#8 Limiting Factors
Carp discusses the benefits and power of limitation, the nature of tolerance building, the dopaminergic threshold, the hedonic baseline, and "turning the other cheek". The fear messages we keep getting are getting stronger and the outlook is getting more bleak (in "Their" messaging) and this episode focuses on limiting exposure to negative messaging and looking inward to keep our sanity. And if you happen to be the one driving yourself insane this episode may provide first steps out of that.&...

#5 Validating My Experience
This episode focuses on the next step after doubt, validation. In this episode (I've been talking about myself in these descriptions in the third person and it's coming off weird, so I'm changing it) I discuss my attempt to move from using external validation to internal validation to center myself in my experience of life, and more specifically how I can orient myself in sobriety to know I'm on the right path even when it doesn't feel that way. Gratitude emerges as one of the main elements o...

#6 Confidently Insecure
This episode rounds out the 3 part mini-series of doubt, validation, and confidence. Confidence is broken down into situational confidence and general confidence. In my attempt to define what those two are and how I'm recognizing them in my life, the episode goes off the rails (as is becoming the norm) eventually circling back to how I'm using both situational and general confidence to reach my ultimate goal: Peace of Mind.

#4 I Doubt It

#3 Adjusting to the Disorder
Carp discusses rage-inducing tv mounts, mindsets and expectations that lead to misery, and some of the various diagnoses he's received, namely adjustment disorder, and how working with diagnoses as a tool for improvement rather than a label to identify ourselves with can be helpful in creating separation for growth. This episode focuses on openness and willingness to simply notice things and be willing to change. Reading out loud is also attempted and failed, but as we learned last week...

#2 Practice Makes Perfect
The second episode of the podcast is actually the 6th dry-run attempt at figuring out podcasting. In going back through the practice episodes before publishing this one contained great content that was worthy of seeing the light of day. While this one doesn't follow exactly in the sequential order of things, it does contain useful exercises in NLP-type activities and discusses the importance of understanding the language we use internally that shapes our reality.
