In this episode, we break down the 11 Shining Light Community Codes - the values that shaped us in and after incarceration, and still guide how we move through recovery, relationships, and community today.
The 11 codes...
1. Be Open, Be Curious
2. Brush Off the Small Stuff
3. Accept Non-Resolution
4. Start Simple
5. "Speak Life"
6. One Mic
7. Step Forward/Step Back
8. Speak from the "I"
9. Debate the Topic, Not the Person
10. Listen and Learn Before Offering Advice
11. Confidentiality.
We talk about what each code looks like in real life: from “Be Open, Be Curious” and “Start Simple” to “Speak Life,” “One Mic,” and “Confidentiality.” We share where we’ve lived these codes well, where we’ve failed, and how they’ve helped us build something solid instead of slipping back into chaos.
Because strong men aren’t built by accident. They’re built by the codes they live by.
