Hey everyone, it's Elizabeth aka Bizzy, and I've got something special for you in this episode. I sat down with my good friend Pete Sousa, and let me tell you, we dove deep. Pete opened up about his raw, real journey from battling addiction to embracing sobriety. We didn't just skim the surface; we got into the nitty-gritty—the struggles, the surprising doors that sobriety opened, and how it reshaped his world, both at home and at work.

We talked about the power of having a tribe, those folks who get you, and how they're crucial when you're on this path. And yes, we touched on the spiritual stuff too—because recovery isn't just physical or mental; it's soul-deep.

 What struck me most was our chat about grabbing life by the horns, saying 'yes' when new opportunities knock, even when the past tries to pull you back with whispers of shame or the tough task of mending broken bridges.

Pete and I got real about the podcast life too—about how sharing our stories isn't just talking; it's about connecting, healing, and maybe, just maybe, helping someone out there feel a little less alone.

We dug into the ongoing quest of figuring out who we are, the role faith plays in our lives, and how crucial it is to own our narrative, to cast off the shadows of shame. 

This conversation? It's about living in the now, about the evolution that sobriety brings into your life, continuously shaping us, teaching us to grow, to change, and to thrive.

So, if you're up for a heartfelt, no-filter talk on life, recovery, and everything in between, stick around. This one's for anyone who believes in the power of change and the strength of the human spirit.
