This podcast episode touches my heart.

As an ambassador and a champion of the 12 step recovery programme for people who choose to life a transformed life I am excited to share the thoughts from my guest today.

The EPIC Andrew King is EPIC for a few reasons. One is he’s an example of what you see is what you get! And in today’s veneered world that to me is refreshing…

Another reason is….. in my book ANYONE who overcomes their demons and uses their learnings to help others for the greater good is simply EPIC.

Thank you Andrew for sharing your learnings and experience with us in what I’m certain you'll find entertaining yet a profound conversation.

Below are Andrews version of the 12 steps recovery programme he has rewritten for everyday living. And in BOLD the word that encapsulates the step

1. Admit Life’s Challenges, Recognise that life can sometimes feel overwhelming, and we can’t control everything on our own.

Honesty

2. Believe in Inner strength, acknowledge that there’s a source of strength— whether within ourselves, in others, or in the universe, that can guide us through life.

Hope

3. Commit to trusting the process, Choose to let go of constant control and trust in the flow of life and the wisdom of greater forces.

Surrender

4. Self-Reflection, take a deep, honest inventory of our thoughts, emotions, and actions, identifying what serves us and what doesn’t.

Courage

5. Open Up - Share our insights, mistakes, and challenges with someone we trust, fostering connection and accountability.

Integrity

6. Embrace Growth, be open to change and let go of attitudes, habits, and beliefs that no longer serve us.

Willingness

7. Act with Humility, acknowledge our limitations and ask for help or guidance when needed, whether from others or from within.

Humility

8. Make Amends, identify people we may have hurt and areas where we can improve relationships, and commit to making things right.

Love

9. Repair and rebuild, take meaningful actions to restore harmony in relationships, while respecting others’ boundaries and readiness to heal.

Responsibility

10. Stay Self-Aware, Regularly reflect on our actions and intentions, promptly addressing any mistakes or missteps.

Discipline

11. Seek Connection and purpose, cultivate mindfulness, prayer, or meditation to align with our values and discover deeper meaning in life.

Awareness

12. Pay it Forward, share what we’ve learned, offering encouragement and support to others, while living as an example of authenticity and growth.

Did you know the shocking statistic from the Priory?

I quote… "Eating disorders, are responsible for more loss of life than any other mental health condition. Unfortunately, eating disorders are becoming increasingly common. Over the last 30 to 40 years, the prevalence of eating disorders has increased to become a widespread problem across the UK and worldwide".

As human beings we need food to survive … in a world of limitless information …how have we got less understanding of food is fuel to thrive… because it’s not actually about the food.

Let’s touch on what is behind our food intake and how to get back to the true purpose of food in our lives.

My guest said “ I don’t want anyone to feel what I felt. The self-hatred was deeply intense. I just didn’t want to be me. I wanted to be anyone but me.

Emotional and eating disorders effects too many of us and sadly due to a lack of understanding about what is a healthy way to eat.

The brilliant Lisa Unger whose insights, passion and simple 4 pillar strategy will inspire you to see your life and your relationship with food in a whole new light.

The only way through grief is to grieve.

Not normally finding myself short of the words to speak, this subject had me in that place.

GRIEF

One of those intangible subjects that is so tangibly unique to the individual that I questioned where to begin even talking about it…. Until I read ‘A journey through grief’

After reading Anna's book, not only was I left in awe of her being able to document so eloquently her own journey, she created space within the pages and with journal prompts to support and guide others but also every page she's drawn her own colour illustrations to leave no doubt that we are carried, comforted and cared for along our journey through grief.

This book isn't just for those grieving a loved one...it's for us all as we are all grieving something.

A truly remarkable story of Heartbreak to Triumph and the necessary choices needed to live a transformed life.

A strong and talented family man, my ex husband, with a willingness to be loving and kind and to live a healthy life, finds himself desperate and broken. Enduring years of turmoil in the clutches of addiction, Brian is now the living example of…

“Life is full of Miracles and behind every Miracle is a story that gave us no choice!”

Brian openly admits he felt his only way out was to go to the bitter end…until he made a choice.

“It’s all about choice, either carry on to the bitter ends or find a new way to live! Thanks to this last choice I’ve transformed my life and Now I’m over 5 years clean!”

When your whole world falls apart and those you love are pulled along for the ride, where do you begin to turn it all around?
