99. What Is the True Meaning of Happiness in Life and Recovery?01 janv. 202500:30:50

In this week’s episode of In The Circle, we’re joined by John, who poses one of humanity’s most timeless questions: What is happiness? 

In recovery, we often hear about being “happy, joyous, and free,” the ultimate state achieved through the transformative work of recovery. But what does that truly mean?

John's question invites us to explore the essence of happiness and its distinction from contentment. This conversation sets the stage for an important teaching known as the Seven Steps to Happiness. This powerful framework begins and ends in unexpected places, guiding us toward a deeper understanding of joy and fulfillment.

This teaching illuminates a pathway to happiness and a profound state of contentment, reminding us that these states are attainable through conscious choice. 

Tommy Discusses:

  • The road to happiness
  • Is happiness the same thing as contentment?
  • We’ll never find inner peace if we look to the external world
  • Meditation is the pathway to true contentment

In this week’s episode of In The Circle, we’re joined by Denise, who brings forward a universally relevant and sincere inquiry about sex addiction. She asks: Is my sexual desire healthy or addictive?

At 42 years old, Denise shares candidly about being at a peak in her desire, openly questioning whether this is healthy or normal. Her vulnerability opens the door to a powerful conversation about the sexual aspect of the human experience—a topic that is often uncomfortable for many to explore.

96. How Can I Make Peace with ‘Good Enough’ vs. Perfectionism?11 déc. 202400:34:44

In this week’s episode of In The Circle, we’re exploring the powerful topic of perfectionism. We’re joined by Kevin, who brings a thought-provoking question to the circle: How can I make peace with ‘good enough’ versus perfectionism?

Perfectionism, often rooted in disconnection and insecurity, can lead to a life of stress and unfulfilled expectations.

This episode examines the fine line between striving for our best and losing balance. How does perfectionism fuel procrastination? And how can we show up fully in life without constantly pressuring ourselves to do more or be better? These are vital questions that many of us face in recovery and life.

Join us as we unpack the role of perfectionism, its impact on our well-being, and how to find freedom from its grip. There’s so much to learn about letting go of unattainable standards and embracing the beauty of “good enough.”

Tommy Discusses:

  • When is ‘good enough’, good enough?
  • Does perfectionism lead to procrastination?
  • Breaking the perfectionism trance
  • Setting intentions for the best possible outcome

93. How Can I Embrace The Present Moment and Trust My Journey As It Unfolds?19 nov. 202400:38:13

In this week’s episode of In The Circle, we are joined by Raiza who brings us a profound inquiry: How Can I Embrace The Present Moment and Trust My Journey As It Unfolds?

Raiza shares that she started her spiritual journey later in life, while many teachers she admires began their paths and awakenings early on. This has left her feeling 'behind,' as though she should be further along her journey.

This question resonates deeply with us as we navigate time—perceiving it as past, present, and future—while knowing that true peace lies in the eternal now.

How do we embrace where we are today without judgment? How can we stay present and make empowered choices without being burdened by the feeling of falling behind?

In this episode, we explore how to find presence, that transformative superpower where joy, healing, love, and life reside. 

This conversation is a reminder that being present in the now is the key to experiencing the fullness of our lives.

Tommy Discusses:

  • Letting go of attachment and resentment 
  • How to be fully in the present 
  • Why being present is the key to getting the most out of life
  • Break the cycle of comparison

90. How Can I Move Beyond Addictive Patterns with Food?29 oct. 202400:31:11

In this week’s episode of In The Circle, I’m thrilled to dive into an incredibly meaningful topic that impacts each of us — our relationship with food. Alyssa joins us with an inquiry about something fundamental to the human experience - How Can I Move Beyond Addictive Patterns with Food? 

Food has a powerful impact on how we feel, think, and interact in the world. It affects our energy, our mood, and even the way we show up in relationships. 

For those of us on the recovery path, it can be difficult to fully surrender to the principle that every compulsive bite blocks our connection to spirit. It’s such a powerful question because, in one way or another, it touches us all.

Together, we’re going to examine what it means to truly honor our bodies and spirits through our relationship with food — an exploration I believe is at the heart of recovery and personal growth.

