In this episode of Conversations with Bizzy, I’m back from my European adventure and sharing all the reflections that came with it—about faith, relationships, marriage, and the joy of coming home. Walking through Europe reminded me how present God is in every moment, and how saying “yes” to new experiences can lead to deep transformation. I talk about how travel renewed my spirit, strengthened my connection to my husband, and even helped me show up more powerfully as a coach. If you’re looking for a little inspiration, some spiritual encouragement, or just a reminder that you’re never walking alone—this episode is for you.
Tune in for a conversation full of heart, honesty, and a reminder that it’s never too late to change your story.

What do Lake Como, a stomach bug, and a Franciscan confessional have in common? Apparently… everything! In this episode, Bizzy shares the highs of magical Lake Como, the holiness of Assisi, and the unexpected spiritual freedom that came through getting sick and slowing down. With a heart wide open and a little less on her stomach, she reflects on the power of stillness, forgiveness, and the beautiful truth that letting go leads to peace.

Hey there, Bizzy Bees! Welcome to episode 555 of Conversations with Bizzy! I’m your host, Elizabeth Chance, and this one’s gonna hit you right in the heart. I’m sitting down with the incredible Kendall Lashay Williams, the voice behind Moms True Tea, for a raw, real talk about the rollercoaster of motherhood—especially when it comes to the gut-wrenching reality of estrangement from your kids. We’re diving deep into the emotional weight of feeling disconnected, the way social media can make parenting feel like a lonely battlefield, and why setting boundaries is a game-changer for your mental health. Kendall opens up about her own journey—facing emotional abuse, battling cervical cancer, and how those experiences sparked her powerful podcast. We’re also unpacking the importance of community, rediscovering who you are outside of “mom,” and how spirituality can light the way to healing. Plus, we’ll explore how cultural shifts and tech are reshaping parenting and kids’ behavior. Trust me, you don’t want to miss this inspiring, soul-stirring convo—grab your tea, get cozy, and let’s dive in!
Tune in for laughter, truth bombs, and a whole lot of hope.

Hi everybody — it’s Bizzy, and I’m checking in from Europe! In this episode, I’m taking you along as we hop from Barcelona to Milan — and let me tell you, this trip has been full of surprises, lessons, and a whole lot of walking (in the wrong shoes, of course).
From navigating jet lag and cultural shifts to wandering into jaw-dropping churches that made me feel God’s presence right there in the room… this journey has been one for the books. I’m talking about real connection, unexpected spiritual moments, and how sobriety lets me experience it all with so much clarity.
I’m also sharing why traveling without a tour guide is so freeing, how important it is to be patient (especially with your husband 😉), and the little ways I’m keeping grounded — like drinking water, dressing light, and staying in the moment.
This isn’t about perfect vacations or curated Instagram posts — it’s about being real, being present, and feeling joy in the most unexpected places. Come along for the ride!

This episode is pure joy! I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Grace— who found me on YouTube (how cool is that?) and felt a connection that led to this beautiful conversation. Grace didn’t choose ministry; it chose her. Born to Italian immigrant parents, her faith journey was shaped by culture, family, and a whole lot of heart.
She opened up about overcoming her fear of public speaking through faith (yes, miracles do happen!) and how she started retreats to bring teens into the light of spirituality. Grace’s mom, once lost in depression, found community and joy through her local parish—and it deeply impacted Grace's path.
We talk about the healing masses that completely changed her understanding of what faith really is, and how even in moments of doubt—especially during tough times in the Church—Grace kept her eyes on Jesus.
And then there’s Medjugorje. Oh, my goodness… Grace shares her awe-inspiring experience of this holy place that feels like heaven on earth. She reminds us that Mary sees our hearts and hears every single one of our prayers. That God is closest when we feel the farthest. That joy is possible—even in the hardest moments.
This conversation is a reminder to look for the little things. They matter. Faith is alive. And young people are hearing the call. God is moving—right here, right now.
So, let’s bring it to everything and everyone. Because love like this? It’s meant to be shared.

Hey everybody, it’s Bizzy! In today’s episode, I’m back behind the mic and back to coaching — and wow, it feels so good. I’m sharing what it’s like to return to something that lights me up, how I’m showing up differently in my marriage, and what I’ve learned about making time for what really matters.
My husband and I are heading to Europe soon, and I talk about how travel can be the best kind of reset — for your soul and your relationships. I also get honest about fear, growth, and how we can all build the life we want — no matter our age or where we’re starting from.
This episode is for anyone who needs a little nudge to live bigger, love harder, and say YES to what’s calling you. You’ve got the tools. You’ve got the power. Let’s go! 💛✈️🌍

This week, I’m sharing a little life update straight from the heart — my daughter just graduated, and wow… what a weekend!
From all the celebration and amazing friends to the emotional curveballs (hello, real talk about identity, growth, and family dynamics), this episode is all about navigating the highs and the “whoa, I didn’t see that coming” moments of life.
I talk about what it feels like to let go, show up, and trust that love — and prayer — really can carry us through the uncertain parts. I even had a surprise moment with my son and his wife that reminded me: joy is always waiting if your heart is open.
Whether you're a parent, in transition, or just figuring it all out one day at a time… this one’s for you. 💙
💡 Key Takeaways:
- 🎓 Milestones like graduation can bring both joy and emotional reflection.
- 💞 Supporting your children sometimes means choosing love over full understanding.
- 🙏 Prayer and surrender are powerful tools for peace.
- 🤝 Community matters — we’re not meant to do life alone.
- 🌱 Family differences can lead to personal and spiritual growth.
- 💬 Emotional tools like honesty, acceptance, and grace are essential.
- 💫 Joy is possible, even in uncertain times — if we’re open to it.
- 🌍 Life is about connection — with God, with each other, and with ourselves.

In this episode of Conversations with Bizzy, I sit down with the insightful and inspiring John Brewer—someone who has walked the winding road of addiction, found faith, and now lives with purpose, joy, and deep spiritual connection.
John opens up about his battle with alcoholism, how childhood pain and a near-miss DUI became a turning point, and the powerful role Alcoholics Anonymous played in his transformation. But that’s just the beginning. What truly lit him up was discovering a higher power that led him straight into the heart of the Catholic Church.
We laugh, we reflect, and we dive deep into what it really means to live an authentic life—grounded in faith, service, and self-discovery. John shares how the Mass became his form of meditation, why confession brought unexpected freedom, and how helping others has become his mission.
We talk about everything from the power of sponsorship to the beauty of spiritual literature, and how sobriety and faith are truly soulmates on this journey. If you’re curious about how science, God, and recovery all intertwine—or just want to hear an uplifting story of redemption and hope—this episode is for you.
Tune in for a conversation full of heart, honesty, and a reminder that it’s never too late to change your story.

In this episode, I’m sharing how saying yes changed my life—and how it can change yours too. I open up about what it’s like to let go of fear, stop overthinking, and lean fully into faith. From unexpected trips to deep friendships and wild blessings I never saw coming, I’ve learned that trusting God opens doors no one else can.
Life is short. Fear is loud. But faith? Faith is louder. I’m here to remind you that you don’t need all the answers—you just need the courage to say yes.
Takeaways:
- Saying yes creates space for new adventures and relationships
- Fear is a liar—we miss out when we let it lead
- Faith lights the way through uncertainty
- Overthinking keeps us stuck; action sets us free
- Trusting God invites miracles into our lives
- Even the hard stuff helps us grow
- Encouraging others to say yes sparks transformation
- Travel and change of scenery can shift your whole perspective
- Life feels lighter and richer when we live in faith, not fear
Life is short—so enjoy the ride, one day at a time.

In this episode, I sit down with my husband on Mother’s Day to talk about something that many of us face but few of us openly discuss—family dysfunction and estrangement. We open up about our own experiences and how men and women often process emotions so differently. We touch on how social media paints a picture-perfect version of family life that just isn't real, and how easy it is to fall into comparison or a victim mindset. This conversation is about getting honest, leaning on faith, and remembering that we can only control our own actions. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s a reminder that you’re not alone.
Life is short—so enjoy the ride, one day at a time.

In today’s episode, I’m getting real about transitions—the ones we see coming, and the ones that sneak up on us. With the conclave starting today, I couldn’t help but think about what it means to be in that sacred in-between space.
Whether it’s becoming a parent, watching your kids grow up, or suddenly finding yourself an empty nester—change is never easy. And let’s be honest, the middle? It’s messy. It’s uncertain. It’s quiet. And it can feel incredibly lonely.
But it’s also where healing begins.
It’s where we rediscover who we are.
It’s where God shows up in the stillness.
If you’re navigating a transition right now, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about identity, self-care, faith, and why you are never alone in your journey.
✨ Takeaways:
- The conclave is a powerful reminder of spiritual and personal transition.
- The “in-between” isn’t bad—it’s where growth happens.
- Parenting changes, everything changes, but so does letting go.
- Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s survival.
- Your identity doesn’t end when your kids move out.
- Silence is where you hear God and find yourself again.
- Trusting God in the unknown brings peace.
- You don’t have to have all the answers—just take the next right step.
- Healing happens in stillness.
- You’re never alone—there’s grace in the middle.
Life is short—so enjoy the ride, one day at a time.

In this heartfelt and honest conversation, I sit down with my husband (yes—I’m his third!) to talk all about marriage, faith, and what it really takes to grow together. We get real about the ups and downs, how our spiritual journey has deepened our bond, and why it's so hard—but so necessary—for men to open up emotionally.
We also talk about the importance of forgiveness, not just towards others, but towards ourselves. And we don’t shy away from the hard stuff—like how community and faith play a huge role in healing and transformation, especially for men who often feel like they have to keep it all inside.
If you’ve ever felt like starting over is impossible, or wondered if real connection is still possible in today’s world—this one’s for you.

