In this episode, Christina discusses the importance of curiosity as a foundation for life and recovery. Curiosity encourages self-discovery, building awareness, and learning new coping strategies. It also helps explore values and goals, navigate setbacks, and engage in other people's experiences. By being curious, we can gain insight into our patterns and motivations, and find motivation to stay committed to our recovery journey.
**If you are struggling with your mental health or having thoughts of self harm, please seek the help of professionals. We only speak from our own perspective and experience. This recording should not be used as a replacement for professional help but as encouragement in your recovery journey.