Tommy Discusses:

  • Strategies to change your relationship with food
  • The 12-hour food window
  • Why moving our bodies is so important 
  • How emotions affect our eating habits and patterns

88. How Can I Break Free From Negative Thinking?15 oct. 202400:34:48

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, we welcome Stuart, who is celebrating one year of sobriety from long-term cannabis use. Stuart's success stands as a beacon of hope for those struggling to let go of cannabis, showing that recovery and thriving are possible.

In this episode, he asks a question many of us can relate to: how can I break free from negative thinking patterns? 

How can we shift from negative thinking to a more realistic and positive outlook? The recovery journey can sometimes feel overwhelming, and it is not uncommon to occasionally feel stuck in old thinking and behavior patterns.

By cultivating self-awareness and challenging those limiting beliefs, we can gradually move from a mindset of negativity to one that embraces possibility. 

It takes effort and intention, but every step forward opens the door to new perspectives and greater mental clarity. 

There's always a way to break free from the cycle of negativity, and with the right tools and support, you can reshape your mindset toward a more empowering and realistic outlook.

Tommy Discusses:

  • How to let go of your negative thoughts
  • Why self-awareness can feel overwhelming in early recovery
  • Shifting your thought process in real-time
  • Why missteps along the way are actually opportunities

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, we’re diving into another powerful inquiry from someone who traveled with me to one of our Recovery 2.0 retreats in England. Today’s guest, Perry, asks: How can I push through my resistance to change? 

During our England retreat, we discussed something I call resistance training. When I mention resistance training, I’m talking about engaging in activities that naturally bring up our own resistance. I’m referring to – the voice that says, "I’ll do it tomorrow." 

The practice of resistance training is about purposefully doing those things that challenge us, allowing us to break through that resistance and emerge stronger.

In Recovery 2.0, we emphasize this training to help us become our best selves. Perry also asks me about the practices I personally use to overcome my resistance and show up fully in life. 

Through this episode, we'll explore the mind, body, and spirit, and discuss ways we can all set up the conditions to blow through our resistance to the things we know are good for us. This, I believe, is key to finding daily fulfillment and moving forward on what I call the path of discovery. 

Tommy Discusses:

  • How I overcome resistance to change in my life
  • The powerful tool of accountability 
  • Building awareness around your own resistance 
  • How you can push past limitations and get out of your own way

85. What Does Conscious Recovery Look Like As We Grow Older?24 sept. 202400:32:56

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, we are truly blessed to have Linda, an elder, joining us. When I say "elder," I'm referring not just to age, but to the wisdom and humility gained over time. Linda brings us such a powerful inquiry when she asks: What does conscious recovery look like as we grow older? 

This deeply humbles me. It's a profound inquiry from someone with so much life experience in recovery, reminding us all that the journey continues no matter where we are.

As we age and approach the last chapter of our lives, there can be uncertainty and frustration about how we can maximize the time we have left.

In this episode, we explore what it means to be an elder, to age with dignity and power, and to find fulfillment every single day. This conversation is vital for anyone who wants to grow old consciously and live with purpose.

Tommy Discusses:

  • The power of living in the energy of gratitude
  • Dealing with regret in longer-term recovery
  • Finding grace at every age
  • What does it mean to age with dignity and consciousness?

84. How Can I Maintain Healthy Boundaries While Being of Service in Recovery?17 sept. 202400:37:27

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, we’re joined by Mariana, who brings us an impactful inquiry: How Can I Maintain Healthy Boundaries While Being of Service in Recovery?

We often read in spiritual scriptures that we are meant to give without expectation. Yet, as humans in relationships, we recognize that boundaries are essential, especially in recovery. 

Spiritual and religious teachings often compare service to an express train for personal and spiritual growth. While giving and serving are fundamental aspects of recovery, it’s important to understand that setting healthy boundaries not only prevents burnout but also allows us to continue giving sustainably.

I often say that ‘service is where the action is’, but what does it truly mean to be of service? How can we differentiate between serving authentically and serving in a codependent way? 

In this episode, we’ll dive deep into what it means to be of service and explore how to help others without giving too much of yourself away. 

