In Episode 640, I sit down with nationally recognized psychic medium and spiritual teacher Drew Cali, whose journey from a fast‑paced business life to evidential mediumship began only after profound loss, trauma, and the decision to get sober.

Drew opens up about his early struggles
with addiction, serving in Iraq, losing his mother to cancer, the stillbirth of
his daughter, and the suicide of his brother‑in‑law — a series of heartbreaks
that pushed him toward therapy, sobriety, and ultimately a spiritual awakening
he never expected.

We talk about:

·      Drew’s sobriety story and how getting clean opened the door to his intuitive
gifts

·      Mediumship as service, not performance — and why groundedness matters

·      Grief, trauma, and the unseen world

·      Imaginary friends, spiritual sensitivity, and childhood intuition

·      Why spirituality and sobriety are inseparable in his life

·      How he learned to trust his abilities after a lifetime of skepticism

·      The moment he realized he was “always at choice” in his healing

Drew’s story is raw, real, and deeply
human — a reminder that recovery and spiritual connection often rise from the
same place: surrender.

If you’re curious about mediumship,
navigating grief, or finding your way back to yourself after loss, this
conversation will stay with you.

In this deeply honest solo episode, I open up about that surprising moment when spiritual growth meets real life — and old patterns start creeping back in. After coming home from a transformative retreat, I could feel myself slipping into familiar routines, self‑judgment, and autopilot living. Instead of hiding it, I share what it really feels like to lose that euphoric clarity and how I’m gently finding my way back.

I talk about my ADHD tendencies, the
anxiety that shows up as noise in my head, and the routines that keep me small.
I also share the tools that are helping me stay grounded right now: prayer,
meditation, the rosary, the new “Detachment” series on the Hallow app, and the
emotional work I’m doing with my new therapist.

This episode is a reminder that awareness
is progress, change is possible, and none of us are alone on this journey. If
you’ve ever felt yourself slipping backward after a breakthrough, this
conversation will meet you right where you are.

Topics in this episode:

·      Why spiritual breakthroughs fade when real life returns

·      Slipping back into old routines and how to pivot

·      ADHD tendencies and constant multitasking

·      Anxiety, noise, and the power of presence

·      Finding a therapist who truly fits

·      Prayer, meditation, and the rosary as grounding tools

·      The Hallow app’s new “Detachment” challenge

·      Remembering your strengths, not just your defects

·      Acceptance, awareness, and choosing a new path

·      You are not your worries — and you are not alone

In this episode, I sit down with Jay Sapovits, someone whose honesty, humility, and long‑term recovery truly moved me. Jay shares his journey through compulsive gambling, emotional relapse,
ego, identity, and nearly 30 years of recovery, and I found myself relating to so much of what he said.

Jay and I talk about:

·      the first time he gambled at 13 and the rush
that changed everything

·      how ego—not gambling—nearly took him out 10
years into recovery

·      what emotional relapse looked like for him

·      rebuilding his identity, relationships, and
integrity through the 12 steps

·      the difference between staying sober and living sober

·      why meetings and service work keep him grounded

·      the loneliness of being “the life of the party”
while dying inside

·      the moment he realized sobriety had to be his #1
priority

·      discovering golf as a healthy obsession and
recovery tool

·      the song that carried him through early recovery
(“Kiss From a Rose”)

This conversation reminded me why I stay close to the rooms and why long‑term sobriety requires deeper work, not less. Jay’s honesty about ego, fear, and the daily practice of letting go is something every person in recovery will connect with.

If you’ve ever wondered what recovery looks like after 10, 20, or 30 years… this episode will speak to you the way it spoke to me.

I’m back home in Florida after weeks of walking, writing, and reflecting, and today I’m talking about something that has been sitting on my heart: living with grace and accepting your story exactly as it is.

Writing my book has brought up memories I wanted to bury forever — the shame, the regret, the “I wish I had done it differently.” But grace asks us to look honestly at our past, accept it, and let it go. Every thread of our story — the good, the painful, the messy — weaves together to make us who we are.

In this episode, I share:

·     how writing my memoir brought up old wounds

·      why acceptance is essential for emotional sobriety

·      how shame keeps us stuck in low‑frequency thinking

·      the brain’s habit of replaying old stories

·      how to interrupt negative loops and choose grace

·      why asking for help is a sign of strength

·      how to move from darkness into light

If you’re tired of beating yourself up, tired of replaying the same story, or ready to step into a new chapter of your life, this episode will remind you that you are not alone — and that grace is always available.

In this episode of It’s Bizzy Podcast/Busy Living Sober, I sit down with Morgan Smith, CEO of Kalm with Kava, for a fascinating conversation about kava, anxiety relief, alcohol alternatives, recovery, and the difference between kava and kratom.

If you’ve ever wondered what kava is, whether it’s safe for people in recovery, or how it compares to substances like kratom, marijuana, and alcohol, this episode breaks it all down in a real and honest way.

Morgan shares how kava has been used in the South Pacific for over 3,000 years as a plant-based tool for relaxation, connection, and calm. He explains how he took over the company after the tragic loss of founder Mike Munsell, why ethical sourcing matters, and how he works directly with farmers in Hawaii and the South Pacific to bring high-quality kava to the United States.

Elizabeth and Morgan also talk openly about sobriety, mind-altering substances, the rise of kratom, sleep struggles, social media addiction, anxiety, and what it means to find healthier ways to calm down without reaching for alcohol.

This is a thought-provoking episode for anyone who is sober curious, in long-term recovery, or simply looking for honest conversations about modern wellness and mindful alternatives.

