Naming Your Struggles: The Power of Mindset Coaching in Recovery

Living through the process of step six is like a living step where all of a sudden you're like: oh, there's a new character defect and you skim it off the surface and you cast it away.
Ever feel like you're battling invisible demons? In this episode of 'Grateful Blessed Mess', Nora Franche shares how identifying and naming your character defects can be a game-changer in recovery. As a certified mindset coach and dedicated 12-stepper, Nora offers her wisdom on why pinpointing these flaws is crucial for growth. Drawing from her personal journey, she explains how Step Six helped her release old identities and embrace new, healthier ones.
Nora dives deep into the significance of being ready to let go of these defects, emphasizing the transformative power of naming them. She recalls her own experiences within the Catholic faith, where virtues and vices gave her the language to articulate her struggles. For every challenge she faced, there was a virtue to pray for or an act of kindness to perform.
The episode also touches on the concept of 'skimming the fat'—the idea that new character defects will continually surface, and it's our job to recognize and discard them. Nora reassures listeners that it's okay not to uncover all defects at once; recovery is a perpetual journey. If you're finding it hard to see the blessings in your messes, Nora's mindset coaching might be just what you need.
This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt insights, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating the 12-step path. Whether you're stuck in the steps or struggling with abstinence, Nora's experiences offer a valuable perspective on finding gratitude and growth in the midst of recovery.
