Today is going to be a continuation of a new project called The Self-Help Junkie Podcast. I thought about just making it a series on this podcast, but I decided it should be its own thing. I’ll still be publishing episodes here that are focused on addiction recovery, but just feel like after nearly 8 years, there is another podcast format I’d like to explore that has more of a community aspect to it.    That format will be to identify personal development topics like self-esteem, shadow work, manifestation with evidence based practices. We will talk about what they are, why they’re important and to come up with 3 action items that we put into SMART goals so that we reduce the friction of creating new habits.   Here’s where you come in. As a community, we can start to implement the action items and “run the experiment” as they say in recovery rooms, to see what outcomes we experience. We’re going to meet bi-weekly on Zoom so you can share your thoughts with us about the action items, challenges you might be having and as a group we can come up with ideas that will help you move forward for a better outcome.   The overarching goal with all of this is three fold: to build connection, to feel better, and change our behavior in order to achieve our goals.    The founders group will be a $5 monthly membership to help us cover expenses and you can find the link in the show notes or go to patreon.com/selfhelpjunkie   https://www.patreon.com/selfhelpjunkie/membership   We will be tweaking the podcast along the way based on feedback, so your contributions will have a direct impact on the show.   If you have any questions, you can email me at selfhelpjunkiepodcast@gmail.com   I haven’t been this excited about a new project in a long time.  I feel like there are so many of us that are seekers and just below the surface is a helper, so together, I think we can accomplish amazing things!   So without further delay, please enjoy this episode and let me know what you think!   Subscribe So You Don’t Miss New Episodes!
