What makes a recovery story truly inspiring? In this episode of 'Tribe Sober,' Lynette Le Roux explores the thrilling yet challenging journey of breaking through personal barriers. Recorded on the morning of her departure to Bali for Tribe Sober’s 10-year celebration, Lynette shares her transformative experiences and the wisdom she's gathered from various mentors.
From Brooke Castillo’s concept of 'currency of growth' to Phil Stutz’s 'doorway of pain,' the episode delves into how discomfort can be a catalyst for change rather than something to be feared. Lynette discusses her personal battles with the urge to drink, highlighting how allowing herself to feel discomfort rather than resisting it helped her build emotional resilience.
She introduces listeners to the idea of 'surfing the urge,' a technique that encourages sitting with cravings until they pass, ultimately rewiring the brain's response to stressors. The episode also touches on the teachings of neuropsychologist Dr. Julia De Gangi, who emphasizes expanding one's emotional edge to hold more energy without losing balance. Lynette encourages listeners to embrace discomfort as a stepping stone to freedom and growth, much like Chuck Yeager's historic flight through the sound barrier.
By steadying oneself through life's turbulence, one can emerge stronger and more at peace. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the profound changes that can occur when you stop numbing yourself and start living at the edge. Are you ready to expand your comfort zone and find freedom on the other side?
