Robert "Bob" Stark reached out to me months ago to see if he could come on Busy Living Sober and I am so happy that I said yes! 

Bob has been sober for over 9 years and his life has so many examples of God’s little winks. One example of the many he shares in his story is when he met his wife Savanna for the first time at a small town bakery in Alaska. 

Bob served in our military and has given back in many ways. It is my pleasure to share his story of experience, strength and hope. 

Thank you Bob for coming on.

Jocelyn and I met when I first moved into my home in Delray. 

Jocelyn lived in Boston for 40 years having moved from South Africa at the age of 21. She recently moved to Delray, and has been a creative being all her life, she is a mixed media artist.  

A jewelry designer and most recently combining her knowledge as a therapist and an artist to help people find joy through “joy readings”.  

"Joy reading" refers to a conversation where you explore a person's past and present experiences to discover and highlight the sweet and joyful moments that represent their essence. These conversations are then transformed into symbolic mandalas, creating a unique and meaningful piece of art for the individual to cherish. It's a beautiful way of capturing and celebrating the positive and meaningful aspects of a person's life journey.

Newly sober and stress is starting to creep back in…you can’t go to your old stress reliever, a glass of wine…so what do you do???

Today I will talk about my new found loves and what are my coping mechanisms.

It is possible to stay sober and handle stress. I will admit that change is hard but not as hard as carrying water up a mountain to feed your family. You can do this by changing your mindset.

Today I reflect on what it was like to get sober, it isn’t easy but it is possible. 

We must buy into the fact that we must change! 

Change can be easy if we set our mind to it. 

Are you willing to walk through the uncomfortable feelings? It is all up to you. 

This disease is cunning, baffling and powerful.

On a side note, My thoughts go out to my friend that didn’t make it, he was a wonderful person and I pray that today he is free and out of the pain that he endured while he was on this planet.

I found Lizzie B on Instagram and I totally resonated with her journey and where she is today as an empty nester and going through menopause. 

Lizzie is a digital lifestyle host and social media influencer. She helps women embrace the "middle ages" by sharing tips, tricks, and interviews about looking and feeling your best when it comes to midlife and menopause. Lizzie B's audience knows she doesn't take herself too seriously, and viewers love following her entertaining behind-the-scenes stories on Instagram and TikTok. 

Lizzie also spent 20-plus years as an Emmy award-winning broadcast journalist and host. During that time, she interviewed everyone from celebrities to CEOs to presidents and developed the skills of storytelling and engaging viewers. 

If you ask Lizzie her favorite thing about switching from traditional media to digital, she’ll proudly tell you she can say just about whatever the eff she wants and no longer needs a full face of makeup to go on camera.

In 2023 I had to embrace huge changes and not take things so personally. Life is ever changing and it can be hard, frustrating and painful but you can manage. The world of estrangement has always been a part of my life and I absolutely hate it but, I have learned to navigate and let go….

Time is a huge tool! As human beings living in an age where things happen instantly knowing in your heart that it won't always be like this is a real comfort. 

Let go, breathe and have gratitude for the gifts you do have.

It’s a new year and time for reflection, inspiration, and light. 

It was such a pleasure to meet my new friend Kimberely La Farge, Berlin, LCSW.

Kimberley La Farge Berlin, LCSW, is an Integrative psychotherapist, and Level 3 IFS (Internal Family Systems) practitioner specializing in addiction and trauma. She has been providing expert clinical, consulting and training services worldwide for the past 20+ years. 
 
Her approach is grounded in spiritual traditions, merging ancient wisdom with modern neuroscience.As a person in long-term recovery, Kimberley knows the struggles of anyone seeking to recover from alcohol and/or other substance use disorders. 

Her own journey inspired her decades of research, writing, and presentations at regional, national, and international conferences.
 
Kimberley is a former professional dancer, an avid photographer, chef, and gardener. She lives in Leesburg, Virginia, with her husband and four rescue dogs.

Kimberley’s newest book, titled "Rise in Recovery: The Spiritual Path for Healing Addiction

Alcohol and substance abuse disorders have baffled medical practitioners for centuries. Addiction is more than a neurological or physical disorder. It is a malady that eats at the soul. Rise in Recovery: The Spiritual Path for Healing Addiction merges ancient wisdom with neuroscience and introduces the powerful effects of spiritual practices to heal the overall damages of addiction. It answers the questions, “What is spirituality, how do we find it, nurture it, and live it – and how do we apply it to healing from a soul-crushing disease?”

Unlike most books on the market that discuss “meditation” as a tool for recovery, this book discusses “spirituality” (of which meditation is a part) as a path to recovery. While neuroscientists have proven that spiritual practices positively affect and heal brain areas, no book has taken the wisdom of ancient spiritual guidance and applied it to treating addiction. It takes a unique and proven approach that breaks through outdated ideas to bring a sea-change in how we can achieve long-term recovery.
