Fragmented to Whole: Life Lessons from 12 Step Recovery

Send us a text

Before getting into recovery, I thought that I was a good communicator. While that may have been the case when it came to my work, I came to realize that interpersonally, I was actually a horrible communicator. This week’s episode 294 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how to master communication, avoid conflict, and create healthier relationships!

Some of the talking points I go over in this episode include:

• Examples of how I communicated poorly by speaking indirectly, beating around the bush, and expecting people to automatically know things or read my mind.
• How I experimented with the ways I communicated my boundaries early in my recovery from compulsive overeating and sugar addiction.
• Practical tips you can use to communicate more effectively, especially when setting boundaries.

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.