In this episode:

• what kava is and how it works 
• kava vs kratom 
• whether kava is addictive 
• anxiety relief and relaxation without alcohol 
• sober living and mind-altering substances 
• recovery, sleep, and healthier coping tools 
• social media overload and modern stress 
• ethical sourcing and the story behind Kalm with Kava 

Morgan Smith is the CEO of Kalm with Kava and founder of Monsoon Beverages. He works directly with kava farmers throughout the South Pacific and Hawaii and is passionate about ethical sourcing, wellness education, and sharing the long history of noble kava.

As always, remember: you are not alone, and keep getting busy living sober.

In this deeply personal solo episode from Porto, Portugal, I share a revelation that hit me harder than I expected: my lifelong obsession with money. Not the amount of money — but the constant mental tallying, the fear, the scarcity mindset, the spinning thoughts that never seem to stop.

Being
alone in a foreign country with no distractions made something painfully clear:
I’ve replaced one obsession (alcohol) with another (money). And for the first
time, I could see the trauma behind it — childhood fear, family patterns,
shame, control, and the belief that I’m never truly safe.

I talk about:

·      The moment in Fatima when I begged the Blessed
Mother to take this obsession from me

·      How money fear mirrors the compulsive thinking
of addiction

·      Why being alone made the truth impossible to
ignore

·      The stories we carry from childhood that shape
our adult anxiety

·      How prayer, writing, and the 12‑step tools are
helping me face this

·      Why identifying the obsession is the first step
toward healing it

If you’ve ever worried about money to the point of exhaustion — no matter how much or how little you have — this episode is for you. You are not alone. We can
walk through this together, one day at a time.

In this episode of Busy Living Sober, I sit down with Anne Karber — entrepreneur, author of The Life Hack Playbook, and host of the Let’s Get Naked Podcast — for an honest conversation about addiction recovery, burnout, overgiving, emotional sobriety, and what it really means to stop living on autopilot.

Anne shares her powerful story of leaving home at 16, becoming a young mother, building a successful business, and quietly battling addiction while everything looked fine on the outside. Together, me and Anne talk about the pressure so many women feel to hold everything together, the trap of performative living, and why putting yourself first is not selfish — it is necessary.

We also explore social media overload, doom scrolling, emotional exhaustion, people-pleasing, workaholism, grief, rehab, self-awareness, and healing after burnout. This is a must-listen for women in recovery and anyone who feels like life looks good on paper but feels empty on the inside.

If you have ever felt exhausted from trying to be everything for everyone, this conversation will remind you that peace, purpose, and healing are possible.

In this episode:

• women in recovery 
• addiction and burnout 
• overgiving and emotional exhaustion 
• performative living 
• social media and self-care 
• workaholism and emotional sobriety 
• grief, healing, and self-awareness 
• learning to put yourself first 

Anne Karber is an entrepreneur, author of The Life Hack Playbook, and host of the Let’s Get Naked Podcast. Known for her no-BS approach to personal growth, she helps people break free from performative living and build real emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and ownership.

Episode 633 comes to you from my window overlooking the Douro River in Porto. After days of walking, writing, and facing some heavy chapters of my past, I finally understood what “not regretting the past nor wishing to shut the door on it” really means. In this episode, I talk about shame, forgiveness, sobriety, and why we must stop carrying stories that no longer serve us. If you’re ready to release old pain and step into something new, join me.

⭐ WHAT I EXPLORE IN THIS EPISODE

• My journey of self‑forgiveness and what it really means to stop carrying the past
• How shame, regret, and old stories kept me stuck in low‑frequency emotions
• The power of pivoting when life demands change
• What nearly 20 years of sobriety has taught me about acceptance and letting go
• How solo travel and writing my book in Porto helped me see my life differently
• The importance of gratitude, presence, and taking emotional responsibility
• Why I can’t change others — only myself

⭐ KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Self‑forgiveness is where healing begins
• You can pivot at any moment — your life is not fixed
• Shame is a heavy, low‑frequency emotion you don’t have to carry
• You can feel an emotion without becoming it
• Living in the present is a choice you can make again and again
• Your past is part of you, but it doesn’t have to define you
• You are not alone — everyone has a story and everyone is learning
• Sobriety is more than putting down the drink; it’s learning to live life on life’s terms
• You can’t control how others see you, only how you grow
• Taking chances is what creates your life — not the outcomes, but the courage to try

What if the hardest substance to quit isn’t alcohol… but sugar?

In this eye-opening conversation, I sit down with Mike Collins — known as the “Sugar Free Man” — who has over 40 years in recovery from substance use disorder and decades living sugar-free. After noticing how sugar affected him and others in early sobriety, Mike began researching the powerful connection between sugar, cravings, and addiction. What he discovered changed everything.

We talk about why so many people in recovery replace alcohol with sugar, how sugar can act like a psychoactive substance, and why quitting sweets can feel harder than quitting alcohol. Mike also shares how he raised his children sugar-free in early childhood, rewrote the rules around kids and sugar, and built a community helping thousands break free from sugar addiction.

Mike is the founder of SugarAddiction.com, SugarDetox.com, and QuitSugarSummit.com. Hundreds of thousands have read his book The Last Resort Sugar Detox, and tens of thousands have completed his 30-Day Sugar Freedom Challenge.

If you’ve ever replaced alcohol with sweets, struggled with cravings, or wondered why sugar has such a hold on you — this episode may change how you see recovery.

In this episode, I share the story of my transformative solo trip to Amsterdam and how it pushed me to tap into deeper emotional resilience, practice intentional self‑care, and lean into the power of gratitude when things didn’t go as planned. Traveling alone challenged me, grounded me, and ultimately helped me reconnect with myself in ways I didn’t expect.

From navigating unexpected travel stress to finding peace in quiet moments along the canals, this journey became a powerful reminder that solo travel isn’t just about exploring a new place — it’s about rediscovering who you are. I talk openly about personal growth, mindfulness, sobriety, and the emotional shifts that happen when you give yourself space to change.