Takeaways:
- Endings are often the beginning of something better.
- Healing happens when we unpack our emotional baggage with patience.
- The present moment is where peace lives.
- We are not defined by what we own.
- Growth comes from both our wins and our stumbles.
- Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s essential.
- Trusting in something bigger helps us find our way.
- Parenting means learning to let go with love.
- Change is uncomfortable—but necessary for becoming who we’re meant to be.
- Life is short—so enjoy the ride, one day at a time.

As you all know, I’m always posting content — and lately, I've been sharing more about my journey back to Catholicism. Well, that journey brought a beautiful new friend into my life: Grace.
She called me out of the blue, and of course, I called her right back! I truly believe God placed her in my life. She is loving, kind, supportive, and a real blessing.
When the Pope passed away, I knew in my heart that I wanted to have a priest on my podcast. I reached out to several priests with no luck. So, I called Grace and asked, "Do you know any priests who might come on my podcast?" She said, "I'll reach out to Father Jeff Pomeisl — but no promises!"
Well, Grace made the call... and Father Jeff reached out to me! 🙏 I’m beyond excited to share our conversation with you today.
God is so good — always working behind the scenes!
Today we dive into:
• The challenges of navigating relationships while answering God's call
• The importance of confession, the rosary, and acts of kindness
• The current state of the Catholic Church and Pope Francis’s controversial views
• Compassionate approaches to issues like abortion, same-sex marriage, and immigration
• Spiritual clarity in confusing times and the hope found through prayer, community, and faith
We also talk about big questions like:
• How does the conclave work after a pope passes?
• Why prayer matters so much in marriage
• How purgatory and healing families are central to Catholic spirituality
This conversation is full of faith, hope, and heart — and I hope it fills you up as much as it did for me. 💛

In today’s episode of Conversations with Bizzy, I’m getting real about my spiritual journey—what led me away from the Catholic Church and, ultimately, what brought me back. I share stories from my childhood, my time exploring other denominations, and the comfort I’ve found in rituals like the rosary. With everything going on in the world, I believe now more than ever we need clarity, forgiveness, and hope.
This is a heart-centered episode about finding peace, embracing your path, and trusting that God is always there—even when life feels confusing.

This is a throwback episode with Father Dan Reehil, recorded back in November 2024—just after the election and before I rebranded Busy Living Sober to Conversations with Bizzy. The timing may have changed, but the message is timeless.
We talked about staying grounded in faith when the world feels upside down, and how to discern what’s real, what matters, and how God calls us to live with purpose.
Takeaways:
– How faith anchors us in uncertain times
– The power of spiritual discernment
– Why putting God first brings peace
– Navigating noise and fear with truth and love
This one’s real, honest, and full of light. I hope it blesses you today.

Hey friends! In today’s episode of Conversations with Bizzy, I’m sharing straight from the heart. It’s Holy Wednesday, and I’m reflecting on my journey through Lent, the lessons I’ve learned about forgiveness (especially self-forgiveness!), and how my relationship with God continues to grow.
I open up about some of my habits—yes, even shopping during Lent—and how they’ve become little signposts on this path of self-discovery. We dive into why communication and connection matter so much, especially in today’s world. And I talk about the joy of being back to coaching—what a gift it is to walk alongside others as they find their own freedom and happiness.
If you’ve ever struggled with letting go, or just need a little encouragement today, this episode is for you. We’re all on a journey, and it’s never too late to start fresh.
💛 Takeaways:
- Sometimes our everyday habits are the best teachers.
- Forgiveness—especially of ourselves—is the key to peace.
- Faith and real relationships are what carry us through.
- Coaching is about connection, support, and transformation.
- You don’t have to walk through life alone. Help is always out there.

In today’s episode of Conversations with Bizzy, I sit down with Mary D’Angelo, a cybersecurity expert with an incredible story. Mary opens up about growing up in a big Italian family and how her roots, life experiences, and faith journey all played a part in leading her to the world of cybersecurity.
We dive into everything from staying strong in your faith in today’s chaotic world, to how AI is influencing beliefs and mindsets without us even realizing it. Mary shares real-world advice on cybersecurity — including how social engineering attacks target human emotions, why VPNs are important (but not a cure-all), and how even the best parental controls can be outsmarted by tech-savvy kids.
She also shares her personal journey back to Catholicism after a difficult breakup, showing how life’s challenges can sometimes bring us back to our spiritual center. We talk about the complexities of Catholic teachings, the comfort spirituality can bring during tough times, and how relationships often shift as we deepen our faith.
Throughout the conversation, Mary reminds us that personal responsibility — whether in faith, relationships, or protecting ourselves online — is more important now than ever.
From understanding the risks of the dark web, to seeing how cultural identity shapes who we become, this episode is full of lessons for navigating today’s digital — and spiritual — landscape with strength and awareness.

In today’s episode, I’m diving into the complicated world of gaslighting — what it looks like, how it’s shown up in my life, and how I’ve learned to recognize and overcome it. I’m sharing personal experiences and the lessons they’ve taught me about living authentically, trusting myself, and moving past shame. We’ll talk about the role faith has played in my journey, why community support is so important, and how childhood experiences can shape the choices we make as adults. My hope is that today’s conversation reminds you that you’re not alone — and that living your truth, even in a judgmental world, is not only possible but essential. Let’s walk this journey together!

In this unforgettable episode of Conversations with Bizzy, your host Elizabeth Chance sits down with the brilliant and brave Carrie Sheffield—award-winning journalist, policy expert, and author of the powerful memoir The Motorhome Prophecies. Carrie shares her jaw-dropping journey from a deeply traumatic and chaotic childhood to a life rooted in purpose, healing, and unshakable faith.
This conversation is about what happens when we stop running and start facing the truth—our past, our pain, our patterns. Carrie opens up about growing up in a motorhome under the rule of a religiously addicted father, navigating the darkness of generational trauma, and ultimately finding her way to healing through grace, forgiveness, and a strong relationship with God.
Together, Carrie and Bizzy go deep into topics like the danger of religious addiction, the courage it takes to walk away from toxic environments, and how comparison is a joy-killer. They talk about what it means to get off autopilot and do the hard (but holy!) work of changing from the inside out. This isn’t just a story of survival—it’s one of total transformation, spiritual awakening, and stepping into your God-given worth.
Carrie’s story is proof that we can stop the cycle, break the curse, and rise up. With humor, heart, and deep insight, this episode is a beautiful reminder that God is love, healing is possible, and we are never alone on the path to freedom.
🧠 Takeaways:
- Trauma doesn’t define you—healing is possible.
- Faith can carry you through the darkest valleys.
- Forgiveness is freedom (even if it’s a solo act).
- Comparison steals joy—don’t let it.
- God is bigger than any addiction, any pattern, any past.
- Generational curses can be broken with courage and awareness.
- You deserve a life full of peace, purpose, and love.

In this week’s episode, I sit down with the incredibly inspiring Elizabeth Kipp, a woman whose story is nothing short of miraculous. Elizabeth opens up about her battle with chronic pain, her journey through addiction, and the long road to recovery that led her to a place of deep healing and peace.
We talk about what it’s like to feel dismissed by traditional medicine, how she found real relief through alternative healing practices, and why spirituality—and especially prayer—was a game-changer for her. Elizabeth shares how ancestral trauma and pain can follow us through generations, but also how we can break the cycle with awareness, intention, and support.
She gets real about the importance of self-talk, the power of community, and how she ultimately learned to trust her body’s ability to heal. And we dig into her powerful book, written from the heart for anyone who has ever felt trapped by chronic pain.
If you’ve ever struggled with physical pain, emotional wounds, or the feeling that doctors just don’t get it, this episode is for you. Elizabeth reminds us that healing is possible—and that we’re never alone on the journey.

🎧 Episode Description:
In this episode, it’s just me—Bizzy—and I’m talking about how tennis (yes, tennis!) helped reconnect me with joy, authenticity, and the power of community. I reflect on my journey of personal growth and how showing up—even when I’m unsure—has brought unexpected transformation.
I share what it’s like to embrace the gifts God gave me, to stop hiding behind fear, and to remember that isolation only feeds disconnection. Whether you’re feeling a little lost or just need a reminder that you’re not alone, I’m here to tell you: your true self is enough—and you’re exactly where you need to be.
💡 Takeaways:
- Going to events like tennis matches can rejuvenate your spirit.
- Authenticity allows for deeper, more meaningful connections.
- Sometimes “faking it” leads to discovering your true self.
- Embracing your individuality is honoring the gift God gave you.
- Isolation can hold you back from growth and connection.
- Community is essential—especially in recovery.
- The journey to self-love takes time, patience, and grace.
- Faith can offer strength, peace, and direction.
- Facing your fears can open the door to freedom.
- A mindset of gratitude can change everything.

Are you holding onto the past, chasing external validation, or feeling stuck in comparison mode? It’s time to break free! In this episode, I get real about the power of living in the present, embracing change, and finding happiness from within—no strings (or stuff!) attached.
I dive into the transformative mindset of less is more and shares how letting go of the unnecessary—whether it’s old regrets, toxic comparisons, or material distractions—creates space for true joy. This is your wake-up call to trust the process, own your journey, and love yourself fully.
Key Takeaways:
✨ Embrace today—the past is over, and the future isn’t promised.
✨ Happiness is an inside job—it’s not about what you have, but who you are.
✨ Self-discovery never stops—growth is uncomfortable but necessary.
✨ Less is more—simplify your life and focus on what truly matters.
✨ Comparison steals joy—stay in your lane and celebrate your progress.
✨ Love yourself first—because the right people will follow.
✨ Gratitude fuels hope—appreciate today, and trust that tomorrow will unfold as it should.

