A Few Thoughts About...Humor

We can be SO SERIOUS about this process of quitting drinking. And while the situation we find ourselves in may indeed be serious - or we could at the least be on the road towards some serious situations - making the process heavy and intense the whole time is not the answer. What if we could make progress WITHOUT the serious heaviness? What if injecting humor could actually HELP us get where we want to go?

A Few Thoughts About...Roadblocks

Sometimes roadblocks are the reasons we don’t move forward with something. They can serve as reason (or even sometimes excuses) of why we aren’t getting where we want to be. I like to flip this around - instead of roadblocks being in your way, they are showing you the way. I explain in the episode! LINKS I have a new version of Shift coming! Shift is my flagship program and the way I see things has evolved. So I’m going to be recording an all new version of the program, and I’d love you to join me!
