Peter started drinking at 13, got sober at 22 on Block Island, Rhode Island, and has spent decades since helping people in recovery and corporate leadership see their stories through a completely different lens \u2014 one rooted in Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey model. In this episode, you'll learn:  How reframing your past can turn shame into your greatest superpower What the Hero's Journey model is and how it maps directly onto recovery Why comparison is a &quot;disease&quot; that disconnects us from ourselves and others How to use &quot;defense mechanisms that don't work anymore&quot; as your 4th step inventory The power of celebrating recovery milestones and daily wins Peter's daily armor-up practice: the sobriety coin, sunrise ritual, and 10th step Why willingness to be willing is itself a revolutionary act How the Prouty Project uses leadership development to build resilience in recovery   Action Items:   Write down one story from your past you've been carrying as shame. Ask: what strength did surviving that require?  Map your current challenge onto the Hero's Journey. Where are you on the road?  Practice disclosing one unexpressed expectation in a key relationship this week.  Add one small &quot;armoring up&quot; ritual to your morning.
