Today I interview, intuitive Eating Coach Tiffany Thoen. Not only does she have an inspiring journey of recovering from alcohol at a young age, but her take on,"breaking free", of the stigmas and rules around quitting drinking, outside of the 12 step model, and living an alcohol free life, are right in line with the message of my work. We speak to the rising of the divine feminine in our culture through the evolution of emotional intelligence for all beings. It is the invitation to become more fully who we are, that makes the need for alcohol, less. Currently, she takes this same approach in to her Intuitive Eating Coaching practice, helping people find freedom and joy in their relationship to food.

Intuitive eating with Coach Tiffany Thoen RN. In this episode, we look at the dysfunctional relationship, so many of us have with eating and how when we get sober, we often use food as a substitute for alcohol. To learn more, visit the show notes.
As we alluded to in our conversation with Lynn: The instance of trauma and adverse childhood experiences is high for people in recovery, with at least two-thirds of us having experienced some kind of trauma. We have a responsibility as members of the recovery community to be more trauma-aware so that we can support one another in getting the help we need, but also in being mindful of how certain behaviors could be triggering. Here are some of the ways we can be more trauma-aware: If leading a meditation, consider that asking someone to close their eyes to meditate might be triggering. Provide alternative options Consider leaving the door to a meeting open Don’t block the exits Do not silence or minimize others’ experiences Do not practice toxic positivity Accept differences Understand that the 12-steps or another mutual-aid program cannot “fix” an individual and that outside help is required If in a sponsor role, consider pausing when someone mentions a trauma and know your limitations. If unsure, refer to guidelines about the role of a sponsor Know that a meeting is not the answer if someone is exhausted, or feeling triggered Do not make someone stay in a meeting if they try to leave because they are feeling triggered Read books about trauma: Childhood Disrupted, The Body Keeps the Score, and Trauma and the 12 Steps Never suggest that a sponsee make amends to an abuser Do not shame someone, or suggest they do more research, if one method of recovery doesn’t work for them We invite you to subscribe to our podcast, and tell us the ways in which you’re breaking free in our free Facebook community: Breaking Free Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/breakingfreecommunity. #Recovery #Allpaths, #allpathways, #recoverypathways, #BreakingFree, #12steprecovery, #AlcoholicsAnonymous, #alternativepathways, #alternativesToAA, #sober, #sobriety, diets dont work, anti-diet, Intuitive Eating, Diet culture, why cant I stop eating, help with overeating, binge eating, binging, life after 12 step recovery, body attunement, Disordered eating, eating disorders, sugar addiction, Alcoholism, addiction, how to live sober, sobriety, how to stop drinking, recovery podcast, sobriety podcast, what is Intuitive Eating, body respect, HAES, health at every size, body positivity, BoPo, food recovery, Breaking Free Recovery, Breaking Free Podcast, Breaking Free: Your Recovery.

In this episode we talk to Dr. Jamie Marich about trauma. We discuss how to approach trauma healing in recovery and how to support yourself, as well as how to incorporate creativity and mindfulness into your healing process. What we particularly love about Jamie — aside from her expertise on trauma healing — is her use of movement in trauma process, particularly dance, yoga, and martial arts. We talk about the use of those mediums to aid healing and enhance our creative abilities. Both Liv and Tiffany love her book, Process Not Perfection Last, we talk about how trauma can be identified within mutual-aid settings and how we can all be more trauma-aware in helping others with their journey. More about Jamie: Jamie Marich, Ph.D., LPCC-S, LICDC-CS, REAT, RYT-200, RMT travels internationally speaking on topics related to EMDR therapy, trauma, addiction, expressive arts, and mindfulness while maintaining a private practice in her home base of Warren, OH.

Boundaries? What are those? They are so helpful in recovery (and life in general). noun: boundary; plural noun: boundaries a line that marks the limits of an area; a dividing line. Not that kind of boundary, silly! Personal boundaries! Tiffany shares that for her, setting a boundary represents the ability to honor our needs and not try to fix others. This blog post on loveisrespect.org called “Love is Setting Boundaries: “What Are My Boundaries?” helps clarify what boundaries might look like in a relationship. Liv shares what boundaries mean to her, and introduces Tiffany and our listeners to the awesome Nedra Tawwab and her insightful posts on boundaries. We talk about problems that we had before we started intentionally practicing boundaries, such as resentment. Check out Melody Beattie’s book Codependent No More. We then dive into the how to’s of of setting boundaries, even in the middle of a conflict. We love what our friend Veronica Valli of Soberful says about boundaries: “Say what you mean, mean what you say and say it without being mean.” And again the fabulous Nedra Tawwab has an awesome post for us: We know it's not easy, so be gentle with yourself and tune in for the rest!

