Ever catch yourself saying, 'I have to do this'? Jesse Mogle is here to flip that script. In episode 203 of 'From Sobriety to Recovery', Jesse dives into the subtle but powerful shift from feeling obligated to recognizing our choices. He’s all about finding the joy in what we do, rather than feeling trapped by 'have to's'.

He shares his own journey through addiction and recovery, offering practical steps to uncover why we make the choices we do. You'll hear about the three-step process to unearth your internal motivators and how to turn daily tasks from burdens into sources of joy. Jesse doesn't shy away from discussing the role of punishment either, advocating for it to come from a place of love rather than retribution.
