446 The Ish Step: Why Step Six Isn't About Perfection

This episode is a continuation of the step work I've been doing with friend Sonia Kahlon the host of the Sisters In Sobriety Podcast. We've both been getting really positive feedback so I'm excited to share this one with you!   Today we dig into Step Six: which is "Were entirely ready to have God remove our character defects" Let me say right off the bat, that we do address that term "character defects" and offer maybe more palatable phrasing, so if that bothers you just know it doesn't have to be a barrier.    In this episode, you'll learn: Why Step Six is really the "ish" step, and what that means for perfectionism in recovery How envy quietly becomes the thief of joy Why resentments build like pebbles in a sack until we collapse under the weight What internal family systems work (and "Manager Marge") looks like on an anxious morning   If you find this podcast helpful in any way, please share it with a friend! And if you haven't watched these on YouTube yet, I highly recommend it. Be sure to subscribe and all that stuff. It really helps me get the message of recovery out to those who need it most.   So without further delay, please enjoy this episode with Sonia!
