**Author's Note:**
I wrote Wholly Sober in 2016. I'm aware of the shift in terminology, where Substance Use Disorder is considered a more inclusive term than alcoholism. While recognizing the importance of language, it's crucial to acknowledge that the traditional treatment plan remains largely unchanged, irrespective of the label. In this podcast, I delve into personal experiences and alternative perspectives, aiming to transcend the confines of labels and explore the diverse paths to sobriety.

Get ready for a gripping story that unfolds through the eyes of our protagonist.
In this chapter, we're taken into the gritty reality of family life, with scenes of violence and the lasting impact it leaves behind.
Our protagonist wrestles with mixed messages from her church, where love is preached, but judgment and gossip linger in the pews. Growing up brings disillusionment with organized religion, fueled by the discovery of hypocrisy and the impossible standards set by the divine.

encounters with family members and their friends, leading to a profound disconnection from God. The struggle with damnation and guilt is real. Brace yourself as we explore the allure of substances like cocaine and methamphetamine, and the rollercoaster relationships tied to addiction.
Our protagonist grapples with the belief that she's "too bad to be saved," culminating in a deep disconnection from God, spirit, and conscience. The chapter closes with a powerful choice – to feed the "hungriest wolf" within her, embodying anger, fear, guilt, and
self-doubt.
This narrative weaves together themes of abuse, addiction,
religious heartbreak, and personal battles, offering a raw and honest glimpse into the complexity of the human experience. Stay tuned for a journey that's as heart-wrenching as it is inspiring, only here on the Magic of Possibilities podcast!

Finding Peace by Embracing Authenticity and Grace During the Holidays
Hello, wonderful listeners! Teresa Rodden here, welcoming you to another heartwarming episode of the Magic of Possibilities podcast. In this enchanting journey, we delve into the magic that the holiday season brings—filled with warmth, joy, and the potential for transformation.
As we unwrap today's episode, let's explore the transformative power of authenticity. Amidst the holiday hustle, it's easy to lose sight of our true selves under the weight of societal expectations. What if, instead of succumbing to external pressures, we focused on being authentically us?
Being yourself is a magical gift, not only to yourself but to the world. It's about embracing your uniqueness, quirks, and individual magic. Authenticity creates space for incredible possibilities to unfold, and that's what we're diving into today.
Now, let's talk about extending grace during this festive season. Navigating family gatherings and unexpected moments requires a touch of kindness. Everyone is on their own journey, carrying stories, joys, and challenges. Extending grace means offering compassion, not just to others, but to ourselves. Let's approach the holidays with open hearts, ready to embrace the beautifully unique imperfections that make life magical.
Navigating challenging family dynamics during the holidays can be demanding, but fear not. Here are three tips to help you center yourself in the midst of it all. First up, practice mindfulness. Be mindful of what you consume before family events, whether it's news or content that may affect your energy.
Next, set boundaries. Communicate assertively but kindly, remembering that you are responsible for how you feel. Setting boundaries doesn't mean allowing mistreatment, but it does mean handling situations with grace.
And finally, focus on gratitude. Shift your focus from challenges to what you're grateful for. Engage in gratitude practices to center your emotions and infuse positivity into the holiday season.
Remember, it's okay to acknowledge challenges. Prioritize self-care, stay true to your values, and seek support when needed. As you navigate this holiday season, embrace the magic of being authentically you, and extend grace to others, creating an atmosphere of love and acceptance.

They emphasize their openness to possibilities, curiosity, and a heart open to learning from life's experiences.
The host shares how their current connection with Christianity differs from a childhood experience of feeling unworthy and disconnected from God due to strict religious rules and dogma. They mention that they now have a relationship with Jesus Christ that allows them to focus on their inner guidance rather than the opinions of others.
The episode recounts a significant encounter with a hawk during a walk with their dogs, a bird they had never seen in their neighborhood before. They researched the symbolism of hawks in Native American culture, which suggests that it's time to step into one's power and embrace a broader perspective. This encounter challenges the negative connotations associated with magic in some Christian contexts.
The host then describes a subsequent encounter with a bird, initially thought to be a crow but later realized to be another hawk, further reinforcing the idea that the hawk is a significant symbol in their life.
Throughout the episode, the host expresses their belief in magic and miracles as positive, life-affirming experiences that are not inherently evil. They also stress the importance of following one's inner guidance and pursuing what brings joy and love to their life and the lives of others.
In conclusion, the episode explores the host's personal journey of reconciling their Christian faith with their fascination with magic and the mysterious possibilities of life. It highlights the importance of trusting one's inner compass and maintaining a connection with love and joy. The host invites listeners to reach out and engage with them on their website for further discussions and reflections on these topics.
Crisis Quitting What It Is and Why It Typically Fails
Crisis Quitting
This is a common theme I witnessed when I was in treatment
and Alcoholics Anonymous. There have been a few but not many, that have consulted
with me that were interested in crisis quitting, but because of the nature of
my work and my approach it’s not usually a good fit, and we figure that out
quickly.
My name is Teresa Rodden. I am an author and a coach
working on becoming a podcaster. Don’t laugh or do, it’s not easy doing
something new, but it’s worth trying when you’re passionate about the end game.
For me, that’s serving you by providing a safe and comfortable space to explore
your concerns and possibilities. So, let’s get to it.
What is crisis quitting? Let me paint a scenario or two...
Read my first book, Wholly Sober - How I Stopped Thinking About Drinking and Started Loving My Life
Is This All There Is?
When Moon Magic Meets Wholly Sober
This podcast was inspired by my following IG post and I expanded on it with a little more love.
"Let’s talk about a little moon magic and stuff✨
We are under the energy of the new moon. Astrology, Moonology, Numerology, and such don’t necessarily need to be magical but can help you see the magical potential in ordinary life.
It’s all perspective.
Is it magical that on Christmas Eve I cried most of the day missing home and the familiar and the next day I made a decision to make the best of my blessed situation. And just happened to pull a moonology card that said to do exactly that.
The next day my husband was offered an amazing opportunity that would move us back home to Oregon. Magic?
We sold our NC home in a downturn market in record time and made a profit. Magic?
Drove across the country between hellish storms. Magic?
Just a few examples of focusing on what I wanted instead of what I didn’t shifted how I thought, acted, and attracted.
I didn't focus on wanting to go home I focused on wanting to celebrate the precious life I had.
More importantly, shifting my focus enabled me to release the struggle and open to receive. Magic?
So, we are moving into our new home tomorrow under the new moon energy, our new home address reduces to number one “House number 1
The vibration of a number 1 in Numerology is that of drive and ambition, making a 1 home number perfect for someone who wants to embrace their independent spirit.” Magic?
And with love and encouragement from many of my friends, peers, and mentors I feel more on purpose, steadfast, and resonate with my message and work than ever. Magic?
So, I drew a card for all of us and the affirmation is...
“There is only one of me, it’s safe to be me and I love me!”
Call it magic, Call it wisdom. Call it intention.
Call it whatever empowers you and encourages you to believe in the possibilities.
Use the superpowers of having a clear mind, open heart, and defined intention – I’d call that Wholly Sober Magic."
I hope you enjoy the listen and would love to hear from you.
