Setting Your Authentic Foundation for Recovery with Glenn Carosella

The beautiful thing about recovery is that it’s not a one-size-fits-all approach. Each individual has their own unique journey and different strategies that work for them. The key to long-term success, though, lies in embracing a variety of tools and methods, allowing you to find what resonates most and keeps you moving forward. 

In this conversation, Gust Host, Jamie Demeris and returning guest, Glenn Carosella, discuss the importance of understanding the deeper perspective behind your “why” and the inner-work it takes to find systems that work best for you. They also discuss the notion behind the biological understanding of addiction and why you have to keep doing the work to overcome the negative pathways.