In this episode, I’m sharing my personal journey through Lent—what I learned last year, how the Hallow app played a role in deepening my faith, and why I believe trusting our own intuition is so important. We don’t need gimmicks or external devices to make us okay—God has already given us everything we need inside. I’ll talk about how Lent can be a time of real transformation, not just giving something up for the sake of it. I’ll also dive into the impact of technology on our relationships and why being present is more powerful than any app or trend.

Takeaways:
- Lent is more than just giving something up—it’s a time for real personal and spiritual transformation.
- Finding the right spiritual practices is a personal journey. What works for one person might not work for another, and that’s okay.
- Trusting in God and our own intuition can lead to unexpected opportunities and a deeper sense of peace.
- Technology can be a distraction, keeping us from being truly present with God and our loved ones.
- Change can be uncomfortable, but embracing it leads to growth.
- Hearing other people's stories can inspire us to make changes in our own lives.
- I’ve learned to stop apologizing for my beliefs and to stand firm in my faith.
- Taking time for quiet reflection—without distractions—has been one of the most powerful parts of my spiritual journey.
- Life is full of possibilities, and we always have the choice to trust in God’s plan.
- No matter what, we are never alone—God is always with us.

I’m Elizabeth Chance, host of Conversations with Bizzy, and I’m so excited to dive into the upcoming season of Lent!
In this episode, I reflect on what Lent truly means—beyond just giving something up. It’s about growth, commitment, and deepening our connection with God. I share my own journey of self-discovery, the power of humility, and the beauty of embracing who we truly are.
Lent isn’t about punishment—it’s a gift. A chance to reset, reflect, and strengthen our faith. So, what are you giving up? More importantly, what are you willing to give to God? Let’s walk this journey together!
Takeaways:
- Lent is a time for personal reflection and growth.
- Giving something up can lead to deeper spiritual fulfillment.
- Humility isn’t about thinking less of yourself but thinking of yourself less.
- We’re never as alone as we feel—community is key.
- Self-acceptance is part of the journey to true peace.
- Sobriety has given me the clarity to embrace who I really am.
- God's love is greater than any shame we carry.
- Imperfections make us human—let’s embrace them!
- Lent is an opportunity, not an obligation.
- Surrounding ourselves with supportive people makes all the difference.

In this episode of Conversations with Bizzy, I’m sharing all about my son’s engagement party—what a beautiful, drama-free, and joy-filled celebration it was! The weather was spectacular, the energy was amazing, and the best part? No chaos. No one got crazy. My ex-husband, my husband, and I were all there—all sober—and it really got me thinking about how sobriety has changed not just my life, but the example I’ve set for my kids.
I’ll be talking about:
- How sobriety has transformed the way I show up for my family.
- The shift I see in younger generations and their relationship with alcohol.
- Why life doesn’t have to be traumatic or chaotic to be memorable.
- The power of trusting God and knowing it’s all going to work out.
Sobriety has given me so many gifts—being present, celebrating milestones without regret, and truly living in the moment. If I were still drinking, I wouldn’t be here, reaching my goals, creating these incredible memories. And here’s the truth: faith and fear can’t exist in the same moment.
Join me as I dive into the beauty of celebrating without alcohol, embracing joy, and trusting the process. It’s time to celebrate them, not me!

Hey everyone, welcome back to Conversations with Bizzy! In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with MJ Gottlieb, the co-founder of the Lucid app — a fantastic platform that’s creating a safe space for sober individuals to date, connect, and thrive.
MJ’s been sober for almost 13 years, and hearing his story was so inspiring. We talked about the challenges of dating in recovery, the stigma that still surrounds sobriety, and how Lucid is helping break down those barriers by supporting a community where authenticity and meaningful connections can flourish.
What really struck me was MJ’s passion for building a space that prioritizes both safety and inclusivity. With over 160,000 members in the sober dating section alone, Lucid is making waves. He shared some amazing success stories of people finding love — it was so heartwarming.
I also learned about the complexities of building a dating app (way more than I realized!), especially when it comes to creating a user-friendly experience while keeping the community safe and verified. It’s clear MJ and his team are deeply committed to protecting and empowering the sober community.
Here’s What We Covered:
- MJ’s personal journey with nearly 13 years of sobriety
- Why he started Lucid and how it’s supporting the sober community.
- The rising popularity of niche dating apps
- How sobriety stigma can hold people back from finding love
- The importance of safety and verification on the Lucid platform
- Heartwarming stories of real-life matches
I loved this conversation and I think you will too. Whether you're sober yourself, curious about niche dating apps, or just love hearing inspiring stories, there’s something here for everyone.
Thanks for listening and remember — love and connection are always possible, especially when we show up as our authentic selves.Bottom of Form

Hey everyone, welcome back to Conversations with Bizzy! Today, I’m reflecting on something near and dear to my heart — Valentine’s Day. Having celebrated 56 of them, I’ve seen this holiday through so many different lenses: from the childhood excitement of exchanging little cards at school, to the pressures and complexities of adult relationships.
Valentine’s Day can bring up a lot of emotions — joy, love, sometimes even loneliness or frustration. But one thing I’ve learned over the years is that love shows up in many forms, not just in romantic relationships.
I also share a bit of history about how Valentine’s Day evolved from ancient rituals to the holiday we know today, complete with chocolates, roses, and sometimes, a little stress! But whether you're partnered, single, or somewhere in between, this day can be a beautiful reminder to celebrate all kinds of love — love for family, friends, and most importantly, yourself.
Here’s What We Chat About:
- How Valentine’s Day has changed for me over the years
- Childhood memories of inclusive Valentine's traditions
- Why adult Valentine’s Day can sometimes feel performative or pressured
- The importance of staying hopeful and open-minded when searching for love
- How patience and resilience can lead to meaningful connections
- Why love is not just about romance — it’s about connection in all forms
This episode is really about embracing love in its many shapes and sizes and reminding ourselves that connection is always possible. So whether you're spending this Valentine's Day with a partner, family, friends, or just treating yourself, I hope this conversation encourages you to appreciate all the love in your life.
Thanks for listening, and Happy Valentine’s Day, my friends! ❤️

What does it really mean to be successful? In this inspiring episode, Joseph Marino shares his powerful journey of sobriety, healing, and self-discovery. From breaking free of societal expectations to finding peace beyond the chaos of addiction, Joseph reflects on the challenges he faced, the evolution of his marriage, and the importance of rigorous honesty in building meaningful relationships.
He talks about leaving behind a high-stress corporate career to pursue a life centered on authenticity, health, and inner peace — even when it meant stepping into uncertainty. Joseph shares how faith and a blue rosary became guiding symbols of strength and trust in the journey.
If you’re on your own journey of healing, growth, or searching for inner peace, this episode offers wisdom, encouragement, and the reminder that you are never alone.
Here are a few key takeaways from Joseph’s experience:
· Authenticity is essential for personal growth.
· Sobriety may feel uncomfortable at first, but it leads to peace and clarity.
· Friendships can shift when you get sober, but that’s a natural part of the process.
· Communication is key to maintaining healthy relationships, especially during recovery.
· Rigorous honesty fosters trust and deeper connections.
· Transitioning careers can be challenging but leads to self-discovery.
· Community support is crucial for healing.
· Prioritizing health and inner peace over material success brings lasting fulfillment.
· Courage is essential when making life changes.
· Spiritual symbols can provide comfort and guidance.
My hope is that by sharing Joseph’s journey, others will find the courage to embrace their own uniqueness, trust in the process of recovery, and know they are never alone. We all have the potential for incredible beauty and growth.

Hey, it’s Bizzy! 🦅 This episode is all about emotions, sports, and the beautiful chaos of life. With the Super Bowl right around the corner, I’m beyond excited and cheering loud for the Eagles! (Fly, Eagles, Fly!) But beyond the game, I’m diving into something deeper:
💡 Feelings aren't facts. Trust me, I’ve had to learn this lesson the hard way. I talk about how society sends us all these mixed messages that mess with our heads and why having a strong connection to family and community makes all the difference.
I also introduce one of my favorite tools for checking your emotional state—HALT: Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired. It’s wild how much those little things can throw us off balance.
Plus, I share simple tips like moving a muscle or shifting your thoughts to break out of negative spirals.
Most importantly, I want you to know: You are never alone.
I’d love to hear your thoughts—whether it’s about the game, life, or how you're navigating challenges. Reach out and let’s keep this conversation going.

In this episode, I talk about my journey of personal growth, sharing the ups and downs of dealing with unsolicited advice, judgment, and how we see ourselves. Life has a way of throwing challenges our way, but I’ve learned that these moments often hold the biggest lessons if we’re willing to embrace them.
Let’s be real—unsolicited advice can be annoying. But I’ve come to realize that it usually says more about the person giving it than it does about me. Judgment? Oh, that’s often just a reflection of someone else’s insecurities or shame. And when it comes to how we view others, it’s usually shaped by what’s going on inside us.
One of the things that helps me stay grounded is starting the day with prayer and mindfulness. It sets a positive tone and reminds me to stay open to life’s lessons—even the hard ones. Speaking of hard lessons, criticism used to sting, but now I see it as an opportunity to grow. Approaching feedback with an open mind has been a game-changer.
Asking for help? That used to be tough for me. I thought it made me weak. But guess what? It’s a sign of strength. We’re not meant to do life alone—everyone has their own journey, and we all deserve support along the way.
One of my biggest takeaways is this: life is about the journey, not just the destination. Embracing vulnerability has deepened my connections with others and strengthened my sense of self. Self-acceptance is key to finding true happiness.
Takeaways from this episode:
- Unsolicited advice often reflects the giver's perspective.
- Judgment from others can stem from their insecurities and shame.
- How we perceive others is influenced by our internal state.
- Prayer and mindfulness can set a positive tone for the day.
- Criticism can be a tool for growth if approached with an open mind.
- Asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
- Everyone has a unique journey and deserves support.
- Life is about the journey, not just the destination.
- Embracing vulnerability can lead to deeper connections.
- Self-acceptance is crucial for personal growth and happiness.

