Presence, Addiction, and the Pull to Leave Yourself

Hello love! I'm so excited to share this episode with you. I explore the relationship between presence and addiction, and how what we’re actually craving isn’t the thing itself, but what we believe it will give us. I share my personal journey with this pattern, and how learning to stay with myself, rather than escape, completely shifted my relationship with it. We dive into what’s really underneath the urge to leave, how to begin meeting yourself in those moments, and why healing isn’t about eliminating urges, but understanding them. If you’re craving deeper support, you can join the Dharma Dojo membership anytime. Our theme this month is Connection - a space to reconnect with yourself, practice being fully present, and explore what it means to be in relationship with your life in a more grounded, authentic way. Find out more about Dharma Dojo here. Join our newsletter for monthly collective energy readings & tips on how to nurture your inner sanctuary here.  If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, leave a review, and let’s grow this healing movement together 💛