If you’re craving clarity, healing, or a fresh start, this episode offers inspiration, honesty, and the reminder that stepping out alone can lead to profound transformation.

What I Explore

• Building emotional resilience during challenging travel moments
• How self-care and gratitude can shift your entire mindset
• The unexpected lessons I learned from traveling solo in Amsterdam

My Key Takeaways

• Solo travel opens the door to new perspectives and emotional growth
• Gratitude helps move you from fear to empowerment
• Embracing solitude can spark deep personal transformation

Faith, recovery, staying sober through heartbreak, and finding hope during hard times.

In this very personal solo episode of It’s Bizzy / Busy Living Sober, I open up about one of the hardest seasons of my life.

Recently, I’ve been deeply hurt and let down by people I trusted. The pain has been real, and at times it felt overwhelming. I’ll be honest — there were moments when I thought about drinking just to escape the hurt.

But I didn’t.

Instead, I leaned into my recovery, my faith, and the tools that have kept me sober for nearly 20 years.

Recorded on Easter Monday, this episode is about what Easter taught me about suffering, hope, and trusting that God still has a plan even when life feels like it’s falling apart.

I also share why I’m leaving for Europe, what this trip means for me, and why sometimes we have to step outside of our normal environment to see our lives more clearly.

If you’re going through a difficult season right now, please remember:

You are not alone.

I truly believe that miracles can happen when we stay open and willing.

And as always, remember you are not alone — and keep getting busy living sober.

How do you go from "calling your shot" at Disney to celebrating 19 years of sobriety while coaching top-tier executives? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Liz DuBois Erskine, an executive coach and conflict analyst who is pulling back the curtain on what it truly means to lead with authenticity.

Dr. Liz shares her powerful journey through addiction and recovery, explaining how the internal patterns we develop in our darkest moments can actually become our greatest leadership strengths. We dive into her "Onstage and Backstage" framework, the subtle signs that guide personal growth, and why she believes vulnerability is a non-negotiable for high-achieving leaders.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The Pivot: How Dr. Liz transitioned from marketing roles at Disney and iHeartRadio to helping leaders untangle complex internal conflicts.
• Sobriety as a Superpower: Lessons learned from a two-decade recovery journey and why Dr. Liz chooses to speak openly about it.
• The "Disney" Way: Leadership takeaways from one of the world’s most iconic brands and how to apply them to your own career.
• Kindness in Communication: Practical ways to navigate professional failures and resolve conflict with radical authenticity.

Whether you are navigating your own path to recovery or looking to level up your executive presence, Dr. Liz’s no-nonsense approach offers a masterclass in resilience.

In this episode, I reflect on responsibility, authenticity, and the societal pressures we’re all facing today. Inspired by a recent homily and my own recovery journey, I talk about three phrases I keep hearing everywhere: “I don’t know,” “nobody,” and “not me.” These phrases reveal how easily we avoid accountability — and why taking responsibility is the true marker of adulthood.

I share my thoughts on self-respect, owning our actions, and how personal responsibility plays a critical role in recovery and personal growth. I also discuss celebrity culture, social media’s influence on identity, and how these forces are shaping the way we see ourselves and the world around us.

Finally, I talk about my concerns for younger generations — how distraction, social media, and a lack of foundational knowledge are impacting responsibility, leadership, and confidence.

This episode is about stepping into accountability, embracing growth, and choosing to live with intention — one responsible decision at a time.

Key Topics

• Why responsibility is the marker of adulthood
 • “I don’t know, nobody, not me” mindset
 • Recovery and radical ownership
 • Celebrity accountability
 • Social media and avoidance culture
 • Self-respect and personal growth
 • Teaching responsibility to the next generation
 • Faith and personal transformation

Stop! Put down the phone (after you hit play on this episode, of course!). 📱✨

In Episode 625, I’m getting real about the digital noise that’s living rent-free in our heads. We’ve all been there: you go to check the weather and forty-five minutes later you’re watching a video of a goat playing the piano while feeling a weird sense of "I’m not doing enough."

Today, I’m sharing my personal journey of breaking up with the "scroll-hole" and finding my way back to real life. We’re talking:

·       The Social Media Detox: Why your mental health will thank you for hitting "unfollow."

·       AI & Tech: Is it a tool or a trap? (Spoiler: It’s both).

·       The Power of the Pause: How I’m using silence, nature, and a little bit of prayer to kick anxiety to the curb.

·       Simple Joys: Reclaiming the quiet moments that the "Like" button tried to steal.

It’s time to trade FOMO for the joy of missing out on the nonsense and tuning back into yourself. Let’s get quiet, get centered, and get back to what actually matters.

What happens in the "quiet hours" of recovery when the meetings are over, your sponsor is asleep, and the cravings start to scream?

In Episode 624, I sit down with Burk Jackson, a man who has been walking the path of recovery since October 20, 1994. With over 31 years of lived experience, Burk knows that while clinical treatment provides the foundation, it’s the human connection that provides the fuel for a lifelong change.

After decades of seeing people fall through the cracks of a fragmented support system, Burk founded RecoveryBridge.app—a revolutionary, 100% free digital platform that ensures no one has to navigate sobriety alone.

In this episode, we discuss:

·       The 31-Year Perspective: How the journey changes from Day 1 to Decade 3.

·       The "Bridge" Concept: Why Burk is removing the price tag from life-changing peer support.

·       Technology with a Heart: How an website app can foster deep, confidential, one-on-one human connection.

·       The Power of Being "Seen": Why talking to someone who has "lived it" changes the internal narrative of shame.

Whether you are on Day One or Year Twenty, Burk’s story is a powerful reminder that the bridge to a better life is built one connection at a time.

"Do you let yourself be treated a certain way because of your shame from the past?"

