Open your Mind

Finding the Positive

Sometimes, the hardest thing isn’t finding the right words — it’s finding the courage to sit down alone and say them. This episode is about that courage, about carving out a life of distinction over distraction, and about the daily practice of focusing on the good. It’s about choosing to notice the small victories, to journal the gratitude, and to train your mind to see what’s right — even when it feels like everything around you is screaming what’s wrong.

Forgiving Yourself, Letting Go of the Past

THIS ONE IS HARD BUT IT IS WORTH IT. In this opening episode, Chris and Shane explore one of the hardest parts of recovery: forgiving yourself. Through real-life stories and a powerful Lexus engine metaphor, they examine how shame, guilt, and incomplete healing keep us stuck—and how taking full inventory and making peace with the past opens the door to lasting change. If you’ve ever struggled to forgive the person in the mirror, this conversation will feel like a lifeline.

Shane came back!

Episode 1 of the new season is Chris and Shane at the best and worst, best because we roll the truth and smack addiction straight in the teeth, worst because even after 9 years the audio still sucks.

Open your Mind

EPISODE DESCRIPTION In this great episode, Chris and Nikki explore spirituality and get to a place of power for yourself.

Your recovery deserves this, your life deserves this. #unitedhearts
