If we practice rigorous authenticity, we really try to identify what are the masks that we're wearing and what's true to us.
Picture this: you're juggling a high-powered career, battling addiction, and striving to lead a genuine life. That's the journey Michael Brody-Waite takes us on in this episode of 'The One Day At A Time Recovery Podcast'. Hosted by Arlina Allen, Michael, a former CEO and TEDx speaker, shares his candid experiences and hard-won wisdom from his book 'Great Leaders Live Like Drug Addicts'.
His story is not just about overcoming addiction but about embracing authenticity and setting boundaries in every aspect of life. Michael opens up about the pivotal role boundaries play in conserving energy and managing expectations. He emphasizes that it's not just about teaching others how to treat you but also about knowing your own limits. This episode dives deep into the struggles of maintaining self-esteem in recovery, revealing how asking for help can be a powerful act of strength.
One of the standout moments is Michael's discussion on living mask-free. He explains how step programs encourage shedding the facade we often wear to hide our true selves. Yet, he acknowledges the challenge of maintaining this authenticity outside the supportive bubble of recovery programs. His insights on leadership are equally compelling. Michael argues that being a recovering addict can be both a burden and a blessing, teaching valuable lessons on resilience and integrity.
The stakes are high, but so are the rewards. If you're looking for practical advice on leading a more authentic life, or if you need inspiration from someone who's been through the wringer and come out stronger, this episode is a must-listen.