Tommy Discusses:

  • Being of service in the present moment
  • Giving from a place of wholeness and authenticity without losing yourself
  • Creating healthy boundaries 
  • What it truly means to be of service
  • Helping others while letting go of the outcome

83. Take Back Your Mind: The Science of Inner Transformation with Reverend Michael Beckwith, PhD.10 sept. 202400:55:00

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, I am honored to connect with Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith, founder and CEO of Agape International Spiritual Center, a renowned trans-denominational community in Los Angeles. 

With thousands of local members and global live streamers, Agape is celebrated for its cultural, racial, and spiritual inclusivity. The late Coretta Scott King once praised Dr. Beckwith, saying, "I greatly admire what you are doing to bring about the beloved community," echoing the legacy of her late husband, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Dr. Beckwith is widely known for his teachings on inner transformation and unity, offering a practical approach to spirituality through meditation, affirmative prayer, and his Life Visioning process. This spiritual technology empowers individuals to evolve, live authentically, and fulfill their purpose consciously. 

His teachings help integrate inner peace and awakened awareness into everyday life, making him a sought-after meditation teacher, conference speaker, and seminar leader, having addressed audiences at the UN General Assembly, TEDx Maui, and Oprah Winfrey's Super Soul Sunday.

Tommy Discusses:

  • Why we succumb to addiction
  • How to live fully beyond addiction
  • The subtle layers of addiction recovery

82. How Can I Regulate My Emotions Quickly When I’m Triggered By My Own Thinking?03 sept. 202400:37:13

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, we are joined by Rosie, who brings a relevant and powerful inquiry for our consideration:  How can I quickly regulate my emotions and ground myself, so I don't get lost in the story my mind creates?

This is a deeply relevant inquiry—who hasn’t found themselves trapped by the narratives they carry in their mind? It’s all too common to become our own biggest triggers, getting swept away by our thoughts and emotions.

Recovery, however, is more than abstinence. It’s about moving beyond the limiting stories that keep us stuck and discovering new ways of thinking that empower us. It’s the process of letting go of old, unhelpful stories and embracing ones that enhance our connection to truth, power, love, and life itself.

By rewriting our stories, we can open the door to deeper healing and a more authentic, fulfilling existence.

Tommy Discusses:

  • How to disrupt negative emotions
  • How to reframe the narratives that keep you stuck
  • Your thoughts hold no power over you
  • How the mind and breath are connected
  • You are not your thoughts and emotions

81. What Steps Can Parents Take to Support Their Grown Child in Addiction Recovery?27 août 202400:26:23

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, we’re joined by Elaine, who draws our attention to one of the most challenging scenarios in all of addiction: What steps can parents take to support their grown child in addiction recovery?

How do I remain silent when my child continues to make bad choices?  I don't want to enable them. I don't know how to support them. What can I do? This inquiry will bring up important questions about how to position oneself to be of maximum use to a person who is struggling with active addiction.

This is one of those inquiries that will resound across the recovery community globally. I don't know of a family that hasn't been touched by addiction. This is an extremely relevant and important inquiry as we seek to be better, more skillful, and loving when supporting other people who might be struggling with active addiction.

Tommy Discusses:

  • It’s not your job to fix your child's addiction
  • How to support someone in recovery
  • Live your life without suffering
  • The complexity of addiction
  • The Limits of Parental Influence
  • Letting go with love

80. What is the Difference Between Being Introverted and Isolating?20 août 202400:30:41

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, we have Kathy bringing a very unique yet relevant inquiry that requires a bit of unpacking. Kathy inquires: what is the difference between being an introvert and isolating? 

Kathy wrote to us and said, “I usually hear that human beings are hardwired for connection and that we are social creatures. I do not believe it to be true for every human being - it isn’t true for me.” 

As we go down the path of this inquiry, we'll learn that Kathy has been introverted most of her life and that her family was not necessarily comfortable with that. 

We explore what it means to find solitude, the importance of cultivating a relationship with oneself, and how that relationship compares in importance and in necessity with the relationships with those around us.

This inquiry brings up a lot of questions about the difference between being an introvert and self-isolation. 

Tommy Discusses:

  • Is aloneness a bad thing?
  • The disease of the lost self
  • Consciousness is contagious
  • Are our cell phones keeping us from healing?
  • The antidote to loneliness

79. The Biology of Recovery: From Victim to Self-Mastery with Bruce Lipton, Ph.D.13 août 202401:05:17

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, I’m incredibly excited to share my interview with Bruce Lipton, Ph.D.

