We’re doing something different—an honest check-in about balance. What’s working, what’s not, and the tiny habits that move us from a 3 to a 6 on our “balance scale.”

You'll learn how a quick mini shower can flip your brain out of work mode, why 15-minute buffers are magic, and how to stop the comparison loop on social media.

In this powerful episode of Deciphering Growth, Tiffany Graves and Eric Stone sit down with filmmakers Blue and Jason Ge**er, directors of the documentary Dawn Dusk. The film follows designer Chelli Look as she navigates grief, forgiveness, and resilience after losing her sister to domestic violence.

Rather than focusing on the violence itself, Dawn Dusk explores the healing journey that follows — showing how creativity, advocacy, and the rhythms of life can transform pain into purpose. The conversation dives into themes of trauma, grief, forgiveness, and the role of art in mental health recovery.

🧠 New Episode Alert: Addiction Recovery with Compassion: Healing the Trauma That Fuels It

How does trauma shape addiction—and how can recovery programs support true healing? In this week’s episode of Deciphering Growth, we break down what it really means for recovery spaces to be trauma-informed. We talk about the language that helps (and harms), common missteps in traditional models, and the importance of nervous system regulation in healing.

We’re also exploring alternative programs and what it means to build safer, more supportive recovery environments for everyone.

✨ If you’ve ever wondered why some recovery programs miss the mark—or how we can do better—this is an episode for you.

🌿 New Episode Alert: Self-Medicating the Pain: A Trauma-Informed Look at Addiction

Addiction isn’t a moral failure—it’s often a survival response to unresolved trauma. In this week’s episode of Deciphering Growth, we unpack the neuroscience of addiction, how trauma rewires the brain, and why healing requires more than willpower.

Join us as we explore how self-medication—whether through substances, behaviors, or habits—can become a coping mechanism for pain, and what true recovery and nervous system regulation actually look like.

✨ This episode is for anyone who’s struggled, supported someone in recovery, or simply wants a deeper understanding of trauma-informed healing.

🕗 Early access drops tonight (8/5) at 8PM for our Patreon members.
☀️ Public release is 7AM on 8/6 on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major listening platforms.
