Send us a text

I notice a lot of people questioning what “normal” looks like. But it doesn’t matter what normal is for other people. What matters is what works for YOU and what fuels your energy instead of drains it. This week’s episode 271 of the Fragmented to Whole Podcast is about how to embrace what fuels you in recovery!

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

• Prioritize the activities and people that energize you, regardless of what is “normal” for others.
• Use self-affirmations to meet your own needs and build trust in your self-approval rather than seeking approval externally.
• Focus inward through self-care to avoid codependency and self-depletion.

By simply being born, you deserve happiness, joy, fulfillment, affirmation, love, connection, and healing. You deserve to be here and you don’t have to do anything or change anything to be worthy of these things.

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.