Bruce is an internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. He was on the faculty of the University of Wisconsin's School of Medicine, and later performed groundbreaking stem cell research at Stanford University. You may have read about that in his best-selling book, The Biology of Belief. 

In 2009, Bruce received the prestigious Goy East Award in Japan in honor of his scientific contribution to world harmony.

This is a life-changing interview on how we can let go of addiction and upgrade our subconscious programming.

Tommy and Bruce Discuss

  • Living in a constant state of threat
  • Conscious vs subconscious
  • How to upgrade your programming
  • The root cause of addiction
  • Why creating new habits will change your life

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, we are joined by Donna, who asks such a brave, honest, and raw question: Is It Possible To Fully Heal From Sexual Trauma?

Can the trauma of childhood sexual abuse be overcome? The unfortunate reality is that sexual and physical abuse are very present in our world. Donna’s inquiry gives us an opportunity to explore healing from these deep, formative wounds.

I believe that healing is always possible. It requires a combination of ingredients, a certain alchemy, and a willingness to sow the seeds of forgiveness and compassion for oneself and others.  Frankly, it is incredibly difficult, but absolutely attainable, especially for someone who asks a question such as this.

Tommy discusses

  • Letting go of trauma and abuse
  • Are unconscious beliefs holding you back from healing?
  • Does time heal all wounds?
  • Can we change for the better?
  • Embracing and accepting your wounds

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, we are joined by Elizabeth, who brings an incredibly powerful inquiry: How Can I Remain Spiritual During Troubling Times?

So many people I speak with are feeling lost, sad, depressed, or despairing in the face of the world's difficulties. Of course, it doesn’t help that we are attached to devices that inform us endlessly of other people's challenges.

This inquiry gives us a moment to explore the Serenity Prayer: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” 

Through this, we can develop a strategy for managing the myriad of challenges that the people of the world are facing.

Tommy discusses

  • The danger of the news
  • Accept the things you cannot change
  • We are all spiritual beings
  • There is more light than darkness in the world

76. Could I Be Addicted to Procrastination?23 juil. 202400:44:04

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, Galen brings to light the addictive nature of procrastination.

When we actively avoid things we need to do - and even things we may want to do - it erodes our confidence. We may even take other actions that cause us harm.  

I look at procrastination as one of the four aggravations: Negative thinking, self-doubt, procrastination, and resentment. These are all patterns of belief and behavior that get in the way of a person's happiness. So, while nobody ‘craves’ these four aggravations, they do fit my definition of addiction: Any behavior someone continues to do despite it bringing negative consequences into their life.

This brings the concept of addiction to everyone's doorstep. Most of us have experienced any or all of these four aggravations at some point… so why do we continue to do these things when they are getting in the way of our progress and desires?

Any pattern of behavior that stops us from living the life we want to live should be addressed. So let’s dive into the roots of procrastination and discuss ways to break free of this habit for good.

Tommy discusses

  • The 4 Aggravations: Negative thinking, self-doubt, procrastination, and resentment
  • How to overcome procrastination
  • The impact that one small step can make
  • Why you don’t need labels
  • Everyone's recovery journey is different

75. How Will My Recovery Journey Impact My Children?16 juil. 202400:31:46

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, we are joined by Tracy, who inquires: Will my recovery journey positively impact my children? This is such a powerful inquiry that I know will have relevance for us all.

Part of this exploration will lead us to understand that there is no such thing as a perfect parent. There is no such thing as parenting without doing some harm. We all have negative ingrained behaviors we see in ourselves that inevitably get passed to our children. 

Many of us struggle with the idea that we've done something unconsciously or consciously, which will affect the outcome of our children's life in some negative way.

This is an inquiry about our healing journey as individuals and how we can relieve ourselves of guilt, process through shame, and come out to a much better place. This is relevant for everyone whether you have children or not

Tommy discusses

  • The misconceptions about sobriety
  • What is the root cause of addiction?
  • Embrace self-love and forgiveness
  • Personal growth is the greatest gift you can give
  • Parenting is an imperfect practice

74. Am I addicted to sugar?09 juil. 202400:24:39

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, Nicole is here with us bringing an inquiry about what I call the real gateway drug. Of course, I'm speaking about sugar. Nicole asks: Am I addicted to sugar? Should I abstain completely or is there a place of moderation?

