What if addiction isn’t a weakness? What if it’s showing you where you can reclaim your power?

In this episode, Lynn Coleman and Zach Ferguson discuss addiction and recovery. Zach, an addiction educator and self-led recoveree, has his own definition of addiction: the belief that external sources can provide fulfillment. It’s this belief that leads to feelings of powerlessness. And that keeps you stuck.

Zach shares his journey from addiction to recovery and he doesn’t hold back on talking about the highs or the lows. He sees addiction is a societal issue, not a personal moral failing. That’s because addiction is a survival mechanism triggered by unprocessed childhood trauma.

Zach advocates for viewing addiction as a gift - it’s showing us where we need to heal. He’s encouraging anyone with an addiction (and any of us with unhealthy habits) to redefine our relationship with the thing we ‘need’.

This episode isn’t just for people with addictions or who know people with addictions. It’s an invitation to redefine our relationship with ourselves and the outside world.

“Do you secretly believe money is ‘bad’?” Angela Tipton unpacks the hidden beliefs that could be sabotaging your future plans —and how to shift them.

In this episode, Angela Tipton, founder of Fire Your Career, discusses the concept of financial freedom and the importance of a positive money mindset with me. She explains how financial freedom allows you to choose how to spend your time, such as retiring early or pursuing new passions. Angela emphasizes how we need to challenge disempowering beliefs about money, like always spending whatever you earn or the idea that only selfish people have money.

We talk about the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement and the importance of saving and investing wisely (no matter what your age). Angela also shares her personal journey, including dealing with her health challenges, and gives us advice about self-help books and reflecting on personal goals, so we can achieve a powerful money mindset.

And as usual in Conversations About Power, we relate all of these topics to Angela’s vision on power and how it applies to her life.

In this episode, I share my experiences from a recent trip to Phoenix for a group coaching program with James Wedmore. I also share the stress of the run up to going - dealing with a lost cat, arranging for its care, and my Mum’s hospitalisation. Despite this, I managed to attend and enjoy the event, learning once again how important connection is, with myself and others. This is the main topic today - how social interactions reduced and changed during the pandemic and how much we need personal connections. Connecting with yourself in business and marketing is going to become increasingly important and the place to start that process is YOU.

Main Topics & Discussion

• Journey to Phoenix and Cat Rescue (0:00)
• Preparing for the Trip and Family Concerns (5:04)
• Experiences at the Event and Personal Reflections (7:03)
• Connecting with Others and Business Insights (12:09)
