  • I didn’t understand until I got into recovery that all of my attempts to connect with other people were in fact, me chasing them. I didn’t realize that in both my romantic relationships and friendships I was putting way more work into maintaining the relationship than they were. True connection means each person has a balanced commitment and emotional investment in the relationship, rather than one person doing everything. This week’s episode 267 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how to stop chasing and start connecting!

    Support the show by becoming a Patreon member!

    In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m sharing what it looks like when you are chasing someone vs. when you are connecting with them and actionable steps you can take right now to start focusing on the healthy, balanced relationships in your life and letting go of the ones with unbalanced effort and investment.

    Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:

    Chasing does not equal a high-quality relationship, connection does.Connection requires a balanced amount of energy & commitment to a relationship from each person.Starting to connect with people involves spending more time with the people you already have an equal connection with and stop reaching out to those you don’t. As a bonus, what a conversation with someone might look like to address an unbalanced effort.

  • Most of us have never been taught to manage our feelings, making this one of the most difficult parts of recovery. When we have been accustomed to pushing our feelings aside, we lose the ability to recognize our feelings or generate our own feelings, and therefore, never get to a place of feeling things on purpose. This week’s episode 265 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how to embrace emotional sovereignty- taking ownership of your feelings, not others’ feelings.

    Support the show by becoming a Patreon member!

    In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m sharing the importance of taking ownership of your own feelings and how not to feel responsible for the feelings of others.

    Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:

    You don’t have to wait for external triggers to feel something, you instead have the ability to generate your own feelings through your thoughts.Why those of us in recovery often avoid our own feelings and take responsibility for the feelings of others.Recognizing when you’re feeling others’ feelings vs. your own.Your own perspective determines how you feel about what others say or do, not the person’s actions themselves.

    It all starts with awareness. Awareness that you are responsible for your feelings and other people are responsible for their feelings.

  • Living with roommates can be challenging, especially when people aren’t pulling their weight with housework. For those of us with a history of people-pleasing and co-dependency, it can be even more difficult to undo the behaviors we have allowed for so long and set boundaries around our peace. On episode 263 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I help Melanie, another coaching client with the tools she needs to approach conflict resolution in her home with confidence!

    Support the show by becoming a Patreon member!

    Some of the things Melanie and I work through in this episode include:

    Visualizing a physical force field, shield, or boundary around yourself to protect your rationality when entering into difficult conversations. Being honest about your feelings while acknowledging your role in creating household dynamics is important. Your boundaries mean nothing if you are not willing to enforce them with consequences. Using the practice of bookending a difficult conversation to check in with someone and re-affirm that you’re doing what’s right for your well-being.

  • Since last week’s coaching call was so successful, I wanted to continue the podcast coaching series with another client, Erika. She joins me today hoping to find serenity through a difficult breakup while co-parenting their child and still living under the same roof. On episode 262 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I help Erika find serenity through self-care and managing her expectations!

    Support the show by becoming a Patreon member!

    Some of the things Erika and I work through in this episode include:

    Leveraging codependent tendencies by using an accountability partner to stay on track.Prioritizing self-care is crucial for emotional well-being, especially during challenging times. Using the term self-abandonment instead of self-sabotage connects your behavior to your status as an adult child and changes how you approach the solution.Overcoming unrealistic expectations often begins with unhooking your expectations after the fact.

    Testimonials from my Clients



  • One of the most important things I’ve learned to do in recovery is how to have difficult conversations. My inability and unwillingness to have difficult conversations perpetuated my codependence, leading me to suffer in situations just because I was not willing to have the conversations that would resolve them. This week on episode 254 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast I’m sharing 10 steps for how to prepare for and have difficult conversations!

    In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m sharing the tips I use when coaching clients through difficult conversations and examples of language you can use (based on real scenarios) during these conversations.

    The steps I cover in this episode include:

    Bookend your conversation by checking in with someone beforehand and afterward. Know your values and stand firm in them. Be honest about your truth. Remind yourself that you can do hard things. Ground yourself in preparation for the conversation. Practice standing in the Wonder Woman pose to build your confidence. Get permission to have the conversation, don’t blindside them. Stick to one topic only during your conversation. Put a boundary around the conversation. Start by owning your shit.

  • Traditionally, step 5 in 12-step recovery is where we admit to God, to ourselves, and to another person the exact nature of our own wrongs. The idea is that we get to take a look at the things we’ve been doing in our lives that are creating chaos, dysfunction and wreckage and acknowledge them. In the ACA version of the 12 steps, we instead inventory our family system, acknowledging that we are a product of our environment. This week’s episode 253 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about healing through step 5- unveiling family secrets and finding freedom!

    In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m sharing how looking at the nature of my abandonment as well as my own wrongs allowed me to have a different perspective on the defects (or defenses) of my character. This process helped me recognize the dysfunction I grew up with, grieve what happened to me, and let go of the shame I was carrying around it.

    Go back and listen to episodes 251 and 252 where I “spill the tea” on my family secrets to show how family dysfunction gets passed down.

    I share all of these vulnerable stories on the podcast not just so that I can heal but so that I can help others heal from their pain.

  • Through recovery, I have radically changed my ways, healed my trauma, and changed my deeply entrenched patterns of behavior. By sharing my and my family’s secrets, I hope to show that dysfunction doesn’t always look the way you might think so that you might recognize patterns of your own dysfunction and begin to heal in the ways that I have healed. This week on episode 252 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I am spillin’ more tea on my family secrets, sharing how family dysfunction gets passed down.

    If you haven’t listened to part 1, I recommend you go back and listen. You’ll get way more context on why I’m sharing these secrets. You can listen to that here.

    In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m spilling more of my family’s secrets. More specifically, I share how I came to the understanding that aiding in the secrecy of my mom’s smoking led me to hide my own smoking habits over the years.

    As I mentioned last week, I share all of this to shine light on the darkness of our past. As we say in recovery, “we are as sick as our secrets” and I want to be well.

  • We often say in recovery, “You’re as sick as your secrets.” That being said, I've decided to share my family’s secrets (as well as some of my own) as part of my journey to heal and to identify with other people so they know they’re not alone. This week on episode 251 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I am spillin’ the tea on my family secrets, sharing how family dysfunction gets passed down.