Now, I believe that addressing one's relationship with food and sugar in particular is a central part of recovery for everyone. In Nicole's case, she let go of alcohol several years ago and wants to take her recovery journey to the next level by addressing her relationship with food. 

I've seen countless people stuck in the frequency of addiction because they stay in old addictive patterns when it comes to food. This is one of the most important inquiries when it comes to true recovery as we need to be present in our minds and bodies to address the underlying reasons for our food cravings. 

Tommy discusses

  • Changing your relationship with food
  • What is the root cause of your cravings?
  • Does our microbiome affect the foods we crave?
  • Learning to be conscious with our food choices
  • Why the food we eat can make a huge impact on recovery

73. When Will I Be Ready To Experience True Freedom From Addiction?02 juil. 202400:30:08

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, we have Bob here with us at 20 years sober. Bob is asking a profound question related to the 12 step path: How would you describe the process of becoming entirely ready?

Now, for those who are not familiar with step six, it reads: we were entirely ready to have God remove these defects of character.  This brings up a lot of questions and some confusion about what God is doing and how God does it exactly. We need to explore this and ask ourselves: what do we need to do to truly advance ourselves along a spiritual path?

How can we awaken out of addiction and experience true freedom? What is the path? What does God have to do with it? What do we have to do with it? 

Tommy discusses

  • The role of “God” or “Spirit” in Recovery
  • How Spirit works through us, not for us
  • How the 12 steps and yoga are related
  • Breaking the frequency of addiction with self-forgiveness

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, Brian asks an incredibly profound question: Can a person change their personality? He goes on to explain that the origin of his inquiry is due to his use of sarcasm and how he does not want to speak in that same tone with that same sharpness, especially to those he loves.

As someone who grew up in New York City, I'm well-trained in sarcasm, and this inquiry hit home for me. 

This naturally leads us to a powerful discussion about the nature of personality and whether we can change our deeply ingrained patterns, or if we are set in our ways forever.

Tommy discusses

  • Can you change your personality?
  • The power of your words
  • How to change your mind with morning practice
  • The origins of sarcasm and upgrading your language

71. As Within, So Without: The Microbiome & Recovery with Zach Bush, MD18 juin 202401:09:03

This week, I am very excited to share a podcast that breaks tradition with our normal format.  

Normally, I answer questions from people in recovery all over the world. This episode features an interview I conducted with Zach Bush, MD., from the recent Life Beyond Addiction Conference. 

Zach is a renowned, multi-disciplinary physician of internal medicine, endocrinology, and hospice care, as well as an internationally recognized educator on the microbiome as it relates to human health, soil health, food systems, and a regenerative future. 

This interview was among the most watched during the Life Beyond Addiction Conference. 

Zach shares profound wisdom about the power of nature, the interconnectedness of all things, and the way beyond all addiction. There are no words to fully describe the depth of this conversation. 

You just have to listen for yourself as we cover a lot of territory.

In this episode of In the Circle, we dive into a compelling discussion with Patrick, a dedicated individual in long-term recovery, who inquires: Should Purpose Guide Your Path When Helping Others?

Patrick is at a crossroads in his service journey as he questions whether to pursue a conventional counseling career or continue his grassroots efforts of directly assisting people on the streets of San Francisco. Our discussion opens up a broader exploration of what it means to follow one's "Dharma," or true purpose, in the realm of service and recovery.

This is a powerful reminder that true service comes from the heart, driven by a genuine desire to help others and make a difference.

69. How Can I Let Go Of Relationships That No Longer Serve Me?04 juin 202400:25:28

In this episode of In the Circle, Today, we'll hear an inquiry from Carla, who asks an important question regarding friendship and letting go: How do I release the ties of a long-term friendship that has become codependent? How can I let go of relationships that no longer serve me?

This inquiry takes us into this realm of relationships, reminding us that friendships, connections, business partnerships, and romantic relationships all have the potential to become codependent if we try to control or place someone else's needs inappropriately before our own.

As we delve into this topic, we're looking at shifting from blame and complaint to a place of self-reflection and growth. It's important to remember, you always have a choice, letting go of a friendship that no longer serves our well-being can be an act of self-care and liberation for all involved parties. 