In today's episode, I’m getting real about the "Scarlet Letter" of alcoholism and how we often let old stories dictate the boundaries we set today. After a weekend of deep reflection, I realized that shame is a master at morphing into something that allows people to walk all over us. But here’s the truth: you aren't that person anymore.

Join me as we talk about:

• The "Cha-Cha" of the First Three Steps: Powerlessness, belief, and letting go.
• Peeling the Onion: Why recovery is a lifelong process of uncovering and healing.
• Finding Joy in the Chaos: How a delayed flight in Austin taught me about choosing light over attitude.
• Rising Above Respect: Understanding that while humans are fallible and will let us down, our sobriety and self-worth aren't up for sale.

It’s time to drop the punching gloves you’ve been hitting yourself with and change them for love, kindness, and compassion. You are not alone.

Have you ever felt like you were doing the work—therapy, meetings, journaling—but there was still a "hole in your soul" that wouldn't heal? In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Bob Schuchts, founder of the John Paul II Healing Center and author of the best-selling book, Be Healed: Encountering the Powerful Love of Jesus in Your Life.

Dr. Bob brings a unique powerhouse of experience to our conversation. With over 30 years as a marriage and family therapist and a background teaching at Florida State University and the Theology of the Body Institute, he deeply understands the human struggle. He shares his incredible transition from clinical therapy to leading a global healing ministry, showing us how to bridge the gap between psychology and the spirit.

In this episode, we cover:

·       Inner Healing: Why we need more than just "coping skills" to find lasting peace.

·       The Roots of Addiction: A deep dive into understanding trauma from a spiritual perspective.

·       Faith & Community: How the people around us act as conduits for God’s grace.

·       Practical Advice: Simple, actionable steps to begin your own spiritual growth journey today.

We discuss the Theology of the Body, the wounds that drive our behaviors, and why true recovery requires us to encounter the powerful love of Jesus in our most broken places. If you are ready to move from just "surviving" to truly being healed, this conversation is for you.

How do you move from the darkness of addiction into a life of purpose and peace? In this solo episode, I share the spiritual milestones of my recovery and the "hard truths" I had to face to find true sobriety.

I dive deep into the importance of spiritual growth and how connecting to something greater than yourself allows you to walk through fear. We discuss why forgiveness is a requirement for healing and how self-compassion can bridge the gap between who you were and who you are becoming.

Key Topics:

• Breaking the Cycle: Moving past alcoholism into a life of abundance.
• The Forgiveness Factor: Why holding onto resentment only keeps you in the trenches.
• Spiritual Sobriety: How to maintain your peace when life gets messy.

"For a long time, I was running on empty carrying a heavy backpack full of remorse, shame, and bitterness that I just couldn't seem to set down. In this episode, I’m sharing about the moment everything shifted.

I’m sharing my deeply personal journey through sobriety and the spiritual awakening that changed the way I see the world. From the unexpected 'divine intervention' I found through the Hallow app to the quiet power of practicing gratitude during Lent, I’ve learned that you must empty yourself of the old hurts to make room for something divine.

Join me as we talk about finding inner peace when the world feels divided, why kindness is a superpower, and how a little bit of faith can lead to a massive amount of personal growth.

"I escaped a literal war in Iran, only to find myself trapped in a different kind of battlefield: addiction, emotional abuse, and the suffocating grip of narcissism."

In this episode of Busy Living Sober "It's Bizzy," I’m sitting down with the incredible Azadeh Atzberger. Azadeh is an Iranian-American survivor of war and emotional abuse who has become an icon of resilience and feminine leadership. With 24 years of sobriety and over a decade of high-level coaching, she brings a unique blend of "compassion and fire" to the reclamation of personal power.

We go deep into what happens when your survival instincts, forged in a war zone, meet the complex trauma of toxic relationships. We discuss:

• The Shadow of Narcissism: Recognizing its impact on your recovery and sense of self.
• Building Your Borders: Why setting boundaries is a survival requirement for mental health.
• The Power With-IN: How Azadeh’s publishing platform helps women rewrite the narrative of their lives.
• Spiritual Resilience: Finding a connection to something bigger when your world feels like it’s collapsing.

If you’ve ever felt silenced by cultural or personal oppression, this conversation is your permission slip to take your power back.

What if I told you the secret to winning wasn't pushing harder, but actually... having more fun? In Episode 617, I’m diving deep into the infectious joy of Olympic skater Alysa Liu and the gritty heart of USA Hockey to show you why surrender has become my ultimate game-changer.

I’m getting personal about those moments when we’re tempted to white-knuckle the steering wheel—whether we’re navigating sobriety, career stress, or just life’s "ice rinks." I’ve learned that when I stop trying to control every move and start trusting the process, everything shifts. It’s time to find our community, lean into positivity, and find out what happens when we finally just let go. Come join me!

What happens when the person known for interviewing celebrities on a stoop decides to step into her own spotlight of truth? In this powerhouse episode, we sit down with Cat Greenleaf—four-time Emmy winner and former host of NBC’s Talk Stoop—turned fierce advocate for sobriety and recovery.

Cat pulls back the curtain on her transformative journey, moving from the high-stakes world of media to the deeply personal work of self-discovery. We explore the "language of recovery," the messy intersections of motherhood and addiction, and why community support is the ultimate backbone of a sober life.

Beyond the personal, Cat shares her mission to change the narrative for the formerly incarcerated through her Restorative Housing Organization, proving that finding a deeper purpose is the key to both personal healing and societal impact. This is a conversation about authenticity, the courage to change careers mid-stream, and the profound power of helping others find their way back.