The St. Francis Prayer
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.

In this episode, Dr. John Delony and I dive into the big stuff—parenting, anxiety, addiction, and the loneliness so many of us feel today. We explore how social media fuels comparison and isolation, why kids need more support (not just ADHD labels), and how addiction often masks deeper pain.
We also talk about finding strength in faith, setting boundaries, and healing from trauma. Plus, why it’s so important to embrace discomfort, prioritize what really matters, and stop letting your kids carry your emotional baggage!
Key Takeaways:
Parenting shapes kids’ emotional and mental health.
Social media = loneliness and comparison traps.
Addiction is often a painkiller for life’s struggles.
Setting boundaries and practicing self-care = sanity savers.
Faith can help guide you through life’s challenges.

In this episode, I open up about the challenges and lessons I've faced while learning to let go—especially as a parent of adult children. I share my journey of self-discovery, reflecting on how gossip and judgment often reveal our own insecurities and how trauma can impact our personal relationships in unique ways.
Through my experiences, I’ve come to realize the power of self-reflection, the importance of building a supportive community, and the guidance faith provides during life’s struggles. I explore how embracing change, practicing self-love and forgiveness, and reaching out for help can lead to profound personal growth. My hope is to inspire you to let go, look inward, and trust that you’re never alone on this path.

In this episode, I’m diving into the power of shifting our mindset as we step into 2025. It’s all about emotional and mental decluttering—letting go of the stuff that weighs us down—not just the physical clutter. I share some personal stories about releasing outcomes and expectations, learning to embrace independence, and leaning into the beauty of change.
We’ll also talk about spiritual growth and the importance of supporting each other as we navigate the art of letting go. My message is simple: let’s live freely, focus on experiences over material possessions, and create a lighter, more joyful life together.
takeaways
- This year is about embracing a lighter, freer version of ourselves.
- Letting go of what no longer serves you is essential.
- Outcomes are so important in the letting go process.
- You need to let go of your childish dreams.
- It drives everyone from us.
- You wanted us to be independent, and we are independent.
- Less thinking and more doing.
- Life is all about enjoying it and walking through all these things.
- We are going to be nice to ourselves in 2025.

It’s Time to Laugh—And Then Laugh Some More!
We’re serving up a heaping dose of hilarity with Maggie,
the comedic dynamo straight out of Chicago! 🎤 This south side sensation didn’t find her calling in comedy
until later in life—trading her “book club” wine glass for a mic and deadpan
wit that will have you rolling in the aisles.
Here’s the deal:
Maggie’s sharp
sarcasm and quick punchlines have graced Chicago’s top comedy
hotspots like Zanies, Laugh
Factory, and Comedy Bar. She’s also rocked
private events, corporate gigs, and her own showcase production company, ALL THAT
GOOD STUFF—because let’s face it, she knows how to bring the
good stuff (and the laughs)!
But wait—Maggie’s no one-trick pony. When she’s not making
people snort with laughter, she’s co-leading Bottomline Recruiting & Ellevate Staffing,
two badass, female-owned firms specializing in tech and sales recruiting. Who
says you can’t be a boss and a boss
comedian?
Oh, and did we mention? Maggie’s
mom has been sober for decades. Having a sober mom isn’t just awesome—it’s
empowering. As Maggie says, “It gave me the freedom to be who I want and do
whatever I want—like bomb at an open mic and then
keep going!”
🎧 Tune in
to this episode for laughs, inspiration, and the inside
scoop on how comedy (and sobriety) pave the way for possibilities you never saw

In this episode, JF and I share the tools and strategies that have helped us stay sober from the very beginning of our recovery to today. Whether you're new to sobriety or a seasoned veteran, these tips will help you navigate the holiday season with confidence and joy!
Here are our top tips to stay grounded and sober during the holidays:
- Put Yourself First
Protect your sobriety like the precious gift it is! Think of it as caring for your loved ones—because when you prioritize your recovery, you’re able to show up for them fully. - Have an Exit Plan
Holiday gatherings can be full of triggers. If you're feeling uneasy or anxious, don't hesitate to leave—or better yet, skip events that don’t support your well-being. Always have a trusted friend on standby to call when you need support without judgment. - BYOD (Bring Your Own Drink)
Don’t leave your beverage options up to chance! Bring something festive you love, like our non-alcoholic “Mistletoe” mocktail. Recipe below! - Stay Connected with Support
AA meetings are available around the clock during the holidays through in-person Alcathons and Zoom meetings. The beauty of Zoom? You can join in your pajamas without even brushing your teeth (a little humor to lighten the mood). - Celebrate Yourself
Staying sober is an incredible accomplishment. Each sober hour, day, or week is the best gift you could ever give yourself. Be proud and take time to recognize your strength! - Don’t Forget to Have Fun
Rule 62: Don’t take yourself too seriously. Celebrate your progress, embrace the joy of the season, and remember how far you’ve come
Mistletoe Mocktail Recipe
-
Ingredients:
- Cranberry Simple Syrup
-
- Jalapeño Simple Syrup
-
- Sparkling Water
-
- Fresh Cranberries
-
- A sprig of Rosemary or Fresh Mint
-
Simple Syrup Instructions:
-
Combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water in a saucepan.
-
- Add sliced jalapeños for a spicy kick or cranberries for a sweet twist.
-
- Simmer until the sugar dissolves, then strain and cool.

This episode is all about letting go of shame, embracing who we are, and finding joy in the little things. I hope it encourages you to approach this holiday season with love, resilience, and maybe a little extra sparkle. Let’s do this together!
takeaways
- Thanksgiving can be a time for community and connection.

So, here's the scoop on my chat with Father Dan Reehil. I mean, this guy's not just any priest; he's been in the game for 10 years, and he's also an exorcist, which, let's be real, isn't something you hear every day. We dove deep into some heavy topics - like what it really means to have faith, the power of places like Medjugorje, and why pilgrimages can change your life.
We talked about how Mary pops up in visions - yeah, like actual apparitions - and why that's a big deal for a lot of folks. But it wasn't all about the spiritual highs; we also got real about the tough stuff. Like, what's going on with today's youth? And let's not skirt around the big elephant in the room - the abuse in the Church. Father Dan didn't hold back; he talked about why we need to face this head-on, with accountability and some serious soul-searching.
But it wasn't just about the dark clouds. We also shined a light on some other crucial stuff - like what it's like to deal with same-sex attraction in a faith community, or why choosing celibacy isn't just about saying no to something, but about saying yes to a different kind of life. And oh, the power of family and community? That came up a lot.
We didn't shy away from the tough conversations either. Speaking your truth when everyone around you might be shouting something else? That takes guts. And trusting in God when life's throwing curveballs? That's where the rubber meets the road for many of us.
So, if you're into stories of faith, battles of good versus evil, or just want to understand more about what it means to live a life of conviction in today's world, this episodes for you. Father Dan and I, we laid it all out there. Come join us for the ride.
takeaways
- Father Dan Reehil has been a Catholic priest for the Diocese of Nashville and is also an exorcist.
- Medjugorje is a significant pilgrimage site where many have experienced spiritual transformations.
- The role of Mary in apparitions is to provide guidance and messages from heaven.
- Private revelations, like those at Medjugorje, are not obligatory to believe but can offer important insights.
- Heaven is described as a place of immense peace and joy, beyond human comprehension.
- Conversion and faith in Jesus are essential for salvation, regardless of one's background.
- Health and spiritual well-being are interconnected; neglecting health can have serious consequences.
- The culture has shifted significantly in the last decade, impacting the youth's understanding of faith.
- The Catholic Church has faced many challenges, including the issue of abuse, but efforts are being made to address these problems.
- Parents play a crucial role in instilling faith and values in their children, especially in today's world. People with same-sex attraction often feel abandoned by the church.
- Celibacy can be a fulfilling way of life, as exemplified by Jesus.
- The Courage program supports those with same-sex attraction in living fulfilled lives.
- Courage in speaking truth is essential, especially in today's society.
- Family time is crucial for maintaining strong relationships.
- The church must be more welcoming to attract new members.
- Trusting God is vital during uncertain times, especially politically.

