28. Burn the Boats Behind You

Welcome to another episode of the Unhooked podcast, the place to learn how to break free from compulsive behaviors and bad habits, so that you can create the life you want.

In this episode, I talk about one of my favorite metaphors and strategies for committing yourself to your recovery. It's known as the concept of Burning the boats (and also known as Throwing your hat over the fence). Check out the episode to learn how you can implement this strategy in your own life. 

I hope this episode helps you make massive progress on your goals and dreams in 2023 and beyond. If you found this episode helpful, please let me know by leaving a review! I would love to hear from you.
