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.

In episode 484 of Busy Living Sober, I share my thoughts as I prepare for a trip to Vermont to visit my daughter during my birthday weekend. 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. Join me for an honest and personal conversation about acceptance, family, and the ongoing journey of self-improvement.

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.”