Hey everyone, it's Elizabeth aka Bizzy, and I've got something special for you in this episode. I sat down with my good friend Pete Sousa, and let me tell you, we dove deep. Pete opened up about his raw, real journey from battling addiction to embracing sobriety. We didn't just skim the surface; we got into the nitty-gritty—the struggles, the surprising doors that sobriety opened, and how it reshaped his world, both at home and at work.
We talked about the power of having a tribe, those folks who get you, and how they're crucial when you're on this path. And yes, we touched on the spiritual stuff too—because recovery isn't just physical or mental; it's soul-deep.
What struck me most was our chat about grabbing life by the horns, saying 'yes' when new opportunities knock, even when the past tries to pull you back with whispers of shame or the tough task of mending broken bridges.
Pete and I got real about the podcast life too—about how sharing our stories isn't just talking; it's about connecting, healing, and maybe, just maybe, helping someone out there feel a little less alone.
We dug into the ongoing quest of figuring out who we are, the role faith plays in our lives, and how crucial it is to own our narrative, to cast off the shadows of shame.
This conversation? It's about living in the now, about the evolution that sobriety brings into your life, continuously shaping us, teaching us to grow, to change, and to thrive.
So, if you're up for a heartfelt, no-filter talk on life, recovery, and everything in between, stick around. This one's for anyone who believes in the power of change and the strength of the human spirit.
Thanks @PeteSousa for coming on Busy Living Sober

In this episode, I explore the theme of aligning one's inner self with their outer persona. I discuss the challenges of self-improvement, the significance of the St. Francis prayer, and the impact of materialism on personal happiness. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, I emphasize the importance of inner work, forgiveness, and spiritual fulfillment, drawing lessons from historical figures like St. Teresa of Avila.
Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi (Prayer for Peace)
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.
O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Hey there, it's Elizabeth Chance coming at you with a heart-to-heart. Today, I want to dive deep into something that's really close to home for me—sharing our sobriety stories. You see, opening up about our struggles isn't just therapeutic; it's transformative.
I've walked this path, and let me tell you, it's been a wild ride of personal growth. Accepting who I am, flaws and all, has been the cornerstone of my journey. But here's the thing—it's not a solo trek. Community is everything. It's about surrounding yourself with people who get it, who've been there, and who lift you up when you're feeling low.
Relationships? Oh, they're a maze. But navigating them with honesty? That's where the real magic happens. It's about looking in the mirror, reflecting on how far we've come, and maybe, just maybe, laughing at how we used to be.
Life throws challenges at us like curveballs, and trust me, I've dodged a few. Shame, guilt, they're like shadows that follow us around. But here's what I've learned—we've got to find joy, cling to hope, and keep pushing forward.
My story, your story—every tale of overcoming, of falling and getting back up, is a beacon of hope for someone else. So, let's embrace our narratives, not as badges of shame, but as badges of honor. Let's connect, share, and maybe, just maybe, inspire each other to keep going.
Join me, won't you? Let's make this journey less about surviving and more about thriving. Together, we can find our way to not just sobriety, but a fuller, richer life. Stay tuned, and let's keep this conversation going.

Lauren Sisler is a national award-winning sports broadcaster who has been captivating audiences with her insightful coverage on ESPN since 2016. Not only is she a powerhouse in the broadcasting world, but she’s also the author of the compelling new book, 'Shatterproof.'
As a sportscaster and former collegiate gymnast, Lauren is passionate about sports, but even more passionate about telling the stories of the coaches, athletes, and fans who make it more than a game.
Lauren's life was not always marked by victories. In 2003, as a freshman at Rutgers University, tragedy struck when she unexpectedly lost both parents within hours of each other to their hidden battle with prescription drug addiction. Through her grief, Lauren emerged from the shadows of shame and found renewed hope. Her message is clear: confront adversity with bravery, own your story, and let it propel you towards a future filled with greater meaning and fulfillment.

As I approach 56, I find myself reflecting on the challenges of accepting life’s changes, especially with my adult children and the shifting dynamics in our family. From navigating pronouns to managing anxiety, I discuss the complexities of relationships, the struggle to let go of expectations, and how sobriety has transformed the way I approach life’s ups and downs. I open up about how the 12 steps, faith, and personal growth continue to guide me through moments of fear and uncertainty.

In this episode, we explore the idea of home as a sacred space—a place where we can find comfort and safety amidst life’s chaos. I share my thoughts on "God's little winks," like seeing my number 47 everywhere, as reminders that I'm on the right path. We also dive into the concept of the "Glenda bubble," a metaphor for protecting your energy and well-being. It’s about creating a safe, positive space around yourself through mindfulness, boundaries, and staying grounded in faith. As I prepare to host a February conference for 10 women, I reflect on how we can foster real, loving, non-judgmental friendships that help us protect each other’s bubbles when they burst.
Do you have signs or special numbers that give you comfort and guidance? How do you protect your own energy and space?

Episode 480 You are Never Alone: Confronting the Fear of Abandonment
In this episode, I dive deep into the fear of abandonment and the anxiety we all face when it comes to being alone. From my own experiences as a mom watching my kids cling to me at preschool, to the deeper truth that God created us for connection, I explore the power of faith in overcoming loneliness. Alcoholism, with all its lies, convinces us that we are alone when, in truth, we are not. It's time to step out from the shadows, leave the bottle behind, and start a new life filled with trust, community, and hope. Join me as we uncover the lie of loneliness and embrace the connection we all crave.

In this solo episode, I open up about the emotional toll of how addicts and alcoholics are treated in today’s world. As someone who has walked this path, I am exhausted by the constant fighting and lack of progress, but I still cling to hope. It's Alcohol Awareness Month, and we urgently need solutions. I share my thoughts on sobriety, including RFK’s 40 years sober, and my hope that he’ll bring his recovery experience to the White House alongside President Donald J. Trump. This conversation is about finding light in the darkness and advocating for real change in how we address addiction.

Today, I reflect on how my priorities have shifted throughout life. When I was younger, it was all about planning the next party and making sure I had enough wine. Then, when I got sober, my focus turned to finding meetings, raising my children, and figuring out how to get them to three different places at once. Life has changed again, and today, my priorities are my husband and helping others. I’ve learned that true happiness isn’t found in money or material things but in our relationships with ourselves, our families, and our communities.
Life is always changing, and so are our priorities—but you are never alone.

Today I have my friend “Bob” Desroches he refers to himself as
J. Robert Desroches (Bob) is a native of Dracut, Massachusetts, and has been involved in the Catholic Charismatic renewal since September of 1992. After a life changing experience that occurred at the annual Catholic Charismatic Conference held in Lowell, Massachusetts, on September 27, 1992, Bob has become a committed Christian.
He was involved in his own Parish community as a lector and Eucharist minister. He served as a pastoral leader at his home Parish prayer group and was also part of other prayer groups that he attended on a weekly basis. Bob is a gifted speaker and teacher and has given leadership training to groups, teaching them the basics of a Catholic Charismatic Prayer meeting. He has given weekend seminars on all the gifts of the Holy Spirit to individual prayer groups. He is still involved with a Charismatic Prayer group in Florida that he attends every week, teaching the members all about a “Life in the Spirit Seminar,” followed by the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Bob’s first book was You’ll Never Be Alone, the second was My Journey with the Spirit, the third was Why Be Charismatic?, and the fourth is Miracles Do Happen. His next book will be Scripture Quotes: The Key to Life. He is always willing to share his testimony to whomever cares to listen. The witness of his conversion is a powerful form of evangelization and brings hope to many people. When he witnesses his inner conversion, it is done in the “Spirit of Faith.”

In this Labor Day episode, I take a deep dive into how life in America has changed over the years. Once-thriving cities are now struggling, and more people are feeling the weight of addiction and loneliness. I discuss the importance of making America great again by fostering pride in our country, respecting our homes, and coming together as a community. Just as we unite to help fellow addicts get sober, let's join forces in our shared love for this nation. This is a call to action to reignite the spirit of unity and respect that once made our country thrive.

In a time when common sense seems scarce, it takes real brainpower to lead. This podcast dives headfirst into the chaos—challenging the bizarre, questioning the status quo, and calling out the absurd. From the rise of misguided movements to the decline of hard work and values, I’m here to dissect what’s wrong with the world today. Whether it’s the ignorance of our youth or the insanity of modern politics, nothing is off-limits. Join me as I pray for clarity, demand truth, and search for the grown-ups in a society gone soft. It’s time to lead, not follow.

In a world full of noise and distractions, where honesty feels like a rarity, this podcast cuts through the chaos to explore the power of truth. I share my journey of being honest for the first time in a room full of strangers, admitting I was an alcoholic. That moment changed everything, leading me to a life of transparency, guided by a sponsor who became a beacon of unwavering support.
Through raw conversations and reflections, we’ll dive into the transformative power of honesty, the significance of gratitude lists, and the lessons learned from someone who truly listened without judgment. We’ll also discuss the importance of authenticity in today’s world—how refreshing it would be if our leaders were as honest with us as we can be with ourselves.
Join me as we explore the true meaning of being ‘busy’ in a world that’s lost touch with what really matters. Let’s reconnect with ourselves, our values, and the presence of God in our lives.

Today I spoke to Mitch Motivates. He is an absolute riot! He lives his life one day at a time and loves being sober and helping others.
He was down and out and now he is living a successful life helping others. Mitch was excited to tell me all about his new book, “My Addiction; My Super Power.”
In his story, he talks about going to treatment when he was one week shy of his 19th birthday and how he stayed sober, relapsed, and came back! He has been sober for 16 years and is so grateful. I just loved speaking to him and I hope you do too!

Being honest is so important to being liberated as a human being!
At what age are we taught to lie?
It seems like hiding who you are and what you believe in is a norm these days. Why is it that what others think trump your own feelings?
Is it time to be authentic?
No more hiding??
I hope you enjoy today’s show!

