From Rags to Riches discusses two latina entrepreneurs perspective of what life looked like when they were products of their environments. Rags is depicted as fixed mindset, living a life of unmanageable addiction and alcoholism. Riches is depicted as a growth mindset. Flourishing with self awareness, challenging the status quo and pivoting under pressure rather than succumbing to the hardships that they are faced.

Listen in to hear about the previous and current trial tribulations along with the growth mindset that has been developed through practicing sobriety. Both individuals identify as entrepreneurs, latinas and sober women. This is shared to bring inspiration and hope to others dealing with imposter syndrome, lack of self awareness and or denial. We shed light and hold the mirror up to see where we have been and take a moment to have gratitude to where we are today.

On this episode we have Frederick (Fredy) Uceda is a Coach, Motivator, Recovering Alcoholic and Father to a beautiful autistic son. For years he worked as an HR Professional with the focus on creating a positive work environment for his employees. He then took that skill and applied into personal training and group fitness. The truth is, we are all working through something. Life is not easy. Yes, Fredy identifies as an addict but he is much more than that. He discovered that recovery is the most selfless act one can enter. Frederick is healthier and happier in recovery but the real winners are his loved ones, his family, and most importantly his son Xavier. Frederick declares that one should have purpose, no matter what they do in life and his son is his purpose. He has also partnered with several autism and recovery communities and has raised over $10,000 for various causes and holds a Burpees for Autism fundraiser every year to benefit the Doug Flutie Foundation.

He now lives his life trying to help others get to a healthier place in life through exercise, lifting weights and spreading positive energy to those he encounters. Frederick is also very transparent about his recovery journey, his struggles, his triggers, his demons and his successes. He is now 7 years sober but his work is just getting started. Every day is a new opportunity and every day alive is a reason to be grateful. So make every day count.

Were you in the hospitality service industry? Were you challenged with drinking heavily during specific times of your life?  Are you a parent , spouse that battles with the bottle? 

Listen to this episode that highlights another Sober inspiration who is also a podcast host. His name is Ray and he is the host of Stack'n'Days. Not Your Drinking buddy Podcast mission is to bring you sober inspiration to stay sober another minute, hour or day. Don't forget to like and share. 

Ray has never shied away meeting life’s challenges. From emigrating to the US as a Canadian, moving from the East Coast to the Pacific Northwest, to seizing the opportunity to start a family business in Africa. One of the constants amid these distinct eras in his life was his alcohol. Like for many of us, Ray enjoyed a shot of whiskey, a flute of champagne, or a dark moody bottle of red wine often punctuating moments of joy, celebration, sadness, anger and even desperation. 

In becoming a husband and father, combined with isolation from the COVID pandemic, Ray realized that his relationship with alcohol had become incongruent with the person he wanted to be for his family - and most importantly for himself. In that he pursued the challenge of personal and mental well being, starting with giving up alcohol.  

Since starting his sobriety journey in September 2021,  Ray took great solace in listening to other individuals’ stories of sobriety through podcasts. Feeling less alone and hearing success stories empowered him to continue his own sobriety journey and self-discovery. As healing as these stories were, something important was missing. 

Many podcasts, influencers and prominent voices in this space are not narratives representing the Black experience or take into account the unique context of what “health” “wellness” or “sobriety” means to the black community and other people of color. To pay it forward, and progress in his own journey, Ray developed the Podcast Stack n Days as a way to elevate, explore and share voices of color and perspectives in the sobriety and wellness space and help draw power and community along the way.
