Trauma, Addiction, and the Twelve Steps – Part 2 with Ian Morgan Cron

What if your first addiction wasn’t to a substance, but to
someone’s approval?


In part two of our conversation with Ian Morgan Cron, we go
deeper into the cycle of addiction, codependency, and the hope of
recovery. Whether you're struggling with a relationship, a habit,
a performance-driven mindset, or just the weight of trying to “be
good,” this episode offers a profound invitation: transformation
doesn't come from trying harder—it comes from surrender.


You'll hear stories about the power of the 12 Steps, why
spiritual awakening matters more than willpower, and how our
early longings for love and safety often become tangled in the
behaviors we’re desperate to change. We talk about ministry,
leadership, trauma, boundaries, and what it really means to carry
your healing into the lives of others.


This isn’t a conversation about fixing people—it’s about engaging
your own story so you can show up with greater freedom,
compassion, and clarity.


Take a breath, take a listen. We hope you’ll hear something that
helps you come home to yourself.