About Cat Greenleaf

Cat Greenleaf is the creator and former host of Talk Stoop on NBC, where she interviewed hundreds of guests over nine years and earned four Emmys. After losing her job, she deepened her commitment to sobriety and founded the Restorative Housing Organization, training formerly incarcerated individuals to renovate and manage affordable waterfront housing. In 2024, she launched her own podcast, Soberness, dedicated to candid conversations about living a life in recovery.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The Transition: Moving from celebrity broadcasting to advocacy.
• The Power of Words: How the language we use in recovery shapes our reality.
• Parenting & Sobriety: Navigating the unique challenges of motherhood while healing.
• Social Impact: Cat’s nonprofit work training formerly incarcerated New Yorkers to manage affordable housing.
• The "Hacks" Moment: How a TV reference and a talk with Steve Earle sparked the Soberness podcast.

As we move from the indulgence of Fat Tuesday into the quiet reflection of Lent, I’ve been thinking a lot about what this season actually means for us. In this episode, I’m challenging the traditional idea of "giving something up" and shifting the focus toward intentional self-care and personal growth.

I share my own reflections on why this transition shouldn't be about deprivation, but about filling our own cups so we can show up better for ourselves and the people we love. From navigating major life changes to the simple power of a daily walk, I’m exploring how prioritizing our well-being is the ultimate form of spiritual and personal discovery.

What I’m Talking About Today:

• The Shift: Why I’m choosing self-care over self-denial this Lenten season.
• Simple Wellness: Practical ways I’m incorporating health—like movement and nutrition—into my routine.
• The HALT Method: How I stay mindful of being Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired to keep my peace.
• New Priorities: My journey of reassessing what I need most amidst life's constant changes.
• The Power of Us: Why I believe community and connection are essential for growth.

Join Our Community: 8 Tuesdays of Lent

I am so excited to invite you to a special Zoom gathering starting tonight! For the 8 Tuesdays of Lent, we will be meeting to connect and build a community where we can share in a safe, supportive space.

Have you ever wondered if the 12 steps could do more than just keep you sober? My guest today, Andrew Lassise, is a serial entrepreneur and 12-step advocate who proves that the same tools we use to save our lives can also build our empires.

After selling his business in 2023, Andrew founded Sober Founders—a nonprofit community where business owners in recovery use the principles of the steps to solve real-world business problems. From navigating a DUI to scaling a company, Andrew’s journey is a masterclass in resilience and vulnerability.

In this episode, we dive into:

• How a rock-bottom DUI became a turning point for professional success.
• Why "practicing these principles in all our affairs" must include our bank accounts and boardrooms.
• The power of vulnerability in leadership.
• The creation of a community where sober entrepreneurs can find their "tribe."

If you’re a "multigrain" soul trying to navigate the complex world of business without losing your peace, this episode is a must-listen!

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how we grow. After 10 years and over 600 episodes of talking about sobriety, I had a realization: things were starting to feel a little stale—even for me. I realized that while sobriety is the foundation of my life, it isn’t my entire life.

In Episode 613, I’m getting vulnerable about why I’m taking the entire month of March off to revamp, recharge, and rediscover the light. I’m leaning into my "multigrain" life—embracing the fact that I’m a complex mix of faith, opinions, passions, and a deep love for a good cup of tea.

In this episode, I share:

• The Big Sabbatical: Why I’m hitting the pause button in March and why personal responsibility means knowing when to rest.
• The "Multigrain" Metaphor: Why I’m stepping out of the "sobriety box" to show you all the different facets of who I am—and why you should, too.
• 8 Weeks of Lent: My invitation to you to join me on Zoom starting next week (Fat Tuesday!) to find community and stay in the light together.
• Navigating the Noise: How I’m processing everything from the Super Bowl and TPUSA to spiritual discernment with teachers like Nancy Guthrie.
• Trusting the Bigger Picture: Why trusting God is the only way I know how to navigate the division and media hacks of the modern world.

If you’ve been feeling like you’re stuck in one lane or overwhelmed by the noise of the world, this episode is for you. You are more than your struggles, and you are certainly not alone. Let’s talk about how to keep our eyes on the light, even when the world feels a bit dark.

What does friendship look like after two decades of sobriety?

In Episode 612, I’m sitting down with my dear friend Becky Shipos, who brings an incredible 26 years of recovery to the conversation. Together, we’re peeling back the layers on what it actually takes to "clean house"—not just in our basements, but in our hearts and our relationships.

We get raw about the Fourth Step, the secrets that used to keep us sick, and the messy, beautiful reality of family dynamics. If you’ve ever felt like a "multigrain" person trying to fit into a white-bread world, this episode is your permission slip to be exactly who you are.

In this conversation, we dive into:

·       The "Transient" Nature of Friends: Why some people are for a season, some are for a reason, and how to tell the difference.

·       The Power of the Fourth Step: Why "confessing" our secrets is the only way to stop them from running our lives.

·       Unconditional Support: How to ask for help without strings attached (and why people actually love to help you).

·       The Freedom of 'Right Now': How we moved from the shame of the past to the absolute gift of being present today.

Becky and I have seen it all, and if there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s that you don't have to do this alone. Whether you’re celebrating 26 years or 26 minutes, pull up a chair. We’ve got a seat saved for you.

It’s freezing here in Florida—iguanas are literally falling out of the trees—but as I sit here in my wool hat and sweater, all I can think about is how incredibly grateful I am.

In Episode 611, I’m getting real with you about my journey through alcoholism and the 19 years of sobriety that followed. I’ll be honest: when I first got sober in 2006, I thought my life was officially over. I thought I’d be bored, friendless, and stuck in church basements forever. I was so wrong.

In this episode, I share:

·       My "Multigrain" Life: Why I finally stopped trying to fit into a box and embraced being my eccentric, authentic self.

·       The Magic of the 12 Steps: How these rooms provided me with a community of unconditional love that doesn't care about your bank account or your car.

