Show Up and Stay | Sober Positive Workplace
A recovery podcast to bridge the gap between healing from the substance and healing your life. We have some technology and science, but primarily storytelling and heart. We cover various topics related to finding sobriety and unlocking sustainable recovery. Topics include healing from substance use disorder, managing cravings, emotions in early sobriety, triggers, mental health, comorbidity, managing depression and anxiety, dopamine, the addicted brain, grounding, re-parenting, handling disappointment, substance grieving, acceptance, and more. Our current focus is on Sober Positive Workplace.
Show Up and Stay | Sober Positive Workplace
From self-betrayal to honest parenting and vulnerable leadership (w/ Steve Knapp of Through the Glass Recovery)
Cross-over episode! Today, DeAnn is joined by half of the Through the Glass Recovery podcast team, Steve Knapp, to talk about sobriety, the workplace, and vulnerability. This is a candid conversation about difficult things that many are rarely willing to discuss with such self-awareness and humility. We are so grateful to Steve for sharing so much of himself here. It makes for an authentic and grounded episode.
- Recovery, addiction, and workplace stigma.
- Fear of blowback and lack of safety are common concerns for those in recovery, making it challenging to navigate workplace environments without feeling judged or vulnerable
- Steve, a married father of two, was a high-functioning alcoholic who hid his addiction but struggled with depression and anxiety.
- Addiction recovery, relationships, and fatherhood.
- Difficult topics are discussed authentically, including parenthood and working through relationship struggles in sobriety.
- Career fulfillment and disconnection in corporate culture.
- Steve emphasizes the importance of vulnerability and emotional health in the workplace, citing the need for leaders to treat employees like humans and create a sense of team.
- Personal growth, adventure, and self-improvement.
- Leadership expectations create boundaries and addiction, leading to unequal treatment and discontinuation of feedback
- Steve is now using social media and podcasting to share his journey and connect with others
