HR Leaders: Would you invest $500/month to save $4,700+ in turnover costs while supporting a valued employee's recovery?

That call from the doctor's office changed everything—not my health, but my perspective on how fear hijacks our best decisions.

As professionals, we make countless choices daily. But when fear takes the wheel, even our most rational minds can steer us away from opportunities and toward limitation.

This is especially true for professionals in recovery, where every decision carries additional weight. Do I attend that networking event? How do I handle workplace stress? Should I be transparent about my needs?

I've learned that the same skills that support sustained recovery—emotional regulation, authentic communication, values-based thinking—are exactly what we need to make courageous decisions despite fear.

As a recovery coach professional, I'm concerned about RFK's proposed "Recovery Farms" approach to addiction treatment. While we desperately need solutions to our nation's overdose crisis, evidence shows that effective treatment requires multiple pathways, not just one.

In this week's edition, I examine why exclusive 12-step approaches, religious requirements, and rejecting medication-assisted treatment contradict what we know works in addiction recovery.

What do you think about this proposed approach? Are we moving forward or backward in addressing addiction?

Healthcare professionals, especially nurses, face unique challenges that often go unseen. This week's newsletter explores how peer support groups provide crucial spaces for nurses to share experiences, process difficult emotions, and develop resilience in the face of professional challenges.

In "Supporting Those Who Care," we highlight how these groups offer emotional support and practical strategies that help nurses thrive in high-pressure environments while preventing burnout and compassion fatigue. Read more about this important topic here:
