On this week’s episode of In The Circle, we’re visiting one of my most impactful episodes - Episode 8. In this episode, Elizabeth brings a thought-provoking question to The Circle: Can I Prevent A Relapse Before It Starts?

Today's thoughtful inquiry comes as Elizabeth offers the deeply meaningful subject of relapse for closer inspection. In doing so, we reframe the meaning of the word, removing all shame from its existence, and call in the support of others on the path.

Where it’s easy to point blame at a person, a circumstance, even one defining moment – we learn to take a step back, in silence, to assess the many other variables that led to such a moment. In taking responsibility for how we can get there, it becomes easier to avoid repeating the same actions.

Tommy Discusses:

Relapse is not a necessity, even though it's very common
Optionality of relapse outcomes
Identifying and traveling to different levels of consciousness
How can we avoid relapse?

118. The Spiritual Path of Recovery with Father Richard Rohr 1:01:25

10 hours ago1:01:25

1:01:25

In this episode of In the Circle, I am extremely privileged to speak with Father Richard Rohr. Richard Rohr is a Franciscan friar, author, and spiritual teacher renowned for his work in Christian mysticism and contemplative spirituality. Born in 1943 in Kansas, he was ordained a Catholic priest in 1970 and later founded the Center for Action and Contemplation (CAC) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Through the CAC and the Living School for Action and Contemplation, Rohr has helped thousands explore a deeper, more experiential faith. Rohr’s teachings emphasize the union of action and contemplation, encouraging spiritual growth through lived experience rather than rigid doctrine. His message includes ideas like the “true self,” the “universal Christ,” and the transformative power of embracing paradox, suffering, and mystery. He is known for offering an “alternative orthodoxy” that bridges traditional Christian thought with modern spiritual needs. He has authored numerous influential books, including Falling Upward, The Universal Christ, and The Divine Dance. Though recent health challenges have led him to step back from public speaking, Rohr continues to write and guide through his work at the CAC, remaining a vital voice in contemporary spirituality.

In this episode of In the Circle, I have the honor of talking with writer, musician, and master teacher of Kundalini Yoga, Guru Singh. Guru Singh is a globally respected spiritual teacher, musician, and author who has shaped the Kundalini yoga and meditation community for decades. Renowned for his dynamic, science-based, and musically infused teaching style, he has trained thousands of teachers worldwide, inspiring a ripple effect of conscious awareness. Alongside his wife, Guruperkarma Kaur, he co-founded Kundalini University and The 13 Moons community, offering mentorship, teacher trainings, and spiritual guidance to a global audience. With nine books, numerous albums, and a strong media presence, Guru Singh blends ancient wisdom with modern insight—making spirituality accessible, practical, and profoundly transformative. In this episode, we shed light on what addiction is and why it is a special gift for those who get to experience addiction and then recover from it. He delves into the causes of resentment and shame and how to move beyond these challenges.

51:03

In this episode of In the Circle, we take a look at an inquiry I get asked the most: How Do I Get Sober? What does sobriety truly entail? By asking this question, we are looking for a way to evolve into a better version of ourselves– to let go of the old and embrace the new. In order to move towards a life filled with more love, connection, and fulfillment, we need to be honest, vulnerable, and open to change. We need to remember that momentum comes slowly and develop a one-day-at-a-time concept of life. All we have to do is stay sober today. If you're reading this, the time has come for you to make the change that you know you must make. Tommy Discusses: The step-by-step process to getting sober Why there is strength in vulnerability Why you should never hesitate to phone a friend!

113. Is Addiction A Disease? 1:09:35

5 weeks ago1:09:35

1:09:35

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, I delve into the complex and often debated topic: Is addiction a disease? We explore how society interprets addiction and the implications these interpretations have on treatment approaches. What are the motivations behind defining addiction as a disease? If addiction isn't seen as a disease, how do we understand and “fix” it? We also take a look at the characterization of addiction as a disease of the brain and nervous system, focusing on remission rather than cure. This has led to an increased reliance on pharmacological treatments in addiction recovery. While these are important tools and can be effective for short-term withdrawal relief, their prolonged use might lead to additional dependencies and impede full emotional and mental recovery. The holistic approach to recovery is still, in my opinion, the best and most effective long-term recovery plan—by taking abstinence-based approaches and following the transformative power of 12-step programs, yoga, meditation, and breathwork. Tommy Discusses: Whether or not addiction is a disease The effects of prolonged use of addiction medications Are we treating the symptom or the root of addiction? Why does humankind fall for addictive substances? Why the holistic approach to addiction recovery is the most effective Would you like to be a guest on the In The Circle Podcast?

