Title: Putting Your Best Foot Forward: Madison’s Story

Whew, we made it to episode 10!

Today, Madison and I chat about her journey from social drinker to spin queen, and how reexamining her relationship with alcohol became her motivator for change.

Madison is the perfect example of a lot of us in recovery: for many people, losing control over drinking or other substance abuse doesn’t always look loud or messy.

Sometimes, it’s in the subtle ways we start to see it sabotage our success and rob us of joy.

We recorded this awhile back, but everything we discuss is timeless. (Plus time travel is cool!) It’s also wild to see how much MORE we’ve both grown since we sat down to record this together.

Thanks for joining me, Madison. This was a special one for me. <3

Mary Beth talks about her addiction and recovery journey through her memoir, From Junkie to Judge: One Woman's Triumph Over Trauma and Addiction, which I had the sincere pleasure to read before we sat down together!

It’s hard not to gush or give away too much of her story, but when I say I admire this woman for what she’s endured, conquered, and built, that’s not me being dramatic.

She’s such an inspiration on so many levels. She battled her addiction to IV meth use by facing her childhood trauma and took her recovery into her own hands as an atheist woman who felt like there wasn’t a recovery program that fit her own values and beliefs.

I hope you guys enjoy this one as much as I did!

Ashley and I met to chat about her battle with booze—including how it started and why she left drinking in our past.

Her story reminds me a lot of some of my own experiences with alcohol. The way it creeps up on you, the self-loathing, the weird “gotta-drink-but-don’t-wanna” feeling…

And how do you eleven get out of it once you realize it might be an issue? Does it always take crashing and burning to realize you need help?

We can’t wait to have you hang out with us for this one!

I am so stoked to talk to Jeremy Webster, founder of ODAAT Apparel, entrepreneur, designer, father, and all-around good dude.

How does a person go from a problematic drinker to the owner of a recovery-celebrating clothing brand? Turns out Jeremy’s path covers A LOT of ground—literally and figuratively!

We talk about a ton of stuff, like Japan, fatherhood, dangerous secrets, the power of family, crazy coincidences (you won’t believe where his new office is located…), and clothing for a cause.

Thanks for coming to hang out with us!

Guest: Dylan T. Rosenthal

I can’t believe it took until episode 5 to have a guy on the podcast! (It was worth the wait though you guys.)

Dylan and I chat about what it takes to get sober, the spiritual aspect of recovery, and the mental fortitude that goes into being a Spartan Race finisher (!!!) as well as a person in recovery.

This was a fun chat—I mean, they all are, but this one was a lot of fun. I am thrilled to share this episode with you guys.

Addiction is something that happens to other people, but not to us! Right? Maricay and I talked about substance abuse, death, grief, witchcraft, childhood, authenticity… and we might’ve even cried a little. Join us for this weird and wonderful episode, in which we made poor Kyle (our video editor) have to bleep out a lot of f-bombs. - Jess P.S.

LOR Episode 3: From Addicted to Addiction Counselor

Lindsay and I talk about what it takes to go from being “lost in the sauce” to someone who can support her recovery community one person at a time.

But how does someone go from one extreme to the other? (What a great question, invisible audience person! You should hang out with us for Episode 3 and find out.)

In this episode, I sit down with Jessica Foutz, my long-term friend (and incredible human being), to get into the details of her recovery story. 

We chat about self-medicating, trauma, cycle-breaking, and how the social acceptance of drinking might be leading a lot of us to fall into a spiral of anxiety, self-loathing, and fear.

Join me for this intimate look into the downfalls of using alcohol to “take the edge off” and what life is like for someone after facing her demons head-on.
