ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Recovery isn’t a montage. In this Recovery Month episode, Antonio Matta names the Paradox of Control and the quiet shift toward nonlinear, pace-yourself healing—then models a brief “Dear Day-One Me” note and walks through five 10-minute neuroplasticity tools (Timer, Tactile, Breath, Words, Walk) you can use today.
