In this week's podcast Coach Blu speaks with Carrie Steinseifer Bates, a 3-time Gold Medal Olympic Swimmer having competed in the 1984 world Olympics in Los Angeles California. Listen as she describes life just below the waterline, growing up in an alcoholic home, and how she used the freedom of the pool to escape the world, discovering the water as a safe place where she would work out her fears, frustrations, and a good place to work out emotions because “No one can see you cry under the water”. Following her 1984 Olympic success, Carrie missed qualifying for the 1988 Olympics.  As that chapter closed she continued to progress in College,  swimming and coaching, starting a family, and becoming a mother. Unfortunately, addiction also began to take a stronghold and as she describes it, distracted her from what her true and authentic purpose was.   Listen as she describes her recovery in aspects of several treatment episodes and then coming to an awakening that she faced and knew the only way to genuine recovery and sobriety would be laid upon the foundations of honesty. Having multiple treatment episodes under her belt, it was as though they were false starts on an Olympic journey of recovery that she learns from and ultimately takes the dive into deeper understanding, emotional balancing, and overcoming adversity. After 18 years absent from the water in the pool of life, she took that plunge and reestablish her commitment as a mother, mentor, and ultimately an Ironman triathlete.  Carrie says, “True Champions never let the fire inside them die out”, and she is an example of what can happen if you truly want to go for gold in recovery.  Today she continues to maintain an active lifestyle and has found her true calling in assisting those on the starting blocks of sobriety by working at Hazleton Betty Ford in Oregon. This is a podcast not to be missed, as you will feel the passion she has for life noticed after gold in the Olympics but also, life after addiction.  Please join Addict to Athlete’s Patreon support page and help us turn the mess of addiction into the message of sobriety! https://www.patreon.com/addicttoathlete For more information on Team Addict to Athlete and Addiction Recovery Podcasts please visit our website. https://www.AddictToAthlete.org

On today's live call-in show Coach Blu answers listener questions and takes a deep dive into respect. In addiction recovery the lines of respect become blurred, and women are subjected to less than appropriate behavior and expectations. Listen as we describe the need for respect and the measure of any society is how it treats women. Also, we follow the Hero's Journey to help you get out of the ruts life sometimes puts you in.  Please join Addict to Athlete’s Patreon support page and help us turn the mess of addiction into the message of sobriety! https://www.patreon.com/addicttoathlete For more information on Team Addict to Athlete and Addiction Recovery Podcasts please visit our website. https://www.AddictToAthlete.org

Review of Nielsens and Culvers Frozen Custard

It's time to level up the respect for one another. On today's podcast, Savannah and Coach Blu discuss respect. As a father and daughter team listen as they talk about what they see in today's social and emotional climate and what needs to change. Together they process respect as a concept that refers to the ability to value and honor another person, both his or her words and actions, even if we do not approve or share everything he or she does. They touch on accepting the other person and not trying to change them and not judging them by their attitudes, behaviors, or thoughts. It is not expecting someone to be otherwise.