112. Are the 12 Steps Still Relevant Today? 42:55

42:55

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, we’re revisiting an extremely relevant inquiry: Are the 12 Steps still relevant today, how do they fit into modern recovery, and why did I adapt the 12 Steps into the 12 Efforts? Of course, when we explore these questions, we will need to discuss the challenges that come up with language and the power of words. Do people in recovery always have to refer to themselves as addicts or should that identification change? In a way, this exploration is fundamental to all who are on the path of recovery. We need to know what works, why it works, and how it can work better. We must always strive to honor the past, but we must also innovate and improve upon what is there to create an even brighter future. Tommy Discusses: How language gets in the way of our growth The ties between yoga and the 12 Steps How to embrace your past and overcome resentments Why he created the 12 Efforts Readying yourself to be of service to other people Why he is proud to be a part of “The Island of Misfit Toys” Would you like to be a guest on the In The Circle Podcast?

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, we’re revisiting what I believe to be one of the most important aspects of recovery: Yoga . In this episode, we have the pleasure of discussing the role of yoga in recovery and how we can overcome people's innate resistance to the practice. Chris asks… If freedom from addiction is possible, and yoga is the medicine, how then do we make this medicine more accessible? This is such an important episode, as there is no one left on the planet unaffected by addiction. You either experience it yourself or someone you love is going through it. And if you want to take your recovery all the way, yoga is going to be a part of it. Let's come to understand both yoga and recovery from a much broader perspective and see what's waiting for the person in recovery who embraces both paths. Tommy Discusses: Chris asks about the preconceived notions around yoga Defining yoga as calming the mind Breaking barriers of culture, region, and language Can a devout Christian practice yoga in alignment with their beliefs?

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, we’re looking back on a topic that sits deep in the minds of most people who are in recovery– What If The 12 Steps Aren’t For Me? Jeanne, a member of our Recovery 2.0 community shares about how the 12 steps will always be the foundation of her recovery, but that after a while she felt called to explore alternative paths of healing. What starts as a question about adopting modern-day healing modalities into 12-step recovery turns into a powerful look at what is broken about our approach to recovery in America and what we can do about it. There are so many options when it comes to recovery, and it is certainly my prayer that people will explore all the avenues that lead to health and wellness. I We want to thank Jeanne today for asking this question and bringing so much to the table that we can explore. We must take stock of why we do what we do, especially when it comes to our decisions about healthcare and the well-being of all people.

45:09

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, we’re taking it back to where it all began - Episode 1. In this episode, Theresa asked us such a very important question: is it possible for a person in recovery to truly reach a place of peace and contentment? This incredibly powerful question, it seems to me, is really about the entire human race. Is it possible for any person, whether in recovery or not, to truly find peace and contentment? When we look at this inquiry through the lens of addiction and recovery, we learn so much about ourselves. Our minds are responsible for some of the problems that we encounter, but our minds also create the solutions. Thoughts lead to impressions, impressions lead to habits, and our habits determine how we act in this world. It’s only by taking action to change these habits that we can move forward into a greater state of awareness and presence. Tommy Discusses: Journey before destination Solutions for anxiety through forming healthier habits Shifting your focus from the symptom of a problem towards its solution The burden of shame Would you like to be a guest on the In The Circle Podcast?

107. Beyond The Struggle: The 12-Step Path to Joy with Herb K. 1:02:08

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, I’m sharing one of the most powerful conversations I’ve ever had with Herb K. Thanks to the 12 Steps, Herb has been free from alcohol since 1984. In 1988, he had a profound spiritual awakening. Since then, he’s dedicated himself to helping others sustain and expand their own awakening through recovery. Herb’s work goes beyond addiction—it’s about clarity, consciousness, and living your best life. We all struggle with something, whether it’s substances, relationships, food, technology, or money. I truly believe everyone would benefit from going through the 12-Step process at least once. It’s not a cure-all, but it lays the foundation for contentment, fulfillment, and freedom. Before we dive in, I want to acknowledge the universal relevance of this discussion. No matter where you are on your journey, there’s something here for you.

