129. But How Do I Know If I'm Making Progress?

This episode, livestreamed to our Facebook community, is a response to a listener question that asks: How do we know when we're making progress in recovery? If we aren't celebrating pounds or dress sizes lost, how do we mark the "successes" of recovery? And how do we deal with the fact that no one else can "see" it?

• Stef's moment in the kitchen, yesterday
• Sarah's mincemeat pies (and a tangent discussion on mincemeat)
• Stef offers examples of the small wins from her first year in recovery
• Self-compassion instead of shame
• Vulnerability and sharing with other people (power of witness)
• The perspective of our progress from others
• The value of stability and regulation
• Can other people "feel" your recovery?
