  • Why Emotional Intelligence Is Your Secret Weapon After Sobriety

    Why Emotional Intelligence Is Your Secret Weapon After Sobriety
    Nov 21 2025
    Sobriety gets you stable — emotional intelligence gets you unstoppable. If you’ve ever felt like you got sober… then life got louder, messier, and more emotionally demanding — this episode is your roadmap. I’m joined by my friend and emotional intelligence powerhouse, Noble Gibbens, to break down why EQ isn’t a nice-to-have in recovery — it’s the foundation of building a life you’re actually proud to live. Noble’s story is wild: military, high performer, “business cult,” decades of people-pleasing… and then a full-blown wake-up call that forced him to confront emotional immaturity head-on. What he learned rebuilt his marriage, rewired his relationships, reshaped his career, and transformed his entire identity. And listen — if you’re sober, even for a day, you know exactly why this matters.Alcohol numbed everything. Sobriety brings all of it back.EQ is how you handle it. This episode is loaded with tools, book recommendations, emotional vocabulary tips, and straight-up truth bombs to help you grow stronger, calmer, and more resilient in your day-to-day life. Plus, I created a full companion guide for you — every resource mentioned in this episode is inside it. Here are 3 Key Takeaways From This Episode: 1️⃣ Emotional Intelligence Is a Skill — Not a Personality Trait You weren’t born knowing how to navigate emotions. No one handed you a manual. EQ is learned, practiced, strengthened, and refined over time — and it becomes your competitive advantage in sobriety and in life. 2️⃣ Self-Awareness Is the First Step (and It’s Usually the Hardest) Most people think they’re self-aware… until they start naming their emotions, tracking their triggers, and seeing how much of their behavior is fueled by fear, people-pleasing, or old survival patterns. Awareness is the doorway to freedom. 3️⃣ Growth Requires Discomfort — But Discomfort Builds Power You can’t emotionally mature without running straight into the stuff you’ve been avoiding for years. But the moment you start doing the work, everything shifts — your relationships, your confidence, your boundaries, your entire sense of self.

  • Codependency, Control, and the Illusion of Being Needed

    Codependency, Control, and the Illusion of Being Needed
    Nov 19 2025
    The Hard Truth About Being "The Helper" (And Why It's Keeping You Stuck) In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood patterns in relationships: codependency. If you've ever felt exhausted from being "the strong one," guilty when you prioritize yourself, or frustrated when someone doesn't take your advice, this conversation is for you. I break down how codependency masquerades as love but is actually a hidden form of control—and how the need to be needed keeps both you and the people you care about stuck. You'll learn to recognize the subtle daily patterns that signal codependency, from checking your phone for someone else's emotional weather to canceling your own plans when someone seems "off." Then, I walk you through the practice of detachment with love—caring deeply while releasing your grip on outcomes. This isn't about being cold or distant. It's about trusting that others have their own path, their own lessons, and their own capacity to grow. I share practical steps like setting real boundaries (yes, you can not respond to every text), tolerating discomfort, and offering support without attachment. Finally, we dive into personal responsibility and emotional independence. You'll discover how to build your own sense of meaning that doesn't depend on being needed, practice self-compassion with the same kindness you give others, and reclaim the energy you've been pouring into everyone else's lives. 🔗 Links Mentioned in This Episode 🎧 Related Episode: Why Your Inner Voice Is So Mean — And How It Affects Your Recovery 💬 Coaching with Angela: Book a Free Solution Call 👥 Community: Join us in the Facebook group

  • The One Tool That Transformed My Sobriety (and Still Does)

    The One Tool That Transformed My Sobriety (and Still Does)
    Nov 14 2025
    The Same Tool Used by Olympic Athletes & Top Performers to Change Your Life If you’ve ever wondered how elite athletes, top entrepreneurs, and high-performers create insane results… this is it. And no — it’s not woo, it’s not wishful thinking, and it’s not pretending life is perfect. It’s science. And when you learn to use it to rewire your subconscious, override old limiting beliefs, and shift the way you feel about your life… everything changes. Here’s the wild part: Science says 95% of your brain activity is unconscious. That means almost everything you do — your habits, reactions, decisions, fears, beliefs — is driven by the part of your mind you don’t even realize is in control. It’s running old programs.Old stories.Old beliefs you didn’t choose. So the question becomes: How do you work with your subconscious mind to rewrite those stories so you can get MORE of what you want in life… and LESS of what you don’t? This episode breaks the whole thing down for you. You’ll learn: 👉 The neuroscience behind why visualization works(And why your brain treats imagined events like real ones) 👉 How your Reticular Activating System filters your entire life(And how to reprogram it so it works for you) 👉 Why fear + anxiety are just negative visualizations(and how to interrupt that pattern instantly) 👉 A super-simple visualization process you can start todayNo crystals. No chanting. No drama. Just actual science you can use right now. If you’ve been stuck in the start–stop cycle… doubting yourself… or fighting the same old patterns over and over… This tool changes everything. Grab your headphones and let’s dive in, my friend — you’re going to love this one. 🔗 Links Mentioned Book a Call With Angela: https://addictionunlimited.com/call Join the Private Facebook Group: https://facebook.com/groups/addictionunlimited Grab the Daily Plan Worksheet: https://addictionunlimited.com/plan

FINALLY!!! I have been saying this for years! We addicts & alcoholics have a great advantage over those that are never forced to take a hard look at ourselves, break it all down, rebuild from the ground up, starting with a establishing an unshakable foundation for creating a new life that we can stand up and be proud of - we have an advantage over everyone else. Other people are rarely going to do this painful, gut-wrenching, humbling work, unless they are forced to, ie., a trip to rehab, legal troubles, ultimatums from a spouse, family or friends, people simply aren’t going to strip themselves and their lives down to the bare bones unless they have no other choice. We, addicts and alcoholics, have the opportunity to change the way we see things; flip the script, as you like to say, Angela. Instead of having a “woe is me” attitude regarding having to do this life-changing work, see it as the true blessing it really is. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to become the best version of you possible. In turn, opening the door to the opportunity to live your best life!
I also want to thank you for backing me up on something I feel very strongly about myself - the idea that we have to “pick one” in regards to being a Life Coach or a Recovery Coach - as far as I’m concerned, you cannot be a well rounded Life Coach if you aren’t prepared to handle addiction at some point or another. By the same token, you can’t be a well rounded Recovery Coach if you can’t handle all facets of life. We have to be able to recognize addiction in any form, dressed up in any outfit, especially the uber expensive, designer ones…as a matter of fact, anyone struggling with anything that controls their life & negatively effects them & those that love them, yet they haven’t realized they are an “addict” because their addiction doesn’t fit into any of the mainstream “boxes”.
Whew! Sorry for rambling but I just wanted to give kudos & tell you that you have a new fan in me & I’ll be sharing your podcast with everyone I work with from here on.
I would love to share my story with you if you ever want to chat!
