“Shadow work.” One of the things that makes the 12 Step program so effective is the fact that it’s all shadow work. In other words, each of the steps does a good job of making us turn around and keep the focus on ourselves rather focusing on what’s wrong with everybody else. (The song is “Open Your Eyes (What’s Goin On)” from my recovery musical The Journey https://youtu.be/MEMt-0IDKnY?si=czFIO-kF6UUZFC25)

In the Native American tradition Coyote is the Trickster. There are many valuable—and sometimes tricky—lessons to be had from working with “Coyote medicine.” Some of the seemingly “worst thing that could have happened to me” often turn out to be the best thing That could’ve ever happened. (like “having” to get sober)It’s all in how we look at it and being able to recognize all of our experiences as opportunities to learn something about ourselves.
What do you do to enhance your creativity?
The Recovery Wheel had been the basis of all my work in addiction treatment for over thirty years. It had helped thousands of clients—not just get “dry”—but achieve the kind of recovery that makes them feel good about themselves and inspired to continue growing. I’ve FINALLY made this available to more people than just my own clients by putting this material into an awesome new mini-course, which includes: • 2 hours of videos, • 40 page eBook, • audiobook version of the eBook.

Struggling with sobriety? It’s understandable that a lot of folks who are getting “strongly encourage” to get sober arent happy about it. You’re giving up something that makes you feel really good, not to mention all the fun that goes along with it. But as the title of my new book says, it doesn’t have to suck. As a matter of fact, it can actually turn out to be an awesome experience.

A talk I did last week called Follow Your Bliss: Finding Your Purpose In Life. I rolled out a fairytale that provided a pretty interesting metaphor for listening to our heart, finding our calling, and sticking with it to follow our vision.

So I did this today. I gave a talk called “Follow Your Bliss: Finding Your Purpose In Life”. Drawing on Joseph Campbell’s work with the Hero’s Journey, I put on my storytelling hat and rolled out a fairytale to use as a metaphor for finding our calling and following a vision.
