Emerge. Evolve. Lead.

For this week’s podcast episode, we will get to know about Kristina Dennis - a sought-after speaker, teacher, and guide. As an expert in adversity, Kristina walks people through trauma, divorce, diagnosis, and disease into a life transformed. It is her life’s work to show people how to release events of their past so they can become free of limiting beliefs.

Kristina Dennis had a difficult childhood and is now raising a son with special needs while going to school and building her business as a Recovery Coach. Kristina got sober when she was 27 on May 6, 1997. We met on Clubhouse and for someone who grew up not being loved and accepted, she is an amazing mom who practices unconditional love.

You can reach Kristina at www.kristinadennis.com.

My guest today is a Breakthrough Coach, and her name is Molly Nichole Murphy. Molly’s been sober since 2014 and she’s been helping women in sales and entrepreneurs that are in high ticket sales to have breakthroughs in their life and business.

Molly shares how she finally faced her own shadow self and learned to dive deep into her own humanity even though she started off in her program as Little Miss Perfect. Over a period of time in sobriety, she was led into a transformational training program where she was able to break through all of her own self-limiting beliefs and saw what she was capable of achieving, and realized she could help other people find their purpose and help them uncover what they were capable of doing.

You can find Molly Nichole Murphy on Instagram here and she’d love for you to join her Facebook ReCreate Recovery Group for women.

My guest today is Dan Reeves, whom I met on Clubhouse a few months ago and, he also has a podcast called The Spiritual Underground in which he featured me and my story just recently.

Dan had a corporate career as an engineer for most of his adult life but alcoholism took him down a dark road. Threatened with 6-20 years of incarceration, he had the gift of desperation and turned his life over to God. His sentence was reduced to 1 year at home and now he’s stepped into leadership running a men’s retreat and helping many in recovery.  

Dan shares how important it is to be vulnerable so that your support group really “sees” you and can be there to support you. And when you do that and turn, your will and your life over to a Higher Power of your understanding, miraculous things happen. This is why he never ended up serving that prison sentence that he was promised. And his WHOLE life changed.

Dan points out that our life situations seem to resolve as soon as we change the old beliefs of feeling that there are limits or things that can’t happen. Now he works with people in recovery to help them change their beliefs because he KNOWS that everything just works out when you believe that your HP works in your life for Good.

If you want to tell your story on Spiritual Underground, you can go to Spiritualunderground.org or you can reach Dan at [email protected]

My guest on the podcast today is Vikki Rood, a sober leader who is helping high-performing women who are overworked, step into their best lives and create space for themselves without feeling guilty.

My guest today is Facilitator, Speaker and Author, Jesse Harless, sober since Dec 2005. As CEO of Entrepreneurs in Recovery®, he facilitates highly experiential online and in-person events that help individuals and organizations harness their strengths and create purposeful visions. Jesse also holds a MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Rivier University, a HeartMath® certified trainer, and XCHANGE faculty member.

His addict dad left when he was 4 and it affected Jesse very deeply. To cope, he turned to online gaming, and pornography was his first addiction as a teenager. Then at college, his drinking began in earnest and it was very clear he was drinking in excess and quickly fell into hardcore drug addiction. Life got very dark for a while as he began ordering narcotics through the US mail and eventually got caught.

Jesse was facing 7-14 years in federal prison and it scared him straight into 12 step programs and therapy. He became fully immersed in recovery and was able to overcome panic disorder and heal other trauma from his life by using daily practices that he talks about in his book  If Not You, Then Who? Harness Your Strengths To Shift From Addiction to Abundance.

Now, Jesse is a professional facilitator to help others become Recovery Coaches and is deeply immersed in spreading the message that recovery is possible.

In this solo episode, I am sharing a way to get to know yourself better with a topic near and dear to my heart: Personality. It’s helpful to ALL people, not just sober people, to really understand what motivates you and what stresses you out. There is a direct relationship between how much I understand why I make choices, what motivates me and where my weaknesses lie, to how I’ve made decisions in and for my career. 

And if you’ve ever worked a 12 step program then you will find many clues in your 4th step work on what kind of personality you have. And the character defects we discover can also be overcome the more you work on yourself, accept who you are, and allow your Higher Power to help remove those defects.  Being aware of them is the first step. You will change over time, in recovery and in maturity.

Note:  even though I sometimes say I'm an expert, I am STILL finding things to work on in myself. The growth really never stops! So long as you are willing to expand beyond your comfort zone, then there will be personal growth opportunities. And of course, then we can help others along the way so much better and quicker. Not just by being a role model, but by mentoring, sponsoring and leaders others to their greatness.

Note: The music you hear at the beginning and end of each podcast was created by my professional musician bother, Paul G. Ross. His company is called Pan Go and you can find him on YouTube Paul Graham Ross. Thanks Paul!

My guest today is Dr Bridget Cooper who I met several years ago in the entrepreneur circles here in Connecticut. I’ve been following her, watched her Ted Talk and was delighted when she said yes to being a guest on the podcast. Dr B is NOT a recovering alcoholic but she was raised by addicts and has been in Recovery ever since. She is an inspiration to anyone who has had a difficult childhood. She’s written 6 books and has accomplished so much while raising 2 daughters on her own.

You can find Dr Bridget Cooper online at www.drbridgetcooper.com and she has her own Amazon book store for her amazing books!

In the podcast, she recommends Little Landslides: How We Rise Up From Our Pain, Pain Rebel: How We Take Our Power Back, and StuckU: The 5-Step Course To Unlocking Your Inner Awesome. 

Also, don’t forget to check out her TedX Talk called: The Secret to Making Life Hurt Less.

Ginger and I met through networking 6 months ago and we got to catch up a bit in this episode. I am so amazed by how much a person can accomplish when sober! Ginger has done exactly that. Sober since October of 2019, she works as a Recovery Coach facilitator, has written a book, and designed a process to help others with their transformation. There is SO much happening in the country to help people in recovery and people like Ginger are at the forefront.

As a leader, Ginger is not only educating people in recovery on how to be a Recovery Coach, she is also spending time educating the police force, superior court personnel, parole officers and other law enforcement folks so they can more effectively deal with addicts who get into trouble with the law. Yay! We need more people like her!

Ginger is the Founder of Choices Recovery Training and you can find out more about her soon to be released book, “My Choices, My Life” by visiting her at Gingerross.com

Have you been in a situation that you just can’t seem to handle, and before you know it, you already see yourself dependent on alcohol or any other substance just to feel at ease?

For this week’s podcast episode, I was able to have a Nurse Practitioner who’s also a friend from my home group, Michelle Steele, as a guest. Michelle found herself divorced and alone with 2 children after another failed relationship. With 2 small children and a pile of responsibilities as a single parent, the stress got worse; and so did her drinking before it finally came to a boiling point and she got the help she needed. Still, the struggles continued. But now, after 3 years of sobriety, she is on track for another degree and in a leadership position in her practice. 

Listening to this episode will let you find out how she had an amazing transformation.

If you’d like to contact Michelle you can reach her at: [email protected].