“If you want to live an authentic, meaningful life, you need to master the art of disappointing and upsetting others, hurting feelings, and living with the reality that some people just won’t like you. It may not be easy, but it’s essential if you want your life to reflect your deepest desires, values, and needs.” ~Cheryl Richardson
One of my favorite listeners reached out to me to see if I would have her friend that just wrote a book on, and I said yes! I am so happy I did. Deb Miller-Lawless’s story is one of strength, resilience and hope. I cried, laughed, and cried again while reading her book “One. Little. Pill.”.
I hope you enjoy today’s show. We had a great time and I look forward to having her on again in the future.
Deb's journey through addiction and her path to recovery began in Connecticut, where she resided for most of her life. For many years, her career revolved around sales and sales leadership. However, a pivotal shift occurred a few years ago when she redirected her focus towards endeavors that truly fulfill her soul: aiding individuals grappling with addiction, supporting nonprofit causes, and pursuing a career in writing.
In addition to writing, Deb is actively involved in community outreach programs and speaking engagements, aiming to destigmatize addiction and inspire hope through her story. She now resides in Longboat Key, FL.
Deb’s first book, a memoir, called One. Little. Pill. Was released on Amazon in May 2024.https://www.amazon.com/One-Little-Pill-Addiction-Darkness/dp/1964143012/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.WkVZmSMrnsVglQn1pDYGdLmGLX9akvGmdlhea5MSNIVnnb0AKALtMvLCsuODczUsAkIWxBf9fOuIpe2_P4R0GSV-dXap6PjFfYmLdugujjF-jqkcJPkX0YLglOr5AjvKaY3oyJyi-fCEL6y0TctYERH3JcYYLZm9d_NR4NRhke1KmyGIeLIn8kCIedzXvoVdkLIgRbTgobgpjQ6Kayul4FqzPjqeCRgWwwukvwB1-jlBEt_ALlmb3nm1vMld4tPUL99FYXh2lTiVftTCkDfi_UXtfhF-qx9a4CRSkcLVAa8.T6xYMVEFRrt6XOwef1oAws99Camxe1CfLoYCx0mZFis&dib_tag=se&keywords=one+little+pill&qid=1722198806&sr=8-1

Freedom is such a gift that we sometimes take for granted.
Today, I cherish the fact that I am entirely FREE!
In today’s podcast I also talk about current events.
The bottom line is that I am so grateful for so many things and most importantly my sobriety, being an American, and being able to share my experiences with all of you.

Today’s episode I spoke to the founder Feragaia, he’s from Scotland and went to the University of Alabama and we had a really good time on the show. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Bill’s previous job was selling beverages that contained alcohol and he saw that there was a missing piece. He saw that there was a need for a non-alcoholic beverage that not only doesn’t have alcohol, it is made in his home country of Scotland and contains the natural ingredients from his region.
One thing that I absolutely love is that Bill made a product that tastes delicious and it doesn’t have sugar! It is delicious!
I hope you enjoy the show!

In today’s episode, we talk about honesty, being transparent when you want to hide, and finding the voice to share with others! When we remove our crutch (for me, alcohol), we can’t mask or remove our feelings. We have to be willing to be vulnerable with ourselves and others. Being honest in every aspect of your life is one of the greatest gifts sobriety offers -- if we accept it.

In today’s podcast I talk about how transparency and authenticity is at the core of being sober, if you can’t be honest sobriety is almost impossible.
We all have choices and why do we choose the easier way — which for a lot of people is choosing to continue to use and stay in the personal hell of active addiction.
When we are able to find someone that will love us and not judge us we have the chance to really get better!
God is so good and having a relationship with God is of the utmost importance when it comes to living a peaceful and serene life. I don’t believe you find harmony if you don’t find faith.
I traveled to El Salvador in 2013 and it was the most deadly country in the world! Today, in 2024 it is the safest country in the Western Hemisphere! Why? The President of El Savador contributes his success to God and prayer!
I promise that if you are open to changing and allowing God in your life everything can and will change for you!
Trust and love opens our hearts to the light.

Today's story is a testament to love and commitment. This is a very gut wrenching story and will touch anyone’s heart!
Amberlie attributes her strength and determination to God. She has incredible faith.
Amberlie isn’t different from many of us. She fell in love in high school and got married to the man of her dreams. Her husband’s job was hard and physical. Like so many stories we hear he hurt his back, went to the doctor and the doctor prescribed Oxycodone.
What happened after taking the drug is a common story. In an all-too-familiar scenario, he got addicted.
Again, this story is somewhat tough to listen to because Amberlie’s husband did not die, but his life is changed forever.
We all need to realize that what is happening with drugs and alcohol in our country is an epidemic. Here is a story about a real incident that changed these people's lives forever.
Thank you Amberlie for coming on Busy Living Sober.

Do you ever find yourself staring at a closed door? I don’t mean literally, but when you really want something to be different and it isn’t! You try to change what is happening in your life and you want some person to change and they aren’t and you can’t change it but you wish!!! What if you prayed instead of wishing?
Life is very challenging these days but what can we do to change? We can’t change anything but ourselves unfortunately. Asking for help is where you can find hope!
Today I talk about my closed doors and how my staring hasn’t changed anything! In fact it brings me back to my pity party! No one ever wants to go to a pity party, including me.
What am I doing to change?

Do you feel like you are being tested all over the place? 2+2 does not equal 4!
I am proud to say that I was a stay-at-home mom — it brought me so much joy and heartache. I gave it 100% and I don’t want to feel ashamed or stigmatized for the fact that I decided for me it was more important to stay home.
We all have to make our own individual decisions and make them with our spouse or partner.
My belief that Harrison Butker was an amazing husband and father speaking to college graduates about the importance of the stay-at-home mom. He had a lot of backlash but let's face it, it had to be said!
Life is hard enough and to think you are judged by whether or not you stay home with your children. I felt that it was a privilege for me to be able to be with my children when they were growing up. It was really hard at times and I didn’t have the money or resources like our neighbors but I did my best. It was my choice and I don’t think I need to feel badly for that choice.
Right and wrong….. You aren’t crazy! It is just all of that Noise…
Here is the link for Kenny Chesney’s song and the lyrics:
https://open.spotify.com/track/0XN2BcoaKE4Z2hnq1ZeDY1?si=ab77bb3830954696
Wreckin' balls, downtown construction
Bottles breakin', jukebox buzzin'
Cardboard sign says "The Lord is Comin', Tick, Ticktock"
Rumors turn the mills back home
Parkin' lot kids with the speakers blown
We didn't turn it on but we can't turn it off, off, off
Sometimes I wonder how did we get here
Seems like all we ever hear is
Noise
Yeah we scream, yeah we shout 'til we don't have a voice
In the streets, in the crowds, it ain't nothin' but noise
Drownin' out all the dreams of this Tennessee boy
Just tryna be heard in all this noise
24 hour television gets so loud that no one listens
Sex and money and politicians talk, talk, talk
But there really ain't no conversation
Ain't nothin' left to the imagination
Trapped in our phones and we can't make it stop, stop this
Noise
Yeah we scream, yeah we shout 'til we don't have a voice
In the streets, in the crowds, it ain't nothin' but noise
Drownin' out all the dreams of this Tennessee boy
Just tryna be heard in all this noise
Every room, every house, every shade of noise
All the floors, all the walls, they all shake with noise
We can't sleep, we can't think, can't escape the noise
We can't take the noise, so we just make
Noise
Yeah we scream, yeah we shout 'til we don't have a voice
In the streets, in the crowds, it ain't nothin' but noise
Drownin' out all the dreams of this Tennessee boy
Just tryna be heard in all this noise
All this noise
Can't take the noise
Can't take the noise
Can't stand the noise
Can't take the noise

Do you know what today’s holiday is about?
Memorial Day is about all of the troops that died while in the line of duty. It is important that we remember them and that they didn’t die in vain. They were and are important to all of us, without them would we have our freedoms? Or what is left of them….
I hope you will take some time today to think of our fallen soldiers and send a thank you!

Happy Wednesday!
After hearing from so many listeners about how great they feel after putting down the drink I thought I would talk about it.
They call it a “pink cloud” in 12 step meetings. What is it and how long does it last?
Life is so nice when you are sober and not ashamed.
Please hold your head high, you deserve it!
Have a happy, happy

In today's episode, I talk about spring and all the changes that are around. Children are graduating, celebrations are happening, and you get to change!
We think change is so hard! We use the word have too much! “I have to go to this party”, “ I have to go to graduation”, “I have to go to a meeting”! What if you changed the Have to GET! “ I get to go to this party”, “I get to go to graduation”, “I get to go to a meeting”, “I get to change”!
Life is not a dress rehearsal — please don’t treat it like one.
Enjoy! Life is soooo GOOD!

Hey everyone, I’m back from a complete adventure that was so transformative!
If your heart opens you can do anything! I am proof of that! When I said yes to going to Medjoria I had no idea what I was going to learn, see, or experience. But, because I was willing, the gifts have come abundantly.
**In today’s episode I tell you all that happened and I apologize for going over an hour! I had no idea that I had so much to say!
The place where the people go for treatment is https://communitycenacolo.ie/**. They have a facility in St Augustine, FL as well.
I pray you get something from the podcast…most importantly that you feel hope, faith and love!
We need more love and light today!

I am thrilled to be able to share my friend and behind the scenes at Busy Living Sober guru Caroline Niziol’s story of sobriety.
Caroline and I met through a friend that had no idea that Caroline is SOBER! What I call a God wink!
Caroline didn’t get sober the way I did but she did use similar tools that I did but she found those resources organically.
Listen to her story….

I am away in Europe but I wanted to bring you back to the very beginning.
There is NO VIDEO with today's episode!
This is my very first podcast!!!! I cringed when I heard my voice and I pray that I sound better today 7 years later but I think the message is the same…life is so much better sober!
One thing that I did say is that I promised to never go over 30 minutes with my podcast. I think I didn’t adhere to that…LOL!!!
Enjoy and be kind. This was my very first one!

In today’s episode I talk about going down the self doubt rabbit hole... It feels extremely yucky and self deprecating.
We all wonder….”is this it?”
Life is all about the ebbs and flows…nothing is stagnant including your feelings. We never stay in one spot, we can always change.
It takes courage to change and I know that You are Courageous!

