In this episode of Relational Recovery, hosts West Thompson and Austin Hill dive into the intricate balance of leadership, community, and setting appropriate expectations. They kick things off with an inspiring story about William Wilberforce, a British abolitionist whose relentless efforts helped dismantle the Atlantic slave trade. This historical context sets the stage for a broader discussion on how faith and persistence can drive societal change, even when the results aren't immediately visible.
West and Austin reflect on the ongoing struggle for justice and how it parallels the personal journey of recovery. They highlight the importance of having a long-term perspective, recognising that progress often comes in small, incremental steps rather than giant leaps. The hosts stress that maintaining appropriate expectations is crucial—not just for leading others but also for personal growth and recovery. One of the key takeaways from this episode is the significance of community.
West and Austin emphasise that being part of a supportive group can make all the difference when you're facing life's inevitable ups and downs.

The episode wraps up with practical advice on how to lead a fulfilling life by embracing both the good and the bad.
West encourages listeners to surround themselves with good people who can offer support during tough times. Austin adds that while community can be painful, it's also essential for thriving. If you're looking for an honest, compassionate discussion about recovery, leadership, and the power of community, this episode is a must-listen. It offers valuable insights and practical advice that can help you navigate your own journey toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.
