Are you scared of losing people?

There’s a part of recovery that doesn’t get talked about enough.

You want connection.
You want to feel normal.
You don’t want to miss out.

But you also know that doing too much can set you back.

And then the guilt creeps in.
“Am I being difficult?”
“Am I an inconvenience?”
“Will people stop inviting me?”

In this week’s podcast, I answer a member’s question about how to set boundaries with friends and family without feeling weird, selfish, or ashamed.

This isn’t about isolating yourself.

It’s about learning how to stay connected in a way
that actually supports your recovery.

You’re not an inconvenience.

You’re just rebuilding your health.

Why this happens in recovery

Have you ever noticed one part of recovery improving while another feels worse?

It’s more common than people realise and it doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong.

In this short podcast, I explain why progress can feel uneven and how to stop one area improving at the expense of another.

This will save you a lot of energy

One of the biggest energy leaks in recovery is trying to explain yourself.

Someone asks how you are… and you feel pressure to justify everything.

Your symptoms, your limits, why you can’t do what you used to do.

And you leave the conversation feeling drained.

In our today's podcast episode, I share a simple way to respond that protects your energy, keeps the conversation moving, and stops you going into the “over-explaining spiral.”

It’s calm, practical, and especially helpful if you’ve been seeing more people lately.
