You can’t heal what you’re still afraid to look at. This is about confronting what’s been buried—and learning to stop abandoning yourself in the process.
In today’s episode, Andrea is diving deep into Steps 4–7 of the ACA program. These ask us to face the pain we’ve been avoiding, break dysfunctional family programming, and peel back the layers of protection to finally get back to you.
How Step 4 helps us reclaim our story by facing patterns, wounds, and protective roles through a “blameless inventory” rooted in curiosity—not shame
Why sharing your truth in Step 5 breaks the toxic family rules of “don’t talk, don’t trust, don’t feel”—and opens the door to connection and release
The emotional shift that happens in Step 6 when we move from self-blame to readiness for growth—even when change feels unfamiliar or scary
How Step 7 invites us to surrender old survival strategies with compassion, not criticism—and begin embracing who we were always meant to be
Andrea’s reflections on how these steps cracked open her healing in sobriety, and how they continue to shape her recovery today