So many topics, so little time! Recovery, beyond the 12 Steps, reducing stigma & shame, and "Breaking Free" (their new podcast) from anything that no longer serves us!
I recently spoke with the amazing Tiffany Thoen about the mindset around food and how we can change that to work in our benefit when it comes to how we manage our weight and diet. As an RN and Intuitive Eating Coach, Tiffany helps women with disordered eating finally heal their relationship with food so they find freedom, balance, and satisfaction. She helps clients to stop the binge/shame/restrict cycle. Her coaching is focused on body respect and is a Health At Every Size and anti-diet approach. Through Intuitive Eating, clients learn to fully honor and nourish themselves-mind, body and spirit. Tiffany's passion is helping women to stop wasting their precious energy drained by the food and body struggle so that they can use their energy to be powerful leaders in the world. She has been sober for 21 years and feels that recovery has informed all areas of her life, especially her work as a nurse and a coach. When she isn’t coaching, speaking, and podcasting, she enjoys spending time with friends and family, being in nature and creating more fun, adventure, and play in her life. You can find her at: https://www.coachtiffanyrn.com/ and https://www.coachtiffanyrn.com/podcast.html
Friends Liv Pennelle and Tiffany Thoen had such great discussions about recovery that they decided to start recording them.

How many times have we heard the phrases: “dry drunk,” “recovery lite” “sober but not in recovery?” “chronic relapser” “they can’t get out of their own way” Then there are all the pejorative terms, “Junkie,” “Addict,” and “Alcoholic” And unhelpful slogans: “Take the cotton wool out of your ears and put it in your mouth,” and “Our secrets keep us sick” How many of these terms do we use every day? In this episode Liv and Tiffany explore how shaming this language is and how it can potentially impact people in recovery and those seeking it. We encourage everyone to think about the language they use and how they are contributing to stigma both directly and indirectly.

Show notes: In this episode, Liv and Tiffany explore the terms “real alcoholic” and “real recovery.” For example, people in the rooms often say “you might be sober, but you’re not in real recovery.” The overall issue of using terms like these is the implication that you have to get to a certain state (being a “real alcoholic”, or hitting “rock bottom,” for AA to work. Anyone feeling that AA isn’t the right fit for someone often hears that they can’t really have a problem and they aren’t desperate enough. This is not only harmful, it’s untrue. AA is not the validator of anyone’s problem: only the individual suffering can truly assess if they have a problem, and that might be a “grey area” drinking problem or acute alcohol use disorder. This thinking doesn’t allow for other pathways of recovery, either. Just because AA isn’t the right fit for someone, that doesn’t mean that they haven’t had enough pain. The fact that they have walked through the doors of AA is enough reason to extend the hand of recovery. But to imply that they don’t have AUD because the program isn’t the right fit is shaming. It pushes someone back to using because they think they haven’t suffered enough. Second, it’s also inappropriate for someone in AA to think they have the authority of a doctor, or of the person with AUD. “Real recovery” is a term often bandied around by people in 12-step programs. For example, they sometimes say that you might be sober but you might not be in “real recovery.” I cannot stress enough that for someone who is seeking help with harmful drinking and using behaviors is recovery. Recovery is an individualized process that isn’t beholden to a certain pathway or program. We have to stop speaking with such authority that we know of the only way to recover. Just because something works for us does not mean it will work for everyone else. There is always another way. And we shouldn’t shame anyone for discovering their own path.

Life After 12-Step Recovery In this episode, Liv and Tiffany explore the process of leaving 12-step recovery and how life evolved afterwards. So often we hear in the rooms that to leave means one thing: returning to use. But that simply hasn’t been the case for us. What was particularly intriguing to Liv was that when she finally did leave, she realized that she was relying heavily upon the fellowship, and she started to look at the conditioning that you cannot trust independent thought, such as the desire to try another pathway. She also found that meetings were a crutch in difficult times. Leaving enabled Liv and Tiffany to depend on themselves and to develop more effective individual coping strategies. For Liv, this meant learning about autonomy and recovering her agency. Today the decisions they make are ones that are right for them as individuals, rather than a prescribed response. For Tiffany, when she discovered intuitive eating, she realized she was already whole and complete. Regaining her agency allowed her to begin to trust herself, which was core to her healing her relationship with food. In turn, she also realized that some parts of 12-step messaging were not working for her. By speaking openly about this topic, Liv and Tiffany hope to validate others’ concerns, and to show that people do exist in recovery even if they have left the program that initially provided a framework for them to find recovery.

