  I’m excited to welcome back Ian Morgan Cron to the show to discuss his new book, The Fix: How the Twelve Steps Offer a Surprising Path of Transformation for the Well-Adjusted, the Down-and-Out, and Everyone In Between. Ian is a bestselling author, psychotherapist, Enneagram expert, and host of the Typology podcast.

In this conversation, we cover: The Universal Nature of Addiction: Ian explains how addiction isn't limited to substances but extends to workaholism, social media, perfectionism, and more. He emphasizes that everyone is on the addiction continuum in some way. The Twelve Steps for Everyone: Ian walks us through how the Twelve Steps, originally written by Bill Wilson in 1939, serve as a framework for personal growth, self-awareness, and healing. Breaking Free from Destructive Patterns: Highlighting his own recovery journey, Ian shares how recognizing self-destructive behaviors and working the steps has transformed his life. The Power of Community in Healing: Ian discusses the importance of connection, support, and accountability in overcoming addiction and building a more fulfilling life. A Practical Guide to Transformation: The Fix isn’t just for those struggling with addiction—it’s a roadmap for anyone who wants to live with greater clarity, integrity, and joy. Ian also introduces The Fix Workbook, a companion guide to help readers apply the Twelve Steps to their own lives. Whether you’ve considered the Twelve Steps before or are hearing about them in a new light, The Fix offers a compelling case for why they can be life-changing for anyone.

• Melissa Urban on Boundaries, Empathy, and the New Whole30

  This week, I’m excited to welcome back Melissa Urban to the show to discuss her new book, The New Whole30: A Fresh Approach to Food and Life. Melissa Urban is the co-creator and CEO of the Whole30 program, a New York Times bestselling author, and a respected voice in the wellness community. Her new book reintroduces the Whole30 program with updates based on recent science and her personal evolution, making the program more inclusive, empathetic, and accessible. In this conversation, we cover: The Whole30 Framework: Melissa revisits the Whole30 as a 30-day elimination and reintroduction program designed to help individuals identify how foods affect their health and well-being. It’s not a diet or detox but a personalized tool to find your "food freedom." The Evolution of Whole30: Melissa explains the updates in the new book, including changes in tone and scientific understanding, as well as new accommodations for vegetarians, vegans, and plant-based eaters. Boundaries and Wellness: Drawing from her book The Book of Boundaries, Melissa explores the role of boundaries in improving relationships and mental health, showing how the Whole30 is a “boundary bootcamp” for better self-awareness and confidence. Emotional and Psychological Challenges: Melissa shares insights on navigating emotional attachments to food, managing social dynamics, and overcoming fears related to dietary changes. Her empathetic approach acknowledges these challenges while offering practical solutions. Why 30 Days Matters: The Whole30’s duration strikes a balance between accessibility and effectiveness, helping participants experience life-changing benefits in energy, sleep, digestion, and mental clarity, with a gradual reintroduction phase to solidify learnings.
