Stephen: Fatherhood, Messing Up, & Living in Extremes
#27: After many years in recovery, Stephen's partner asked, "are you suffering?" and the answer was yes; a constant feeling of not being enough was taking its toll. Today we talk about lies the mind can tell us, and the work that happens in active recovery to see that our thoughts aren't always truth.
In this vulnerable conversation, Stephen opens up about lessons he's learning in recovery, and in fatherhood. We discuss:
- The gift of sobriety in parenthood, and the beauty in making mistakes,
- How extreme physical challenge of endurance sports can allow a busy mind to be present,
- Having a partner in recovery, and prioritizing recovery over everything else.
Stephen shares his own experiences with the thoughts we're all so often thinking: That we're not enough. That we're going to get it all wrong. And without claiming to have any of the answers, he drops gem after gem of personal discovery that might be the very words you need to hear today.