·       The "Canoe" Analogy: Why the hardest part of recovery is taking your hands off the steering wheel and letting God steer the boat.

·       Overcoming the Stigma: How I moved past the shame of addiction to find a life beyond my wildest dreams.

If you’re out there struggling, I want you to know that you are not alone. Sobriety wasn't a punishment for me; it was a brand-new lease on life. Whether you’re on Day 1 or Year 20, let’s talk about how to live in the light, stay grateful, and handle whatever waves life throws our way.

How much do you really know about the facility where your loved one is seeking help?

In Episode 608 of It’s Bizzy, Elizabeth Chance sits down with Dr. Rachel Pappert Docekal, the powerhouse CEO of the Hanley Foundation. Rachel pulls back the curtain on the addiction treatment industry, revealing a startling reality: many families spend more time researching a holiday gift than they do selecting a life-saving treatment center.

In this candid conversation, Rachel and Elizabeth dive into the "Wild West" of recovery—discussing everything from unscrupulous business practices to the critical need for dual-diagnosis care. Rachel shares why the family is often the "missing link" in long-term success and how the noise of social media is creating new hurdles for the next generation's mental health.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

·       How to spot a high-quality treatment center versus a "marketing front."

·       Why treating addiction as a moral failing instead of a brain disease is killing progress.

·       The essential role of the "Family Program" in preventing relapse.

·       How to navigate the complexities of dual diagnosis (mental health + addiction).

If you are a family member, a person in recovery, or someone trying to navigate the confusing landscape of behavioral health, this episode is your roadmap.

Life has been a bit of a whirlwind lately, hasn’t it? Between the heavy headlines and personal heartaches—like recently losing a dear friend to addiction—I’ve found myself searching for a sense of calm in the middle of all the noise. In this episode, I’m opening up about my personal journey to finding peace and why I’ve decided to intentionally change the "vibe" of my home and heart.

I’m sharing how I’ve swapped the draining cycle of negative media for the incredible, uplifting power of music therapy. It is amazing how the right song can shift your entire atmosphere! I also dive into why I’m seeing a beautiful resurgence in community and faith, my personal experiences with the clarity that comes from fasting, and how surrendering to a higher power has helped me spot the "God winks" all around us.

If you’ve been feeling a little overwhelmed or disconnected, this one is for you. Let’s rediscover that positive mindset together and remember that no matter what you’re walking through, you are never alone.

“It’s way better doing it sober.”

In Episode 606, I’m joined by the incredible actor and content creator Sarah Pribis for a deep, unfiltered look at what it’s really like to navigate the entertainment industry while choosing a life of recovery. Sarah is so refreshingly honest about her journey—from landing her very first Christmas movie to the moment she realized her relationship with alcohol had shifted from "fun" to a dependency she could no longer ignore.

We dive into the raw details of her path to sobriety, including the pivotal phone call to her sober father and the experience of doing rehab at his house. Sarah shares how 12-step programs have become her foundation, helping her face the high-pressure world of auditions and the "glamour" of the Ellen show with a clear head and an authentic heart.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why her first Christmas movie felt like such a massive career milestone.
• The evolution of her sobriety and why she’s more fun (and a better actor) now.
• How she uses social media to show the unglamorous reality of being a working actor.
• Why practicing gratitude and service is her secret weapon against self-doubt.

I loved this conversation because Sarah reminds us of all that while the hustle is real, our mental health and community come first. Whether you’re an artist or someone on your own recovery path, Sarah’s story is going to hit home.

Are you waiting to feel "ready" before you make that big life pivot? Spoiler alert: "Ready" is a myth.

In this episode of It's Bizzy, I’m peeling back the layers on the one thing that actually moves the needle in your life: Willingness. We often want things to be different—we want the debt gone, the relationship healed, or the anxiety to quiet down—but are we willing to do the uncomfortable work to get there?

I’m sharing the raw truth about how I’ve navigated my own "uncomfortable quiet" lately and why building a routine is the life-raft you didn't know you needed. If you’ve been twirling in circles of self-doubt, this is your sign to stop the sprint and start the pivot.

In this episode, we discuss:

·       Why "willingness" is the secret engine behind personal transformation.

·       How to use routines to outrun your fear and self-doubt.

·       The power of taking action when you still feel 100% afraid.

·       Why seeking help isn't a weakness—it's a high-level strategy for success.

Stop doing this alone. If you are ready to put on your own oxygen mask and design a 2026 that feels like YOURS, I’m here to walk with you.

As the whirlwind of December fades and we step into the quiet of January, I’m reconnecting with my dear friend Becky Shipos to talk about a "super habit" we both lean on: finding stillness. In this episode, we open up about our personal journeys through sobriety and the realization that while we can’t control the chaos of life, we can control how we sit with it.

We dive deep into the messy parts of parenting and the sting we feel when relationships don't go the way we envisioned. I share my thoughts on the vital difference between fleeting happiness and the permanent, deep-rooted joy that carries us through the hard times. From the evolution of 12-step programs and the power of community to the "compare and despair" trap of social media, Becky and I discuss the tools we use to stay grounded. Join us as we explore why letting go isn't about giving up—it’s about making room for the peace and personal growth we actually deserve.

Takeaways

• Stillness is a Strategy: Why I believe pausing is the only way to hear your own truth amidst the noise.
• The Joy Shift: Realizing that joy is an internal anchor that stays, even when happiness feels far away.
• Parenting in the Real World: Navigating the heartbreak and "knots" of family dynamics with grace.
• Modern Recovery: How community support and 12-step tools have changed over the years to meet us where we are.

Happy 2026, everyone! I’m Elizabeth “Bizzy” Chance. In this episode, we are drawing a line in the sand: we are not taking fear with us into this new year.

