In this episode of The Kori Leigh Show podcast, I am digging into the importance of taking action as a prerequisite for feelings like faith, motivation, and gratitude, especially in the context of recovery. Reflecting on my journey through 12-step meetings and 7.8 years of sobriety, I share how embracing the steps in order, taking action even without immediate feelings, and living one day at a time led me to a richer spiritual connection and a fulfilling life.  I get asked about how I've learned that present-focused living, daily actions, and seeking God's will are essential to achieving the emotional and spiritual growth I sought for years in this episode. I am sharing that answer with you.   Books Mentioned:  Recovery by Russel Brand Breathing Underwater by Richard Rohr  Connect with Me on Instagram  @korileigh | @korileigh.co    If you enjoyed this episode please share with someone you love, leave a rating & review, and follow so you are notified when a new episode drops!   If you are in search of the steps towards recovery check out www.aa.org
