On this week’s episode of In The Circle, we’re joined by Mariana, who brings us an impactful inquiry: How Can I Maintain Healthy Boundaries While Being of Service in Recovery?

We often read in spiritual scriptures that we are meant to give without expectation. Yet, as humans in relationships, we recognize that boundaries are essential, especially in recovery.

Spiritual and religious teachings often compare service to an express train for personal and spiritual growth. While giving and serving are fundamental aspects of recovery, it’s important to understand that setting healthy boundaries not only prevents burnout but also allows us to continue giving sustainably.

I often say that ‘service is where the action is’, but what does it truly mean to be of service? How can we differentiate between serving authentically and serving in a codependent way?

In this episode, we’ll dive deep into what it means to be of service and explore how to help others without giving too much of yourself away.

Tommy Discusses:

• Being of service in the present moment
• Giving from a place of wholeness and authenticity without losing yourself
• Creating healthy boundaries
• What it truly means to be of service
• Helping others while letting go of the outcome

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, I am honored to connect with Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith, founder and CEO of Agape International Spiritual Center, a renowned trans-denominational community in Los Angeles.

With thousands of local members and global live streamers, Agape is celebrated for its cultural, racial, and spiritual inclusivity. The late Coretta Scott King once praised Dr. Beckwith, saying, "I greatly admire what you are doing to bring about the beloved community," echoing the legacy of her late husband, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Dr. Beckwith is widely known for his teachings on inner transformation and unity, offering a practical approach to spirituality through meditation, affirmative prayer, and his Life Visioning process. This spiritual technology empowers individuals to evolve, live authentically, and fulfill their purpose consciously.

His teachings help integrate inner peace and awakened awareness into everyday life, making him a sought-after meditation teacher, conference speaker, and seminar leader, having addressed audiences at the UN General Assembly, TEDx Maui, and Oprah Winfrey's Super Soul Sunday.

Addiction is part of everyone’s journey, but recovery is not. The Recovery 2.0 Membership is a place where you can explore the topics that interest you, find community, and connect with Tommy Rosen on a personal level. It’s here that we’ll dig into...

On this week’s episode of In The Circle, we are joined by Rosie, who brings a relevant and powerful inquiry for our consideration: How can I quickly regulate my emotions and ground myself, so I don't get lost in the story my mind creates?

This is a deeply relevant inquiry—who hasn’t found themselves trapped by the narratives they carry in their mind? It’s all too common to become our own biggest triggers, getting swept away by our thoughts and emotions.

Recovery, however, is more than abstinence. It’s about moving beyond the limiting stories that keep us stuck and discovering new ways of thinking that empower us. It’s the process of letting go of old, unhelpful stories and embracing ones that enhance our connection to truth, power, love, and life itself.

By rewriting our stories, we can open the door to deeper healing and a more authentic, fulfilling existence.

Tommy Discusses:

• How to disrupt negative emotions
• How to reframe the narratives that keep you stuck
• Your thoughts hold no power over you
• How the mind and breath are connected
• You are not your thoughts and emotions