As a coach, I see so many people held back by the weight of the past. That’s why I’m diving deep into why it is so vital to stop letting shame dictate your choices and how you can finally start living in the present moment. I know how easy it is to get lost in the noise of a busy world, but I’ve found that the real magic happens in those quiet moments of reflection where we find self-love.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

·       Why self-care isn't a luxury—it’s a necessity for your mental health.

·       The secret to pivoting and staying flexible when life shifts.

·       How to improve your communication to build deeper, more meaningful connections.

·       My personal journey in finding a sense of peace and belonging.

Life is fleeting, and I want us all to cherish the time we have.

Work With Me: I am officially taking on new coaching clients for 2026! If you are ready to let go of fear, address the shame that's been holding you back, and learn how to pivot with purpose, I would love to support you on your journey.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

In Episode 562, I am joined by the wonderful Rosanne Terzian. We go way back as mothers and friends, and our conversation explores our shared backgrounds—comparing the beautiful traditions of Armenian and Italian Catholicism—and how those cultural roots shaped the women we are today.

As a Certified Wholeness Coach and RN, self-taught in the writings and practices of St. Hildegard of Bingen, Rosanne blends her healthcare background with a passion for helping individuals achieve holistic wellness of body, mind, and soul. She believes, like St. Hildegard, that God has provided everything we need for wellness, and that self-knowledge and scripture-based prayer are the first steps to mitigate disease and live a balanced life.

Rosanne shares her incredible journey from the front lines of nursing to her current calling in spiritual coaching. We talk about the deep, vulnerable connections made at the bedside and how she was inspired by the mystic St. Hildegard to help women find wellness through faith and virtue.

We don’t shy away from the hard stuff, either. We tackle the "modern addictions" that sneak into our lives—like the endless scrolling on social media and the trap of consumerism—and how we can use prayer, chanting, and stillness to break free. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, this episode is your permission to slow down, breathe, and remember that you are a child of God.

"We are God's children, and sometimes the best thing we can do is just be still and listen."

·       The Vocation of Nursing: The sacred moments of connecting with patients in their most vulnerable states.

·       St. Hildegard of Bingen: How this pioneer's ancient teachings on wellness and virtue still matter today.

·       Breaking Modern Addictions: Moving away from the noise of shopping and social media toward true stillness.

I can hardly believe I’m saying this, but we have officially crossed the 600-episode mark! As I step into Episode 601, my heart is just overflowing with gratitude for you. Whether you’ve been with me since day one or you just found the show, thank you for allowing me into your ears and your lives.

In this episode, I’m getting very real about where I am right now. I’m reflecting on the beauty of this milestone, but also the complexities of the holiday season. I’m sharing the raw truth about the loneliness that can creep in when children grow up and family dynamics shift, leaving us feeling a bit disconnected. We also dive into the heavy atmosphere of the world today—the anger and division we see everywhere—and why I believe our greatest mission is to lift each other up instead of tearing each other down.

I also want to talk to you about the "new." I’m leaning into my creative side and using vision boards to map out my intentional growth for the coming year. I’ll walk you through how self-care, forgiveness, and reflection aren’t just buzzwords—they are survival tools. Most importantly, I want to remind you of the one thing I know to be true: you are not alone.

Join me for a heartfelt conversation about looking back with gratitude and looking forward with purpose.

Key Takeaways

• A Milestone of Gratitude: Celebrating 600 episodes and the community that made it possible.
• The Changing Table: A candid look at the loneliness of the holidays when family dynamics evolve.
• Healing the Divide: Choosing to lift others up in a society filled with anger and division.
• The Power of "New": Using creativity and vision boards to shape your 2026 goals.
• The Trinity of Peace: Why self-care, reflection, and forgiveness are essential for personal growth.
• You Are Never Alone: A vital reminder for anyone struggling during this season.

SIX HUNDRED EPISODES! Can you believe it?! I am absolutely over the moon to be celebrating this massive milestone with all of you today. For Episode 600, I wanted to bring you something truly special, high-energy, and a reminder that life is meant to be lived out loud—and yes, you can have the absolute best time ever while sober or just choosing not to drink!

Joining me for this diamond anniversary episode is the incredible Kari Long. We are diving deep into my latest obsession: Mahjong! 🎲

Kari and I pull back the curtain on this beautiful game, from its fascinating 1920s American roots to the way it is taking over the modern social scene. But this isn't just about tiles and racks; it’s about the magic of connection. We get real about how tough it can be to make friends as an adult and how Mahjong acts as the perfect, low-pressure bridge to build a community that actually sticks.

In this episode, we’re talking about:

·       The Adult Friendship Hack: How to find your "tribe" without a cocktail in hand.

·       Mental Health Wins: Why Mahjong is basically a workout for your brain and a hug for your soul.

·       Inclusivity & Growth: Why this isn't just "your grandma’s game" anymore (men are joining the fun, too!).

·       The Power of Faith: How leaning into faith helps us navigate the bumpy parts of life’s journey.

·       Teaching the Game: Kari shares her secrets to mastering the strategy and why "Mahjong is here to stay!"

Whether you’re a Mahjong pro or you’ve never seen a tile in your life, this episode is a celebration of community, mental wellness, and the joy of showing up as your authentic self. Thank you for being part of these 600 episodes—we’re just getting started! Happy Holidays!

·       Finding stillness can lead to profound personal growth.

Welcome back, Bizzy Fam! In Episode 596, we are diving into a heavy but absolutely critical topic that touches so many families: the legal side of mental health and addiction.

I sat down with legal advocate Mark Astor, a powerhouse attorney who has been in the game since 1994. Mark’s background is incredible—born and raised in the UK, he started his career right here as a Palm Beach County Assistant State Attorney, handling thousands of cases from misdemeanors to capital murder.

