In addiction recovery and healing, the small, consistent habits matter more than the big breakthroughs. In this episode I share the underrated “boring” tools, like sleep routines, hydration, movement, breathing, and daily check-ins, that keep you grounded when life feels overwhelming. Whether you’re in addiction recovery or supporting a loved one, learn why these unsexy but powerful practices are the real MVPs of mental health.

If you have any questions, please let me know. Sending everyone happy and healthy vibes,

Laura
