Have you ever found yourself grasping for a quick fix—work, food, social media, or endless productivity—to ease the discomfort of life? What if true healing and freedom don't come from trying harder, but from surrendering more deeply?

In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, host Gem Fadling sits down with Ian Morgan Cron—bestselling author, psychotherapist, Enneagram teacher, and Episcopal priest—to talk about his new book, The Fix. This fresh and deeply personal exploration of the Twelve Steps goes far beyond addiction recovery. It's an invitation for all of us to embrace a more honest, grace-filled, and spiritually awake life.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, tired of surface-level fixes, or longing for true transformation, this conversation will meet you right where you are—and gently invite you to something deeper.

🌿 Key Topics Include:


Uncovering our hidden addictions and coping mechanisms


Why surrender—not willpower—is the true beginning of change


The wisdom and grace of the Twelve Steps


How shame gets in the way of healing, and how grace restores


Building spiritual "muscle memory" through daily practices


A path to healing that integrates therapy, spirituality, and real-life transformation

🎧 Listen in for a conversation that might just be the invitation your soul has been waiting for.
