Over and over and over and over in life, we get this opportunity.

And the opportunity is to make a choice.

And while it can be really complicated to think to ourselves, what is the right choice sometimes?

I feel like take the damn stairs is a good shortcut to just remembering it.

Welcome to the Ignited Recovery podcast.

A new way forward for anyone looking for answers but feeling left out.

If you've been searching for empowerment, triumph, and purpose, you've found them right here.

You won't hear the same solutions and you're not going to have any excuses to fall back on

because Ignited Recovery allows heroes to rise

and become their best selves. I'm Dr. Adi Jaffe, and I can't wait to be your guide on this

journey. Are you ready to become an ignited hero? I'm always looking for the simplest examples to convey relatively complicated concepts, always.

When I realized that the second words in each one of those were E-A-N-T, explore except transform, I was like, oh, we're just going to move to eat. E-A-T, eat.

The complicated concepts just don't make it easy for anyone.

So they're nice.

And then you put the book down, and you remember what, two, three things out of it. And if it's a really, if you really loved it, or if the book was really well written, then it named those things for you in a way that's really, really easy to understand. And remember, far, far later, because you're probably not having a fight in the middle of reading the book. And so this concept came up for me, probably a couple of weeks ago now. It was a principle that Sophie and I have been employing in a very literal way. You'll see why I say that here in a second for almost the entirety of our relationships,

about 18 years.

But I was doing it.

I was actually at the airport doing it.

And I said, this is such a simple metaphor for what I believe is a key to actually end up in the life that you
