in forensic hypnosis and subliminal communication.   He talks about how what you believe can, and does, have a huge impact on the quality of your life — from success in business to success in relationships, from your ability to learn and master new subjects to your ability to heal your own body. In his latest book, "Questioning Spirituality," he deeply considers the idea of a God and/or Higher Power and how it seems our institutions of higher learning tend to go against this idea. An intellectual elitism exists in which students, and professors, may think that although it's comforting to consider believing in a God, it's simply not rational.  The idea for his latest book started after numerous conversations with Eldon's college-aged sons, both of whom were studying away at Ivy League schools. Although they grew up with a strong sense of faith, they returned home from university as atheists.  Students are taught critical thinking in college. This naturally leads to the questioning of religion. Is it possible to be both a critical thinker and hold belief in a Higher Power?

Depression can feel incredibly isolating, heavy, and difficult to explain—especially when you're trying so hard just to keep moving through life. In this episode, Rev Rachel shares her personal experience with depression, anxiety, addiction, emotional overwhelm, and the spiritual journey that slowly helped her begin reconnecting with herself, her soul, and a deeper sense of hope.This conversation is not about bypassing mental health or pretending there is a quick fix. It's about compassion. It's about understanding that being human is complex, and that our emotional pain, patterns, beliefs, stories, nervous systems, and spiritual journeys are all deeply connected and there is light on the other side.Through the lens of the Recover Your Soul process, this episode explores how depression can sometimes become a protective response to overwhelming emotions, fear, stress, trauma, and self-rejection.

This includes unlearning codependent behaviors. She defines her recovery as eternally spiritually detoxing from earthly programming and living in pure bliss.
