Unearthing Joy, Gratitude & Spiritual Growth with Author Bracha Goetz

April 18, 2023 • Shelby John / Bracha Goetz • Episode 117

In today's episode, I sit down with Bracha Goetz, a Havard-educated author of 40 children's books and the candid memoir, Searching for God in the Garbage. Join us as we dive into spirituality in life and in recovery, managing big emotions, and finding gratitude in life's smallest pleasures.

Highlights:

The role of spirituality in recovery (from any addiction), and how it helped Bracha transform her life.
The importance of connecting with a higher power in the healing process.
Managing big emotions: how to sit with discomfort and managing overwhelming emotions as we work towards healing and growth.
Finding gratitude in the small things and the importance of presence and mindfulness in rediscovering the simple joys of life.
The decision to stay stuck in misery or choose happiness and work towards a solution.
Discovering what brings you joy.
