#41 DO WE EVER REALLY "ARRIVE"?

Welcome back to The Fully Known Podcast. In today's thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into a pervasive and often unspoken notion that permeates our society—the myth of "If this, then that." It's a mentality that promises that if we can just accomplish that one elusive goal, make a certain amount of money, or achieve a specific level of sobriety, then our lives will become perfect and complete.

But do we ever truly "arrive"? Is there really a finish line to this relentless pursuit of goals and achievements, especially when it comes to addiction recovery and healing from betrayal trauma?

Join Austin and Hannah, as they dissect the illusion of "making it" in the context of addiction recovery and the profound impact of betrayal trauma on the journey to self-discovery.

In this emotionally charged episode, we explore:

  • The psychology behind the "If this, then that" mentality, especially for those in addiction recovery.
  • How betrayal trauma can profoundly affect our sense of self and our pursuit of happiness.
  • The importance of setting meaningful goals and intentions in the context of sobriety and recovery.
  • Strategies for maintaining a balanced perspective on success and healing, even when faced with setbacks and relapses.

Whether you're on a quest for personal growth, seeking clarity in your life's purpose, or trying to find your way through the challenges of recovery, this episode will challenge your beliefs and inspire you to reevaluate your own journey.

Tune in to "The Fully Known Podcast" and join the conversation. It's time to explore the idea that perhaps, the beauty of life lies in the continuous pursuit of self-discovery, healing, and sobriety, rather than an elusive destination.
