Today my guest is Phillip Andrew Barbb, 2x Emmy nominated producer, Author and Performance Coach. Phillip joins me today to share his recovery story, insights and wisdom from 15 years of sobriety, and so many things I can’t even list them all! This is by far one of the longest conversations I’ve had to date, but he was saying so many good things, we just kept it flowing!     But before we jump in, I wanted to give you a sneak peek into one of our upcoming guests that I just interviewed today.   Britt Frank is the author of “The Science of Stuck: Breaking through Inertia to find your path forward” One of the many tips she gives is to NOT use metaphors when describing your situation. For instance if you feel overwhelmed, don't say “My life is a dumpster fire!” because your brain will trigger your nervous system into fight, flight, or freeze response.    Instead, list the specific things you have to do, then break that list down into tiny little micro steps, pick one, and do it! This makes sense to me because what I know for sure, is mood follows action. Once we start taking tiny little micro steps, we can start building momentum and make forward progress. I’m really excited to publish that one, so be sure to come back for that one!   I hope you enjoy this week’s episode with Phillip, so without further delay, let’s get into it!
