Jordan Carroll never hit a rock bottom—but alcohol was quietly holding him back. In this episode, the Remote Job Coach and global entrepreneur opens up about life in the “grey area,” where drinking wasn’t a daily habit but still left damage he couldn’t ignore.

We talk about what led him to take a full year off alcohol (and why he thinks everyone should), how quitting helped him confront deeper compulsions, and how he rebuilt his identity from the inside out. Jordan shares tools he used to break habits, reframe identity, and create a life filled with clarity, creativity, and connection—without ever pushing an all-or-nothing mindset.

If you’re questioning your relationship with alcohol—or just ready to feel more like yourself—this episode offers insight, honesty, and a ton of practical takeaways.

Today’s episode is a little different — but it hits right at the heart of what this show is all about: small steps, no pressure, and building a life you actually feel good in. I'm talking with Bryan Driscoll, author of the goodness game! At 18, Bryan was on the verge of being homeless — until a stranger pulled over and offered him food and shelter. He’s created a movement around a simple framework to help people find their own way to give, to connect, and to feel better doing it. This lines up with so much of what we believe here: You don’t need to make some big dramatic change to reset your life. Let’s get into it.

If you’ve ever wondered what life might feel like without alcohol—even just for a while—this episode is for you. I’m breaking down why taking 90 days off can be one of the most powerful resets you can give your brain and body. I’ll share what actually happens during each phase, why 30 days often isn’t enough to create lasting change, and how to set yourself up to succeed (without needing to be perfect). You don’t have to label it. You don’t have to commit forever. But if you’re curious, this is one of the best experiments you can run.

Most people don’t fail at changing their drinking because they’re weak — they fail because they’ve been given the wrong approach. In this episode, I share the mindset shift that changed everything for me. It’s not about labels, shame, or quitting forever. It’s about finding a path that’s actually sustainable — one that works with how real behavior change happens. You’ll hear how this plays out inside the Sunnyside experience, plus insights from leading experts like Dr. Jason Kilmer and Dr. Andrew Tatarsky on why this approach is helping more people feel better, faster. If other methods haven’t worked for you, this is where to start.

In Part 1, Dr. Samantha Harte shared the personal story behind her shift from physical therapist to emotional healing guide—after losing her sister and realizing that true recovery requires more than just treating the body.

In this episode, she dives into how lasting transformation begins: by breaking emotional patterns, reframing trauma, and reconnecting with the part of ourselves we’ve long ignored.
She also explains how her modern take on the 12 Steps can help anyone—whether or not they relate to traditional recovery—start living with more clarity, self-trust, and joy.

When Samantha Harte lost her sister to addiction, she made a vow: she would help others heal not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually.
Today, Dr. Samantha Harte — licensed physical therapist, trauma-informed expert, and author of Breaking the Circuit — is a leading voice on emotional resilience, self-compassion, and breaking the deep-rooted patterns that keep us stuck.

In this powerful episode, Samantha shares how she evolved from a traditional 12-Step background to creating a modern, neuroscience-based approach for anyone feeling stuck or disconnected. Even if you don’t relate to the 12-Step world, her work offers a fresh and accessible path to healing — one rooted in breaking old emotional patterns, rebuilding self-trust, and reconnecting with your intuition.

We explore how "soul sickness" shows up in everyday life, why self-love isn't just a buzzword, and how small shifts in self-awareness can create lasting change.
If you’ve ever felt like something in your life isn’t lining up — even if you can't name exactly what — this conversation will hit home.