Life is a journey and finding the right recovery for you is imperative, it is life or death.
So many options…it’s like a buffet of choices. Which choice is right for you?
Today I talk about what choices are available and what choice was right for me and why.
Here are some of the choices I talked about:
SMART Recovery: Facilitator-led, based on principles of cognitive behavioral therapy
Recovery Dharma: Buddhist approach
Refuge Recovery: Buddhist approachWomen for Sobriety: Helping women recover from substance use disorders
LifeRing Secular Recovery: Secular approach to recovery, helpful for those who’d prefer a lack of spiritual or religious overtones

Holly Carney and her husband John Carney, NFL Place-kicker [23 years], began fundraising through their 501c3 Kick Start for Kids which raised over 60% of the revenue for Freshstart Surgical Gifts, in their first thirteen years. Today, Freshstart has its own wing in Children’s Radys Hospital. Holly and John went on to open several more 501c3s: Breaking the Walls of Jericho to help teens in crisis, Dinner with the Pros which aided several Catholic Charities in Southern California, The John Carney Foundation to aid families in need, and God’s Rave which gathered youth groups for the summer months to allow youth ministers a rest and support.
As an educator, Holly wrote a children's book regarding step-mothers and produced a song to accompany her book. Holly opened her first company to launch an online store for her children’s book Wicked Not, along with apparel and cards for blended families.
Over two decades, Holly created and wrote curriculum for a variety of elementary school, junior high and high school programs involving athletics and faith formation. In parallel, her enthusiasm for creating and teaching transitioned into her passion for producing family friendly films and development for content in film and television.
Holly began her career in the film industry as a Development Executive for the Independent Film space. Holly works alongside her adult children, JD Carney and Kiki Carney, to make a difference leaving a positive impact on the culture through film.

My answer forever was the last drink or maybe one in between the first and the last but I was wrong….
Listen to my story!
Being an alcoholic or problem drinker does not mean you are a bad person!
Remember you have a disease in my opinion.
My podcast is always my opinion and you don’t have to agree with my opinion. All I can tell you is that I have been sober for almost 18 years and if you have a problem with alcohol I get it I’ve been there…
You are not alone.

During this season of Lent and Passover I felt it was important to focus on God and people that have unwavering faith and commitments to God.
One of my biggest personal beliefs is that long term sobriety only happens when you have some sort of relationship with God.
I have spoken about God’s little winks and this podcast is an example of one of his winks. I recently reached out to a friend looking for an introduction to someone that would lead me to Ann Vucic. Now, I’m so excited to share our conversation with you.
Ann talks to me about her remarkable journey, beginning with her birth in a quaint village just two miles from Medjugorje. At the age of two, her family immigrated to the United States. Still, Medjugorje never left Ann.
Have you ever heard of Medjugorje? I hadn’t until four years ago, and since hearing about it I couldn’t wait to go!
Please listen to Ann’s story of unwavering faith and devotion. I hope you find it as encouraging as I did!

.
Do you ever feel like you are the only one that got the memo that drinking is bad for you?
We live in such strange times. Celebrities are coming out on a daily basis proclaiming their sobriety and then we have people that are getting sick and putting their lives in danger because they are blackout drunk.
Which one are you?
I have been a fall down drunk, dancing on tables, making horrible decisions and the person that wishes that everyone gets sober!
Sobriety has given so many gifts I cannot even begin to count and the big fat lie of my life was that alcohol was my friend and FUN! It was all BS!
I hope you enjoy today's show.

Today I talk about a dark experience I had on Sunday and the tools that I used that were in my toolbox. It was so unpleasant and scary for a time and I had to do something….
We all go to these places and it isn’t that we won't ever stop going to places that bring up fear — but it is about how we can escape without using alcohol and drugs.
God is so good, do you believe in God’s winks? Do you know what I am talking about?
Please listen and let me know what you think.

Today, I had a very interesting and enjoyable conversation with Dr. Esther Zeledon.
Dr. Esther is an entrepreneur, coach, international development professional, mother, wife, mentor, former diplomat, extreme couponer, travel guru, dance queen and scientist. Whose purpose is to help you live the life you want to live.
We all have a gift to give the world, and Dr. Esther helps you to identify your gifts.
Dr. Esther is a citizen of the world. Her life's work has taken her all over the world and put her in a huge variety of situations – from jungles and remote communities to world capitals, from fishing and agricultural communities to embassies and corporate board rooms.
To say she has experience would be an understatement. She is kind, loving and nonjudgemental. I had such a great time talking to Dr. Esther.

Today I talk about how setting expectations limits us and our abilities to enjoy life. Life is so good if we learn to just let things happen.
The story I think back to is when a Hurricane was heading in the same direction as we were on our vacation ... .What did we do? Listen….
Don’t let your expectations get in your way….it is time to enjoy life. Embrace the lightness and let go of the dark.

Our conversation is finally LIVE for everyone to hear! I was so excited to connect with Dr. John Delony; I love his show and his latest book, Building a Non-Anxious Life. After a few back-and-forths to get scheduled, we sat down together and covered a wide range of topics. I enjoyed our discussion and I know you will too!
Dr. John Delony earned his Bachelor of Arts in humanities and psychology at Lubbock Christian University and his Masters of Education in higher education administration from Texas Tech University. He went on to earn two PhDs from Texas Tech University—one in counselor education and supervision, and the other in higher education administration.
After spending over twenty years in crisis response and leading students in higher education, John knew he wanted to help as many people as possible heal from their past trauma and live whole, connected lives. He now writes, speaks and teaches on relationships, mental health, anxiety and wellness. He also hosts The Dr. John Delony Show where he answers callers’ questions about all of the above, and serves as co-host of The Ramsey Show where he helps unpack the psychology behind finances.
When John isn’t working, you can find him hanging out with his wife and two kids on their farm in Tennessee, headbanging at some obscure concert, or obsessing over his new lifting routine.

It was a real pleasure having the famous Dr. John Delony on my podcast, he’s a really nice guy but I went down the rabbit hole of…why is he a #1 podcast and I am not?
Do you ever compare yourself and afterwards you feel yucky?
I also talk today about living with addicts and how cunning, baffling and powerful the disease of alcoholism is.
We all get to a place where we have been complaining for so long about a person and their drinking…..The person won’t stop and what are you to do?

Today is Valentine’s Day and please don’t use this made-up holiday to help you to define who you are in the negative ways it can. We need to fall in love with ourselves before we can love anyone else.
In today’s episode I talk about drinking in public and how inappropriate it is to get black out drunk even when our country's message is that it is ok! When in fact it isn’t ok! I tell a story about me being drunk in Europe and not remembering that trip and it is kind of sad.
Obsession with criticizing celebrities is another topic I dislike and how we can’t compare ourselves to what a billionaire’s life is. This isn’t beneficial!
I also talk about ways that we can stop hurting ourselves and one of the ways I discuss is staying away from social media when you aren't in a good state of mind.
I hope you enjoy today's show.

After speaking to Jinhyun for a couple of minutes I knew I wanted to have him on the podcast.
Jinhyun had his first experience really helping others at 15 years old! He had a friend that was in dire need. A mutual friend was contemplating suicide and knew that Jinhyun could help!
Today, many years later Jinhyun is a mental wellness coach and entrepreneur.
Jinhyun knows that his calling in life is to help prevent suicides.
As a mental health entrepreneur, he is one of many who are trying to help destigmatize mental health. As a coach, he explores where loneliness has disconnected us from the communities we love and provides language to reconnect.
It was such a pleasure meeting Jinhyun Shin. I promise you will love his story!

Do you ever wake up in the morning and think to yourself, why me? That is your first thought and then more negative feelings come rushing in…you end up starting your day with a massive pity party and you wonder why am I having a bad day?
Life!
We can change our thinking! It doesn’t have to be doomsday. It actually can be better and with not a huge amount of effort you do though need to have a willingness to change. Here is the link to the YouTube video from Dr. Bruce Lipton has helped me.
How To REPROGRAM Your Mind - Dr. Bruce Lipton
Change is possible but we have to want to change more than we want to stay in our rut!

Angela Pugh has 8 months more of recovery than I do and we are both on such similar paths. It was a breath of fresh air when I first met Angela!
We both have such a passion to help others on their journeys to recovery. Angela chose to never marry and have children hence she has made it her life’s mission to help others recover like she has.
Her podcast is one of the best podcasts in America, she has recovery homes for men in Kansas City, MO, she has crossed the globe to help others when in desperate need for help by means of her Interventionist skills.
Today Angela has added travel to her repertoire. She is organizing trips to exotic locations, she was just in Costa Rica with some fellow people in recovery and in the Fall of ‘24 she is planning a trip to the enchanting country of Italy.
I feel like we have been old friends since we met. I was honored to be a guest on her podcast @AddictionUnlimited.
Angela’s adventure’s are incredible and it is my distinct pleasure to introduce all of you to Angela and her story of experience, strength and hope.
Thanks Angela for coming on,

Life can be really difficult at times and we really have no control.
This week I delve into recreating what you had in a different time and place and how it feels to be estranged from your child.
The past couple of years have been very difficult with one of my children and I know that this is a taboo subject but it is so real for me…it is heartbreaking.
One thing that I don't do under any and all circumstances is have a DRINK! That won't make it better but talking about it sure does.

Today I reflect on what it was like to get sober, it isn’t easy but it is possible.
We must buy into the fact that we must change!
Change can be easy if we set our mind to it.
Are you willing to walk through the uncomfortable feelings? It is all up to you.
This disease is cunning, baffling and powerful.