Tommy discusses

  • The difference between codependency and interdependency

  • What is true forgiveness?

  • You have a choice

  • The importance of trusting your gut 

  • Outgrowing people on the Path of Recovery

In this episode of In the Circle, we are joined by Jamie who inquires: How can I finally be free from the frequency of addiction?  Jamie expresses that he has just celebrated five years of recovery, yet he feels that recovery should be easier by now.

What will finally set us free? How can we truly surrender and let go of the frequency of addiction? There isn't just one path to freedom; it varies for everyone. The steps and yoga are practices to help us live more skillfully and truthfully.

67. How Can I Break Away From Victimhood?21 mai 202400:30:50

In this episode of In the Circle, we’re joined by Sam, who brings our attention to an addiction that we don't often consider, the addiction to the struggle itself. Sam inquires: How Can I Break Away From Victimhood? 

Most of us can look back and, if we’re self-conscious human beings, notice some patterns repeating themselves, holding us back. The most common being self-sabotage.

This brings up a powerful psychological and spiritual discussion about how we can move out of victimhood. How can we overcome our resistance to the next level? What do we need to do to move into empowerment and personal mastery? 

Well, it just so happens that the ancient yogis had an answer to this. The sages had an answer to this, the seers, the seekers had an answer to this, and they wrote it down in some powerful scriptures, and we're going to learn from those lessons today about how to move from victimhood to mastery.

Tommy discusses

  • How to move out of victimhood to mastery
  • Falling in love with yourself
  • Why we are our own worst enemies
  • The Gift of Morning Practice (Sadhana)
  • The true path of discovery in recovery

65. How Can I Navigate Relapse Without Fear Or Shame?07 mai 202400:36:25

In this episode of In the Circle, we’re joined by Dorcus, who brings us an incredibly vital inquiry: How Can I Navigate Relapse Without Fear Or Shame? This normal and stigmatized phenomenon is part of most individuals' recovery journeys.

We explore the traditional 12-step method that requires starting over on day one post-relapse. While this method emphasizes the importance of recognizing milestones in recovery, it can also lead to feelings of shame and guilt, which may prevent people from re-engaging with the support they need.

This conversation is crucial for anyone looking to navigate the ups and downs of recovery and to reach a higher consciousness or awakening through their journey.

Tommy discusses

  • Am I broken if I relapse?
  • Why you need a community and support system
  • Recovery is an evolutionary path
  • The protocol to follow after a relapse
  • How yoga and breathwork can help you on your path of discovery

64. How Can I Learn To Forgive Myself?30 avr. 202400:37:20

In this episode of In the Circle, we're honored to have Mark join us from Northern England, bringing a profound topic that touches the core of many recovery journeys: self-forgiveness and building genuine self-confidence. Mark inquires: How can I learn to forgive myself and be confident in my self-worth?

For those of us in recovery, particularly during the early stages, the act of forgiving ourselves can seem monumental. This inability to forgive often leaves us trapped in a cycle of persistent low self-esteem. Understanding and resolving these feelings is a crucial step on the path to recovery.

It's an essential conversation for anyone struggling with guilt or shame and for those seeking insight into their journey towards healing. 

Tommy discusses

  • How can I forgive myself?
  • Finding connection and love within yourself
  • “Borrowing” confidence from those who love you
  • The frequency of gambling addiction

This critical topic is an often overlooked aspect of recovery,  whether it's managing debt, curbing excessive shopping, or addressing gambling habits, financial sobriety speaks to our core relationship with money and the energy it represents.

This conversation is essential for anyone on the path of recovery who seeks to understand the broader implications of their financial habits and how to approach them with a healthier mindset.

In this episode of In the Circle, I’m so delighted to field an inquiry from Megan. She asks: How can I manage my newfound energy and excitement after getting sober from cannabis?

So many people don't understand the nuances of what cannabis does, and how it affects our emotional state and our brain nor do they understand the nuances of recovering from cannabis and the kinds of things that one will experience on their path of recovery from that particular substance.

Megan is experiencing a burst of energy now that she is on the path of recovery. We're going to get into an exploration of recovery from cannabis addiction and how to manage an awakening of energy that comes from detoxing from substances.

