This week, we’re excited to share one of our team’s favorite media picks: In the Circle, a podcast by Tommy Rosen. Tommy is an internationally recognized yoga teacher, addiction recovery expert, and founder of Recovery 2.0, a global community supporting people on their journey to overcoming addiction and building a thriving life.
Tommy’s approach to addiction is refreshingly broad, covering not only substance abuse but also other modern dependencies. He discusses the impact of addictions to digital technology, food, and even relationships, such as codependency—the struggle with boundaries and the feeling of not knowing where one person ends and another begins. He addresses financial addiction, whether through debt or an insatiable desire for more, and explores the many ways addiction manifests in our lives.
Tommy defines addiction as “any behavior that you continue to do despite its negative impact on your life.” Listening to In the Circle, you’ll encounter questions and stories that challenge you to think about addiction in a new way—beyond the conventional lens of substance use.
Take a listen, and open your mind to a more expansive view.