In this episode, Mark shares his mission to help families navigate the complex behavioral health system. In 2016, he founded Drug and Alcohol Attorneys, and later co-founded Astor Simovitch Law with his wife, Audra, specifically to save families whose loved ones are struggling with substance use and failed recovery attempts. He also founded Baker Act Attorneys in 2020 to fight for those wrongfully detained in the mental health system.

We get into the nitty-gritty of the Baker Act vs. the Marchman Act, how guardianship works, and why the legal system needs a major overhaul to improve access to resources. Mark also drops some serious wisdom on why physical health fosters mental well-being—something he lives by as a Krav Maga instructor.

If you are looking for advice on legal intervention or just want to understand the system better, this episode is a must-listen.

Key Takeaways:

• Family is Key: Mark emphasizes that the role of family is absolutely critical for effective recovery.
• The Baker Act: Explaining how this allows the state to take custody of individuals in immediate mental health crises.
• The Marchman Act: A deep dive into this act specifically designed for individuals struggling with substance use disorders.
• Guardianship: How this legal tool can give families the control they need over a loved one’s decisions during a crisis.
• Commitment is Crucial: Why treatment success is a marathon, not a sprint, and requires long-term dedication.

Bizzy Fam, in this episode, I reflect on my Thanksgiving experience, sharing how unexpected peace can be found when we learn to manage our expectations. As we transition into the season of Advent, I discuss the importance of spiritual growth and the tools that ground her, including her daily practice with the Holy Bible app and the Hallow App.

The conversation goes deeper into the vulnerable realities of recovery, touching on the feelings of abandonment and loneliness that often accompany addiction—not just for the individual, but for the whole family. I talk about the pressure of social media, the distortion of self-image, and why embracing your unique individuality is vital for true happiness.

Join me as I offer insights on maintaining integrity, setting realistic resolutions for the future, and, most importantly, remembering never to give up on yourself.

Key Takeaways

• Holiday Reflection: How Thanksgiving can serve as a time for peace rather than stress.
• Spiritual Connection: Using Advent and tools like the Holy Bible app and Hallow to deepen faith.
• Navigating Recovery: Addressing feelings of abandonment and the importance of family support.
• Digital Wellness: Understanding how social media impacts self-perception and the need to break free from unhealthy comparisons.
• Moving Forward: The power of simplicity, keeping your word, and setting resolutions rooted in personal growth.

Bizzy fam! Talk about a wake-up call! At 58, healthy, and five years sober, Nichole Evans was lifting weights at the gym on September 17, 2025, when a strange sensation in her hands suddenly left her fighting for breath. She's incredibly lucky to be alive, and as she shares in this episode, things may have been drastically different if she hadn't already committed to her sobriety.

Nichole is here to tell the story of the heart attack that shocked her—and why it forced her to become a fierce advocate for women's heart health awareness (and the tricky symptoms we need to look out for). She shares how her incredible resilience was built through her journey to overcome alcoholism and the deep impact of grief. Join us for a candid discussion on the power of community, the importance of emotional clarity in recovery, and how she's now facing her fears to take absolute control of her health and well-being.

Key Takeaways You'll Learn:

• The Unbelievable Wake-Up Call: Nichole details the heart attack that struck her while actively lifting weights at the age of 58.
• Sobriety is Life-Saving: Why being five years sober likely changed the outcome of her heart attack.

Bizzy fam!

If you're buried under boxes of "what ifs" and ready to trade accumulation for actual peace, this one's your spark—light it up!

Episode 574: From Opioids to Ordained: Jeff Grant's Prison-to-Purpose Redemption

Bizzy fam! In episode 574, I get real with Jeff Grant, Esq.—a lawyer who hit rock bottom with prescription opioid addiction, served federal prison time for a white-collar crime, and rose through sobriety, faith, and a Master of Divinity from Union Theological Seminary to become an ordained reverend. Jeff and his wife Lynn co-founded the White Collar Support Group to lift up families in crisis, reinstated his law license to fight the system at GrantLaw.com, and launched the Federal Expungement Initiative for second chances. Don't miss his take on forgiveness, community, and the White Collar Conference 2025 (Oct 11, 9 AM ET on Zoom, open to all—register at whitecollarconference.com). Jeff speaks Thursday, Oct 9 at 7 PM ET at Bethesda-by-the-Sea, Palm Beach, FL (RSVP: rsvp@bbts.org). Watch: https://www.youtube.com/@elizabethchance! #ItsBizzy #LiveLoudLoveBig

Takeaways:

• Change is a natural part of life and can lead to growth.
• Addiction can stem from physical injuries and lead to devastating consequences.
• Recovery is a lifelong journey that requires support and commitment.

Hi Bizzy fam! In this heartfelt episode, I share openly about the grief I felt after Charlie Kirk’s passing and the weight of living in a world that feels heavy with darkness.

From the tears of September 10th to a vision of Charlie with the Blessed Mother, I open up about the way God brings comfort even when we don’t understand the “why.” These are the moments that test our faith but also invite us to lean in closer to Him.

This episode is about holding onto hope, choosing forgiveness over anger, and remembering that love is always stronger than hate. My prayer is that Charlie’s legacy inspires us all to live with courage, faith, and compassion.

🎧 Watch episode 573 here: YouTube.com/@ElizabethChance

Takeaways:

• Charlie Kirk’s passion inspired truth and courage—his legacy lives on.
• Violence and hate are demonic; faith and love are our weapons.
• Speak your truth, even if it costs you—America’s First Amendment demands it.
• Grief and darkness test us, but gratitude and prayer pull us through.
• Own your beliefs: God, recovery, patriotism—no shame in that.
• Don’t numb out; face life’s hardness with grace and community.
• Honor Charlie by smiling, forgiving, and flying your flag high.
• You’re not alone in the fight—reach out and stand together.
