Rooted in Strength: Recovery, Cravings, and Compassion

After a whirlwind of travels, Sunshine and Dan return to the mic with a powerful and vulnerable conversation inspired by the Strength card pulled during their latest recovery circle. Together, they unpack what true strength means in recovery—not just willpower, but the tender kind rooted in self-compassion, patience, and presence.

This episode dives deep into:

  • The difference between craving and desire
  • Food addiction, sugar spirals, and the challenges of recovery from what we can’t abstain from
  • The connection between emotional strength, physical resilience, and self-confidence
  • What it really means to experience awe, wonderment, and a renewed “lust for life” after addiction
  • Signs it's time to surrender—and how to know when you're holding on too tight

This one’s full of hard truths, gentle laughs, and grounded hope. Whether you're walking through recovery from substances, food, codependency, or perfectionism, Sunshine and Dan remind us all: strength is about staying aligned with your soul’s mission, not muscling your way through the pain.

✨ Remember:

You are stronger than you know. You don’t have to white-knuckle it alone.