On a side note,My thoughts go out to my friend that didn’t make it, he was a wonderful person and I pray that today he is free and out of the pain that he endured while he was on this planet.
**I found Lizzie B on Instagram and I totally resonated with her journey and where she is today as an empty nester and going through menopause.
Lizzie is a digital lifestyle host and social media influencer. She helps women embrace the "middle ages" by sharing tips, tricks, and interviews about looking and feeling your best when it comes to midlife and menopause. Lizzie B's audience knows she doesn't take herself too seriously, and viewers love following her entertaining behind-the-scenes stories on Instagram and TikTok.**
**Lizzie also spent 20-plus years as an Emmy award-winning broadcast journalist and host. During that time, she interviewed everyone from celebrities to CEOs to presidents and developed the skills of storytelling and engaging viewers.
If you ask Lizzie her favorite thing about switching from traditional media to digital, she’ll proudly tell you she can say just about whatever the eff she wants and no longer needs a full face of makeup to go on camera.**

In 2023 I had to embrace huge changes and not take things so personally. Life is ever changing and it can be hard, frustrating and painful but you can manage. The world of estrangement has always been a part of my life and I absolutely hate it but, I have learned to navigate and let go….
Time is a huge tool! As human beings living in an age where things happen instantly knowing in your heart that it won't always be like this is a real comfort.
Let go, breathe and have gratitude for the gifts you do have.

P.S. My new favorite song of 2024 is by Shanin Blake and the title is Energy Vampires go listen wherever you listen to music.
It’s a new year and time for reflection, inspiration, and light.
It was such a pleasure to meet my new friend Kimberely La Farge, Berlin, LCSW.
Kimberley La Farge Berlin, LCSW, is an Integrative psychotherapist, and Level 3 IFS (Internal Family Systems) practitioner specializing in addiction and trauma. She has been providing expert clinical, consulting and training services worldwide for the past 20+ years.
Her approach is grounded in spiritual traditions, merging ancient wisdom with modern neuroscience.As a person in long-term recovery, Kimberley knows the struggles of anyone seeking to recover from alcohol and/or other substance use disorders.
Her own journey inspired her decades of research, writing, and presentations at regional, national, and international conferences.
Kimberley is a former professional dancer, an avid photographer, chef, and gardener. She lives in Leesburg, Virginia, with her husband and four rescue dogs.
Kimberley’s newest book, titled "Rise in Recovery: The Spiritual Path for Healing Addiction
Alcohol and substance abuse disorders have baffled medical practitioners for centuries. Addiction is more than a neurological or physical disorder. It is a malady that eats at the soul. Rise in Recovery: The Spiritual Path for Healing Addiction merges ancient wisdom with neuroscience and introduces the powerful effects of spiritual practices to heal the overall damages of addiction. It answers the questions, “What is spirituality, how do we find it, nurture it, and live it – and how do we apply it to healing from a soul-crushing disease?”
Unlike most books on the market that discuss “meditation” as a tool for recovery, this book discusses “spirituality” (of which meditation is a part) as a path to recovery. While neuroscientists have proven that spiritual practices positively affect and heal brain areas, no book has taken the wisdom of ancient spiritual guidance and applied it to treating addiction. It takes a unique and proven approach that breaks through outdated ideas to bring a sea-change in how we can achieve long-term recovery.

Here is the acceptance prayer from Alcoholics Anonymous
Acceptance Was The Answer
Fourth Edition Big Book Page 417
When I stopped living in the problem and began living in the answer, the problem went away. From that moment on, I have not had a single compulsion to drink. And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing or situation - some fact of my life - unacceptable to me. I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment. Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens in God’s world by mistake. Until I could accept my alcoholism, I could not stay sober; unless I accept life completely on life’s terms, I cannot be happy. I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world as on what needs to be changed in me and my attitudes.

Julie Tobey—a person with a journey defined by triumphs, challenges, and a commitment to healing.
Early Years: I’m from the small town of Beaver in southern Utah, where my love for sports was ignited. High school not only witnessed my academic achievements but also my abilities on the basketball court, a passion that carried me through college.
Academic Pursuits: My athletic journey continued at Southern Utah University, where I played Division 1 basketball while earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Sports Medicine, Physical Education, Health and Secondary Education. Five years of dedication laid the foundation for a lifelong commitment to health and well-being.
Family and Career: Post-graduation, I married Luke Tobey, and together we built a family with two boys and a girl. Driven by a desire to expand my knowledge, I pursued another Bachelor's degree in Radiological Sciences, and became a Certified Radiology Technician securing a position at the local hospital, specializing in CT scans, X-rays, and Ultrasounds.
The Turning Point: Life took an unexpected turn when a back injury led to surgery and the introduction of opioids for pain management. As physical activity dwindled, my reliance on opioids deepened, eventually leading to a tumultuous struggle with addiction and later alcoholism. Silent battles unfolded behind the facade of professional success and a seemingly perfect family life.
The Journey to Recovery: The breaking point arrived when my addiction with alcohol surfaced at work. This moment became a catalyst for the transformation I desperately needed. Nine and a half months of intensive treatment marked a period of profound change, challenging me to confront my demons and emerge stronger.
Podcast and Advocacy: In a pivotal moment of owning my narrative, I shared my story on a podcast—revealing how addiction was provoked by perfectionism and how shame took me deeper into its clutches. The response was overwhelming, affirming the power of vulnerability and honesty. I've chosen to own my story, using it as a beacon to help others break free from the shackles of shame and reclaim their power.
Life Beyond Addiction: Now in recovery, I've rekindled my passion for holistic well-being. Physical activity, once a source of pain, has become a source of joy. My husband and I continue to explore new athletic pursuits, embracing the camaraderie of strength training and challenging ourselves to become the best versions of ourselves through mind and body.

Episode 399: Breaking Barriers with Hilary Phelps: Embracing Authenticity and Overcoming Shame
I am thrilled to be able to share my informative and inspirational conversation with Hilary Phelps, yes, her brother is Olympian Michael. She is an absolute warrior and I feel so blessed to call her a friend today.
Hilary Phelps' journey is one of remarkable resilience and profound transformation. A standout achiever from a young age, excelling academically and earning recognition as the nation's fastest swimmer in her age group, her life took an unexpected turn at 14 with the onset of a 15-year battle with addiction. At 29, Hilary took a courageous step towards healing by entering rehab, marking a pivotal moment of change in her life. Beyond giving up alcohol, her journey involved a profound transformation, distancing herself from negative influences, and confronting the underlying issues behind her addiction. For years, Hilary kept her story of sobriety private, a personal victory. However, after celebrating 15 years of continuous sobriety in June 2022, she recognized the power of sharing her experiences.
Today, she is more than a survivor; she is an inspiration—a speaker, addiction recovery advocate, writer, and holistic wellness coach dedicated to helping women find their voices and overcome obstacles. Based in Arlington, Virginia, Hilary continues to spread her message through public speaking, coaching, and public relations work, embodying the strength of her own journey.

I am beyond excited to share this Monday’s Podcast with you!
Chad Carlsen’s drive is helping people suffering from addiction and mental illness to get the treatment they deserve. When his soon to be son-in-law died of fentanyl poisoning, Chad’s drive to fight the opioid epidemic redoubled.
The Hopeaholics is not just a podcast. It’s a movement to conquer a nation’s fentanyl-fueled addiction crisis.
The Hopeaholics promote awareness about addiction and mental health, banishing stigma in the process. This podcast provides resources to addicted individuals, people struggling with mental illness, and their loved ones. Chad and his team stand for two things:
· Normalizing treatment is key for recovery.
· Increasing awareness about fentanyl’s deadly side-effects is the first step of fighting America’s opioid epidemic.

Happy Wednesday, I'm here for a solo session!
Have you ever heard the song "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off" by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong?
Let me jog your memory with some of the lyrics:
"You like potato and I like potahto
You like tomato and I like tomahto
Potato, potahto, Tomato, tomahto.
Let's call the whole thing off"
Imagine if something in this world could truly help you, but you hesitate just because of its label or name. Don't let labels hold you back. Search for what truly resonates with you.
Your identity is not defined by labels.
Today, the world offers a variety of options for those seeking change. Back in 2017, when I embarked on my journey to sobriety, the resources available were nothing like what we have today.
It's nothing short of amazing to witness the expanding choices and possibilities for people.
Stigmas are evolving, and individuals are progressing.
I hold onto hope, and I encourage you to do the same.
For more information, feel free to reach out to me at elizabeth@elizabethchance.com.
Always remember, you're not alone! Live life one day at a time!
You've got this!
Wishing you a fantastic week!
With love, Elizabeth aka Bizzy

When Jessie’s own daughter battled substance abuse, she got into action!!!!
Jessie volunteers for NUA and started 229 Safer Living Access where she helps members in her own community be SAFE!!!
229 Safer Living Access has been supported by Jessie herself but if you want to help contribute

I am so excited to share Meg’s story.
Meg is an ordinary mom who found herself trapped in the mommy wine culture. She began her sober curious journey in November of 2019 where her love of science led her to discover the truth about alcohol and its seductive lies.
As a truth-teller and best-selling author, Meg is changing the narrative on the mommy wine culture, the hustle culture, and our pro-drinking culture. In Meg’s debut book, Intoxicating Lies: One Woman's Journey to Freedom from Gray Area Drinking, Meg flips the script on the five most intoxicating lies we tell ourselves about alcohol and about our self-worth.
Meg resides in Delaware with her husband and two teenage children. Her family has been her rock throughout her alcohol-free journey. You can often find Meg enjoying nature on the beautiful biking and hiking trails of Delaware.
