Vanessa's story... Addiction, Recovery, Sobriety, these are all big words and hard to talk about. Vanessa shares the ups and downs of her journey from Addict to Sobriety to Author....to one hell of a human! #thebestdecisionweevermade

This week we had a dear old friend and expert lender, Shannon on deck to talk about the struggles of buying a home; especially after a divorce, break up, and poor financial decisions. Learning that it can be done and to stay the path. Starting over one credit score at a time.

Love them through it or leave... This week we talk about our struggles of loving addicts in our lives. Friends, partners, children, loved ones, no matter who it is ; its hard and it hurts. They have to love their sobriety more than you, and only them and them alone can make the change.

Between Flying back and forth between Iowa and Chicago and then getting sick we took a week off from the studio. I decided to re release an episode that is near and dear to me. SHAME WILL NOT HOLD ME BACK

We have all played the game they're a 10 but... I brought my friends Juliet and Skip on deck to talk about things we can accept and things we just cant. Is it pointed shoes? Eating Gravy? What's your threshold ?

We decided to kick off Season 6 with our first micro-dose episode. We hit the deck to check in with ourselves and let ya'll know how we are doing, and most importantly to thank all of our listeners; we couldn't do it without you. xoxo

Heath Thompson joined us on deck to talk about his remarkable 250 pound weight loss journey. His mindset, motivation, and determination to change his life for the better is inspiring and heartwarming.

"Motivation is what gets you started. Determination is what helps you finish what you started.”

Growing up with an addicted parents is never ideal, but it’s a reality faced by millions of families everyday. Many children who grew up with addicted parents carry the effects of their experiences into adulthood. Abby sat down with us to tell her story and how she turned her dark past in to a bright future for herself.

This week we sat down with my good friend of 30 years, Dusty. Her story of trauma, sobriety, redemption, healing, and literally surfing off into the sunset is beautiful, inspiring and powerful....
