Doing The Work: A Naples Integrated Recovery Podcast

Doing The Work: A Naples Integrated Recovery Podcast focuses on the patterns that keep people stuck — the ones that show up in conversations, relationships, habits, and everyday decisions.

This isn’t theory and it isn’t motivation. Each episode breaks down what’s actually happening underneath the surface: avoidance, control, people-pleasing, resentment, emotional shutdown, and the ways people stay busy instead of changing anything.

Hosted by Brian Granneman, LMHC, CAP, CCTP, the show pulls from real clinical experience to track how these patterns form, how they get reinforced, and what it looks like to interrupt them in real time. Topics include trauma, addiction cycles, relationship dynamics, boundaries, and the quieter behaviors that don’t get labeled but still run the show.

The focus stays on behavior, not insight. Change doesn’t come from understanding the problem — it comes from what you do next.

Why we cave under social pressure, why it feels so hard to say no, and how oversensitivity to shame keeps you stuck in patterns you don’t actually believe in. This episode breaks down the psychological side of people-pleasing, boundary setting, and trusting your instincts — using real-life examples and practical skills to get better at standing your ground without becoming harsh or detached.
This is also my first recorded, roughest episode -- recorded with a webcam mic and absolutely no idea what I was doing. It stays, as proof of "do it messy" to get it started and learn how to start to perfect your craft down the road.

In this "first" episode, I talk about why I create at all — why I write, record, reflect, and share, even if only ten people ever see or hear it. I unpack a previous mentor's, “Who’s your audience?” and the quiet sting behind it, and explain why the work itself matters more than reach, recognition, or applause. This episode explores how creating helps me stay aligned, metabolize my own experiences, and keep my recovery active rather than passive.
I also share who this podcast is actually for: people navigating trauma, emotions, relationships, stress, old patterns, and the internal wiring we’re all trying to make sense of. People who sit between frameworks — therapy, self-help, spirituality, recovery — and want something grounded, honest, and integrated. Episode 1 sets the foundation for the entire show: doing the work for alignment, clarity, and growth, regardless of audience size.
