What We Really Want: Conversations About Connection

FOLLOW/SUBSCRIBE to download new episodes as they release!

If it's true that "...the opposite of addiction is not sobriety...the opposite of addiction is connection," there are lots of people who need to discover what true, healthy connection looks like. Whether the struggle is with addiction, toxic relationship dynamics, or something else, we've all tried to meet our needs in unhealthy ways. Way too often, the things we run to for comfort leave us feeling even more disconnected and alone than before.

Through conversations about the many ways we can connect, we offer an invitation to discover and move toward what we really want, so we can live the lives we were created for.

Awaken (awakenrecovery.com) helps men and women whose lives have been wrecked by unwanted/addictive sexual behaviors and sexual betrayal trauma. We hope the podcast will help not only those struggling sexually, but anyone who seeks healthier ways of finding connection.

"Send us a message! (questions, feedback, etc.)"

If you've been to many social gatherings, you probably know it isn't too hard to find the runners. We LOVE to talk about running...ALL about running. (And yes, we know it can be insufferable sometimes.) 😜

But if you're a non-runner, before you choose to skip this episode, let me really encourage you to give it a listen. Our friends Cary and Micah Morgan are not only pillars of the Birmingham AL and ultra-running communities, they're also people who love connecting with other people.

Our conversation gets into running, yes, but also kindness, curiosity, friendship, grief & loss, and the depth of closeness available to us when we look for it.

Episode 71 | Cary & Micah Morgan: Running Has a Way of Really Bringing People Together will be available Tuesday, July 21st!
