In this episode of the Finding Peace podcast, join us as we delve into an inspiring conversation with Sam, a man in recovery who is striving to change his life. With 18 months of recovery under his belt, Sam reflects on his journey towards better self-care, revealing his struggles with taking time off work due to deep-seated fears of rejection and being expendable. Together, we explore the roots of these fears, tracing them back to influential moments in his life and unveiling the shadows of the judge, martyr, and politician that have shaped his beliefs.

As Sam opens up about the emotional wounds and expectations that have followed him since childhood, he discovers empowering insights and ways to challenge the narratives that have held him back. This heartfelt discussion offers listeners a window into one person's fight for self-acceptance amidst pressures for perfection, while encouraging us all to embrace our worthiness and prioritize self-care in our daily lives.