010: Did AA Save Your Life Or Did You? In this episode, Liv and Tiffany explore the role of AA in their lives and whether they believe it saved them. So often we hear people say the phrase “AA saved my life,” or “if it wasn’t for AA I wouldn’t be alive.” Liv has spent a long time dissecting this statement. She’s even written about it (link here). It is her belief that to be empowered and autonomous in her recovery, she would have to be the one to save her life — AA gave her the tools and framework to do that initial work, but only she could do that. Simply attending AA didn’t save her. AA was a touchstone for her: it was a place to land and to find sober community, and a framework to look into her substance use disorder. It then became an invitation to look deeper, and that work took Liv outside of AA. For Liv, the challenge we encounter when we praise a fellowship and program for saving our lives is that we create an unhealthy dependence upon it. And ultimately, we can end up believing that our recovery is incumbent upon continued attendance at meetings, involvement in fellowship, and continued step work. That hasn’t been the case for Liv or Tiffany. Tiffany believes that initially AA did save her life — she didn’t believe that she was capable of doing so herself. She also didn’t realize the scope of her substance use disorder. Later it became more of a habit to make the statement that AA saved her life, although she’s not sure what would’ve happened had she not gone to her first meeting. She now believes that the choices she makes on a daily basis lead her to where she is today.

In this episode we talk about something that we all experience in early recovery: How to have sober sex. We talk to expert Jennifer Matesa on how our sex drive changes in recovery, the problems and anxieties we experience, orgasms, self-pleasure, and feeling at home in our bodies. “Recovery is attuning to your own wellness.” Jennifer Matesa, LSW is author of four nonfiction books about body, mind, and human well-being, the most recent of which is Sex in Recovery: A Meeting between the Covers (Hazelden, 2016). She is a licensed social worker and psychotherapist and has spoken and written widely about health and well-being. Her blog about addiction and recovery, Guinevere Gets Sober (http://guineveregetssober.com), was one of the first websites to address addiction as a public-health issue, and it has always been dedicated to giving the public reliable information and commentary about substance use disorders without advertising or fees. Her early commitment to removing the stigma from addiction and recovery earned her a fellowship at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). You can find all of these books on Amazon, via this link. "Sex in Recovery is a work long overdue. In a frank, personal, and highly personable way, Jennifer Matesa opens a topic usually only whispered about: the essential role of sexual healing in sobriety. Many readers will be grateful to her." —Gabor Maté, MD, author of In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction We invite you to subscribe to our podcast, and to tell us the ways in which you’re breaking free in our free Facebook community: Breaking Free Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/breakingfreecommunity #Recovery #Allpaths, #allpathways, #recoverypathways, #BreakingFree, #12steprecovery, #AlcoholicsAnonymous, #alternativepathways, #alternativesToAA, #sober, #sobriety, diets dont work, anti-diet, Intuitive Eating, Diet culture, why cant I stop eating, help with overeating, binge eating, binging, life after 12 step recovery, body attunement, Disordered eating, eating disorders, sugar addiction, Alcoholism, addiction, how to live sober, sobriety, how to stop drinking, recovery podcast, sobriety podcast, what is Intuitive Eating, body respect, HAES, health at every size, body positivity, BoPo, food recovery, Breaking Free Recovery, Breaking Free Podcast, Breaking Free: Your Recovery.

Tiffany helps women; more specifically women leaders, who are done wasting their precious energy on the constant mental chatter about food and their body. She supports them in finally healing their relationship with food using Intuitive Eating. She is passionate about this because she sees how much the struggle with food is costing us. She herself has experienced the freedom of healing her relationship with food, so she understands the struggle first hand. With Intuitive Eating we stop making our food choices based on "shoulds" and instead we build trust with our bodies, so it can guide us. We learn to listen to and honor the signals our body is giving us.

I'm so excited today to have Tiffany Thoen on the show! She is a beautifully grounded soul and I learned so much from her during our talk today. I originally met her at a women's networking event, and reconnected with her at Camp Yes! where she wrote the most powerful and beautiful "Womanifesto" that you can read here: https://www.coachtiffanyrn.com/womanifesto.html She has been an RN for 10 years, sold skincare, and then discovered her passion for helping people after realizing women simply don't take the time to love on themselves. Tiffany got certified to coach under her nursing license and started a full blown coaching practice based solely on helping women step into radical self care as a non-negotiable practice. We talk about what self-care really means. How you can start today with the smallest of changes, and how this isn't just about feeding your body mindfully but it's about feeding your soul as well. I'm also extremely excited for you all to get an opportunity to connect more with her in her Facebook group, Deserving Women. In today's episode Tiff talks about how rich this group is and all it has to offer it's members.
