  • A Heart of Stone

    A Heart of Stone
    2025/09/05
    Recovery is heavy on the heart, both for ourselves and the family. Over time, the weight of self-pity and shame, regrets and resentments, fears and judgments, hardens the heart, separating us from solution, fellowship, support, and love. It happens to us all, in varying degrees and for different reasons. We might even think it is ok, as long as we don't relapse or harm others. But it is not ok. True recovery is about transforming our heart into a home of genuine love and joy, not only physical sobriety and mental stability. It is about creating serenity within ourselves so we have the ability to create peace with loved ones. In this episode, Nadia shares about a recent experience with her sons, illuminating the transformational, healing power of this process as a parent in recovery. You too can transform a heart of stone into a heart of solid recovery and blessings for both yourself and loved ones. "Our capacity to make peace with another person, and with the world, depends very much on our capacity to make peace within ourselves."

  • Building a HOME WITHIN: Time is NOT Linear

    Building a HOME WITHIN: Time is NOT Linear
    2025/08/29
    Feel stuck in the past? Caught in fears for tomorrow? Find it difficult to accept everything exactly as it is today, in this very moment? If so, the universe is asking you to do something about it, to build a home within your heart where you can receive all the love it has to offer. In this episode, Nadia reviews the first steps to tune-in to the heart (Check Out "Building a Home Within #1"), plus introduces the healing power of changing one's perception of time itself. You’ll be challenged to explore the concept of “time” as a non-linear phenomena - that past, present, and future exist simultaneously, influencing each other in an interconnected dimension. Nadia shares how this perspective empowers her recovery. Life begins it to explain itself, profound lessons are revealed, and opportunities for deeper healing present themselves for the taking. The opportunity is now to leave a legacy of LOVE. Listen in. Tune in, then witness all fears and shame be transformed into healing power.

  • Grief & Shame #2 with Dr. Monica Krishnan

    Grief & Shame #2 with Dr. Monica Krishnan
    2025/08/16
    Grief is caused by many things, and is experienced in even more varying ways. Death, divorce, physical separation, even emotional distance, can cause intense feelings of loss, confusion, and despair. It might even seem no one could possibly understand what we are going through. We may isolate and even beat ourselves up for feeling so alone and depressed, denying ourselves the love, support, understanding, and grace we deserve. In this episode, Dr. Monica Krishnan, Pharm D, joins Nadia for a meaningful discussion about this relationship between grief and shame, what we can do to support ourselves and others, increase awareness, and most of all, prevent shame from harming the healing journey. Dr. Monica Krishnan, PharmD, is a Clinical Pharmacist with over 25 years experience, a Mental Health and Grief Advocate, a Medical Writer for @goodrx, and an author of “Finding Pockets of Sunshine,” a children' s book about mental health and grief. Here, on this podcast, we want you to know - you are not alone on the healing journey. Everyone deserves a safe space to share, cry, and be vulnerable. If you can’t find that place outside you right now, there is a space within you that can heal all - Home is Within You.

    Ever feel as though you can't get a moment's relief from your own thoughts and mind? Or as though you are your worst enemy, seemingly jeopardizing your recovery and relationships? If you're seeking a new way of living, in this episode Nadia gently walks through the first baby steps anyone can take to begin living differently through a space of refuge, calm, clarity, and love within, rather than solely the ego/mind. The suggestions are basic and relatable, including a story, life update, and examples of how she mishandled shame-based thoughts in the past, in comparison to what she did/does today, guiding us through steps we can all take to transform shame into recovery and healing power. #newthinking #newwayoflife #stopjeopardizingyourself FREE BAN SHAME TIP SHEET⁠ EMPOWER YOUR RECOVERY⁠ ⁠YOGA (FREE for Parents in Recovery)⁠ ⁠GIVE BACK⁠ ⁠FOLLOW⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