In this episode of In the Circle, we’re joined by Reno who brings us an extremely thought-provoking question. He inquires: How is Modern Technology Affecting People In Recovery?

Modern technology and social media, while useful and integrated into our daily lives, can distract us from what truly matters - being present, being conscious, and accessing your higher self.

There's a growing need for us to navigate these spaces more consciously, striving for real connection over digital interaction. It's about finding balance and ensuring that our digital habits don't detract from real-world experiences and relationships.

Tommy discusses

  • Is technology destroying our concentration?
  • Are we addicted to our cell phones?
  • How social media fuels division
  • Why we need to connect more in person
  • The need to be in the world, but not of it

In this episode of In the Circle, we are joined by Stephanie with a profound inquiry regarding the loss of her husband to addiction: How do I answer when people ask me how my husband died? How can I talk about the loss of a loved one to addiction?

When we speak to people who have not been affected by addiction, they are often uncertain how to respond, and because of that, we are met with misperception and judgment. Yet there is so much more than meets the eye. 

This is an episode we can all greatly benefit from and I am so grateful to Stephanie for posing this vulnerable and honest question. 

Tommy discusses


  • Being mindful of your exhale
  • Why we all experience some form of addiction

59. What Am I Risking By Not Facing My Trauma And Pain?26 mars 202400:37:41

In this episode of In the Circle, we’re joined by Ron who brings a courageous and important inquiry to our community: What am I risking by not facing my trauma and pain?

Having lost his son due to a skiing accident eight years ago, Ron has firsthand experience navigating through intense grief and loss. I think we are all intuitively aware that something negative will occur if we do not face the emotional challenges of our lives. Yet we rarely ask ourselves, what exactly am I giving up if I don't face it?

On the surface, this will seem like a tragic story, but something quite extraordinary has taken place. I want to share my gratitude for this inquiry and for bringing such a delicate and important matter to the table.

Tommy discusses

  • Why we need to face our grief head-on
  • A better way of dealing with grief and loss
  • The link between spirituality and longevity
  • Can we continue thriving after losing a loved one?
  • How can we make better choices with our pain?

In this episode of In the Circle, I am joined by John who brings an inquiry that is so relevant to every human being: How Can I Get High in Recovery? How can we replace substance-induced highs with exhilarating experiences like outdoor adventures and meaningful activities?

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of recognizing contentment, and not excitement or relief, as a foundational state in recovery. While seeking thrills is natural, these should not become new dependencies but rather moments that enhance the quality of sober life. 

This episode serves as a reminder that genuine happiness and fulfillment come from within and are attainable in recovery through sustainable, healthy practices.

Tommy discusses

  • When will we learn that enough is enough?
  • Is there a natural way to get high?
  • How to let go of your addictive impulses

In this episode of In the Circle, Eric joins us with a powerful inquiry about overcoming codependency, all the while shedding light on the complexity of process addictions.

Process addictions, such as codependency and food addiction, are distinctive because they involve fundamental aspects of life that we can't live without.

We also explore what it means to inspire recovery and hope in those who feel forgotten by society, and possible solutions we can offer. 

This episode is a candid look into the intersection of addiction with societal failings, reminding us that not everybody has someone to turn to in their time of need. Be someone’s angel today and reach out to those in the grip of severe addiction.

Tommy discusses

  • How you can offer support to someone going through addiction 
  • Whether or not medication-assisted treatment is useful
  • How we can care better for those battling trauma and addiction
  • How to reconnect with love 
  • Why yoga, meditation, and breathwork can change your life

52. How Do I Get Sober?06 févr. 202400:53:50

In this episode of In the Circle, we take a look at an inquiry I get asked the most: How Do I Get Sober? What does sobriety truly entail?

By asking this question, we are looking for a way to evolve into a better version of ourselves– to let go of the old and embrace the new. In order to move towards a life filled with more love, connection, and fulfillment, we need to be honest, vulnerable, and open to change.

We need to remember that momentum comes slowly and develop a one-day-at-a-time concept of life. All we have to do is stay sober today. If you're reading this, the time has come for you to make the change that you know you must make.

Tommy discusses

  • The step-by-step process to getting sober
  • Why there is strength in vulnerability 
  • Why you should never hesitate to phone a friend!
  • The one-day-at-a-time approach to addiction recovery
  • The power of a daily recovery routine
