In this episode, Han and Emily speak through an array of reminders that were important to hold close when diving into a committed recovery. The key takeaways are…

• Surrendering involves consistently doing. Even in the presence of doubt.

• Doing good often doesn’t feel good.

• Your brain doesn’t have to be on board.

• Neuroscience and psychology tells us the brain is wired for familiarity and survival, not joy or fulfilment.

• Your thoughts are not the truth. They cannot force you to act.

• Hunger is normal and safe. A body relentless communication of it (including mentally!) is absolutely reasonable.

• Discomfort is temporary. The hard moments will pass. 

• Slips are not failures. Recovery is non linear.

• Embrace the fact that recovery is messy.

• Recovery is absolutely possible, and absolutely going to be worth it!
