Engage: Do The Work (Episode 1 - Archive) of the Relational Recovery Podcast dives into the nitty-gritty of personal development, with hosts Wes Thompson and Austin Hill tackling the challenging reality that we all have to roll up our sleeves if we want to change. It's not just about showing up; it's about embracing the effort required to evolve into the person you aspire to be.
The episode sheds light on the importance of doing one's own work in recovery and personal growth, drawing on experiences from The Refuge Ministry, an inpatient rehab centre. Wes shares how they've ramped up their focus on mental health, providing more one-on-one and group sessions for their residents. But here's the kicker – even with all the support, the heavy lifting still falls on the individual. As Wes puts it, 'I have to take responsibility for myself'.
This conversation is a reminder that while guidance from counsellors and coaches is invaluable, true change comes from within. Expect a blend of Christian spirituality and psychology, with a sprinkle of humour as Wes and Austin banter about life's routines and the need for intentional effort. If you're looking for a conversation that nudges you towards self-reflection and personal accountability, this episode is a must-listen.
It’s a call to action to engage and do the work – because no one else can do it for you.
