Addicted to Chaos: How Rumination and Catastrophizing Hijack Your Peace (and How to Stop) | Episode 283
Fragmented to Whole: Life Lessons from 12 Step Recovery
09/23/24 • 18 min
I recently came across the phrase, “Stop extending the life of your problems.” This resonated with me because before I got into recovery, I hadn’t realized I was massively extending the life of my problems for DECADES on end by ruminating on the past and catastrophizing about the future. This, I have come to realize, is a very common trait for those of us in ACA (Adult Children of Alcoholics and Dysfunctional Families). This week’s episode 283 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how rumination and catastrophizing hijack your peace (and how to stop)!
If you feel like you don’t know how to be in your life, be in your feelings, feel situated within yourself or how to be in relationships or organizations, it’s probably because you’re more focused on others than you are yourself. If this is you, you are a perfect candidate for Boundaries by Design: A Blueprint for Life, an 8-week structured course for women.
This group coaching program will give you the framework, coaching, and guidance to create a manual for your life. You’ll know where you end and others begin, what your responsibility is and what’s not, and what you like, want, need, and prefer.
Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:
- How recovery helped me come to the realization that I was replaying moments from the past and living in the wreckage of the future.
- Why adult children become “addicted to excitement” and, as a result, do things to activate our nervous system.
- The 3-step solution for how to stop ruminating and catastrophizing and live in the present moment.
Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.

It’s no secret that boundaries are the key to reclaiming your power, honoring your needs, and living life on your terms.

In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m sharing a series of examples of ways either myself, my listeners, or my clients have put the fundamentals of boundary setting into action in their lives so you can feel inspired to do the same in your life.

Discovery Is Not Recovery | Episode 14

07/21/19 • 14 min
In this episode the differences between discovery and recovery are laid out, as are the differences between relief and recovery. Many people come into the rooms of 12 step recovery and "discover" what is wrong with them, thinking that is enough. Others come into the rooms and find some measure of relief and leave thinking they're done. Neither of these result in the deep, lasting changes that are the promise of 12 step recovery. Listen here to learn the distinctions.

How to Untie the Bundle of Negativity and Self-judgment So You Can Have Peace and Ease | Episode 118
Fragmented to Whole: Life Lessons from 12 Step Recovery
07/26/21 • 14 min
If you're sick and tired of the endless string of negative thoughts and self-judgment in your head, that can end! I'm living proof! It starts with awareness - awareness of what you're saying to yourself. You then need to analyze what those messages are and what they're doing to do you. They're crippling you, AND they're not making you into a better person. So stop! Stop that shit! Once you stop the negativity, you'll stop judging yourself. Ironically, that will lead to stopping your judgments of others as well. As your self-judgment diminishes, you'll feel more at ease and at peace in your life.

How to Understand the Relationship Between Honesty and Trust | Episode 95
Fragmented to Whole: Life Lessons from 12 Step Recovery
02/15/21 • 8 min
If you're anything like I was before recovery, you were (or maybe still are) unable to be honest much of time. Some of that dishonesty has to do with not trusting others. If you grew up in a chaotic or unsafe environment, that makes sense. Lying was self protective. However, now that we're adults and can choose who we surround ourselves with, it's easier to be around safe and caring others.
The thing that's news to me is that honesty requires trusting *myself* too! It's not just about trusting other people. Now that I can trust myself to take care of myself, to set boundaries and enforce them, I don't feel the need to lie like I used to. That includes trusting myself not to put myself in harm's way and to now surround myself with safe, caring and respectful others.

What Most People Don't Know About Physical Addiction vs Process Addiction | Episode 165
Fragmented to Whole: Life Lessons from 12 Step Recovery
06/20/22 • 17 min
I was listening to another recovery podcast the other day and this other person was talking about how they had no idea where to find resources. It occurred to me that it would be beneficial to discuss the 12 step recovery process for those of you who aren’t familiar with it so you can see if it’s right for you or not. I really didn’t “get” addiction until I was in my second recovery program. This week’s episode 165 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about understanding the difference between a physical addiction and a process addiction!
Support the show by becoming a Patreon member!
In this episode of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast, I’m sharing the importance of understanding the two-fold nature of the addiction illness and actionable steps you can take right now to better understand if a 12 step recovery program is for you.
Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:
- What physical addiction is and is not, and examples of what this looks like.
- What process addiction looks like, and the biggest differences between physical and process addictions.
- The ways in which addiction is different from abusing a substance or process, and how it includes an allergic reaction to the substance.
- Why people who are actively in their addiction avoid healthy people while dating, because they find them boring.
We find healthy calmness in recovery, and it can take time to get used to that peacefulness. Be sure to tune in to all the episodes to receive tons of practical tips on living a more whole life and to hear even more about the points outlined above.