106. My Recovery Story: The Truth I’ve Never Shared Before 48:07

14 weeks ago48:07

48:07

This week’s episode of In The Circle is unlike any other because, for the first time, I’m sharing my personal story of recovery. It’s a journey filled with struggle, revelation, and transformation—one that has shaped every part of who I am today. Recovery is never a straight line, and looking back, I see how each moment, each fall, and each breakthrough led me here. My path began long before I took my first drink or drug. Addiction, I believe, is rooted in childhood, in the ways we learn to cope, seek approval, or escape discomfort. And when addiction took hold, it pulled me into a cycle that felt impossible to break. I hit rock bottom not once, but three times—two of them while in recovery. Sobriety wasn’t a simple fix; it was the beginning of an even deeper struggle. The 12 steps became both a guide and a mirror, forcing me to confront parts of myself I wanted to avoid. But it was in these moments—facing my pain head-on—that true healing began. And then, I found something that changed everything. Yoga and the wisdom of my teacher, Guru Prem, opened a door to a new way of being. Recovery became more than just staying sober; it became a path to real freedom.

In this week’s episode of In The Circle , I have the great honor of speaking with Pujya Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati Ji—a renowned spiritual leader, bestselling author, and motivational speaker based in Rishikesh, India. Sadhvi Ji is the author of Hollywood to the Himalayas: A Journey of Healing and Transformation and serves as the International Director of Parmarth Niketan, one of India’s largest spiritual institutions. She is also the Secretary General of the Global Interfaith WASH Alliance, dedicated to clean water and sanitation, and President of the Divine Shakti Foundation, which empowers women and children through education and vocational training. Additionally, she directs the International Yoga Festival at Parmarth Niketan, recognized globally and addressed by India's Prime Minister and Vice President. Beyond her leadership roles, Sadhvi Ji serves on the United Nations Advisory Council on Religion and contributes to global initiatives for poverty eradication and sustainable development. U.S. President Joe Biden honored her lifelong commitment to service with the Lifetime Achievement Award. Originally from Los Angeles and a Stanford graduate, she took sannyasa vows under her guru, His Holiness Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswati Ji, and has lived at Parmarth Niketan for 27 years. Kia and I have had the privilege of teaching at Parmarth for over a decade, and I am beyond grateful for this opportunity to speak with Sadhvi Ji today.

104. How Can I Stay Grounded When The World Feels So Uncertain? 32:59

In this week’s episode of In The Circle , I’m joined by Miriam who poses a deeply relevant inquiry: How Can I Stay Grounded When The World Feels So Uncertain? How do I navigate interactions with others amidst heightened emotions and uncertainty in the world? In a time when truth feels elusive and perspectives shift depending on the source, the power of discernment has never been more crucial. In times of upheaval, we must hold space for both grief and gratitude, recognizing that being present with what is allows us to respond rather than react. As we face societal shifts, including political change, it’s essential to remain anchored in the present. Beyond affiliations and opinions, our true alignment is with the here and now—a practice that calls for awareness, balance, and intentional action. How do we hold space for others while protecting our own peace? How do we discern what to take in and what to let go? Let’s explore these questions together and uncover the practices that help us navigate uncertain times with clarity and compassion. Tommy Discusses: Staying grounded amid uncertainty Maintaining a balance when interacting with the outside world The practice of yoga and meditation Responding vs reacting Would you like to be a guest on the In The Circle Podcast?

In this week’s episode of In The Circle , I’m delighted to speak with Scott Strode. Scott has been sober for over 25 years and is the Executive Director of The Phoenix, a transformational nonprofit he founded in 2006. The Phoenix is reshaping how society views addiction and recovery by harnessing the power of connection to create lasting change. The Phoenix offers free in-person and virtual programs worldwide, including yoga, climbing, music, CrossFit, art, and dance. The only cost to participate is 48 hours of sobriety. While an activity might draw someone in, Scott emphasizes that it’s the supportive community of sober friendships that keeps them coming back. Today, we’ll dive into how this spark of hope has helped thousands rise from addiction because the solution to the addiction crisis lives in all of us. Tommy Discusses: The role of physical activity in recovery Community is the thing that keeps people on the recovery path Is medication needed in recovery? How can we give back and help someone in need? Would you like to be a guest on the In The Circle Podcast?
