241 - Why A Hobby Could Dramatically Improve Your Life
In the early years of adulthood, hobbies are more or less built into our lives. But as careers develop and families begin to grow, without intentionality hobbies typically fall to the wayside. This is a huge travesty, as hobbies provide cushioning between stimulus and response, and conditioning to create separation between responsibilities and roles in our live. Both of these are vital for long-term freedom, and today's episode explains why (while offering many examples of a hobby you could begin today).

238 - A Revolutionary Way To Handle Self Hatred
If you have dealt with any degree of self-hatred before, you will understand just how taxing the experience can be. Typically self-hatred is when we explain discrepancies, uncertainties, and shortcomings in life using inner measures.
While we know that self-compassion, turning to God, and finding places of belonging are important, these solutions are often executed prematurely, having minimal effect as a result. Instead, you must first address the issue of control in the situation.
Today's episode explains why, how, and the beautiful benefits of following this process.

236 - Beware of Big Al
As social media and search engines continue to rule the day, one thing we must beware of is Big Al. Whether we like it or not, algorithms rule the digital world. The better you understand how they work, the more effectively they will serve you, rather than you serving them.

232 - How To Effectively Handle Political Discussions
Cancel culture, political opinion, and algorithms seem to rule the day, especially in the midst of a global pandemic and wars. In today's episode, Sathiya shares a recent personal experience with this dynamic, and a few things he learned that might be useful for anyone trying to engage in this subject matter. While politics don't have a direct correlation to someone's addiction, often these topics can become triggering and leave you more vulnerable for slips. The better you can handle these conversations, the more effective you will be in recovery.
