Recovery Hour

Eden began her career as a consultant and beauty expert in Beverly Hills. She gained critical acclamation after appearing in the popular BRAVO TV series The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She entered the show on its seventh season and captured the attention of the viewers in no time. As the daughter of the late beauty icon Vidal Sassoon and Beverly Adams, Eden is no stranger to the LA lifestyle, that once brought her to her knees. Living in recovery from alcohol use disorder, and being a self-professed addict, Eden shares with Lori all things family (Dad, ex-husband, children and siblings). A tender moment when discussing Eden's sister Katya's untimely (but timely) death. There is no topic off limits as Eden openly discusses her time (and current opinions) of the Bravo TV show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the struggles of being a single momma (though also the 3rd wheel of her ex-husband [baby daddy] and new wife's relationship), her new adventure with SWAY TV and AMAZON LIVE... oh, and the chaffing that occurs when riding the Peloton exercise bike. These two get right in to it and promise a follow up episode as they have just scratched the surface of The Woman Behind the Name. FIND EDEN:

LORI HOSTS A CASUAL CHAT WITH CO-MODERATOR/COACHES CINDI & REBEKAH TO TALK ALL THINGS INTIMACY.

CINDI ROBERTS

Sex and sobriety - a pretty unique combination and a topic that many people avoid. After finding recovery from alcohol in November 2016, I struggled with how to combine my professional experience in sexuality education and my newfound passion for helping women on their sober journey. Why weren't women talking about sex in the meeting rooms? Was I the only one struggling with confidence in the bedroom without the mask of alcohol? The more I started the conversations, the more women opened up. So many women are navigating intimate relationships in sobriety and have concerns, questions and fear. That's when I realized that talking about sex openly is a gift and I wanted to share my knowledge with the recovery community!

My clients would describe me as a positive motivator, attentive listener and gentle teacher that also tells it like it is. I want to focus on the future while acknowledging your past and helping you move through the difficult stuff. I know it can be scary or difficult to ask for help and to open up your world to another person. Knowing this, I take special care to provide a relaxed, supportive and non-judgemental space for you.

I have been devoted to serving the public health community for over 20 years. After earning my Master's degree in Health Education, I knew that I wanted to specialize in the field of human sexuality and help shatter the taboo around the gift of sex. I worked in the community health setting and the hospital system and gained more public health knowledge with each new endeavor.

For 13 years, I built a prosperous $2.6 million business in the network marketing industry. I not only had one of the largest teams in the multi-million dollar company, but I served on the esteemed Board of Directors for 8 years. In this position, I was able to train thousands of consultants in sexual health education and product knowledge (yep, we sold sex toys!) I retired from the company in 2016 to create my dream job of motivational speaking and sexual health consulting. My zone of genius was (and still is) helping individuals feel more confident about their own sexuality and intimate relationships.

In 2018, I decided to earn my certificate as a Certified Professional Coach and Certified Professional Recovery Coach from the International Association of Professional Recovery Coaches. I also completed the She Recovers Coaching program to help women in recovery from a variety of issues. So, I talk about sex, alcohol, grief, divorce, intimacy.... all of it!

REBEKAH ROSE WALL

On my journey of healing and recovery, I realized that self-care isn't just about activities or events that make you feel good. It has to do with how you speak to yourself, loving yourself and cultivating things like

Grace

Courage

Confidence

Boundaries

Worthiness

Authenticity

Enough-ness

Self-Acceptance

Self-Compassion

It's also about cultivating community and joyful relationships. It's about taking our yoga off that mat, and living it each and everyday.

Which is what inspired me to create this space, a space to cultivate a lifestyle that awakens your innate ability to befriend your body, bring peace to your heart and stillness to your mind.

Starting her career in tech at 16 years old Kelsey hustled for a decade in product marketing.

In 2015 she confronted her issues with alcohol and got sober! Finding her "happy place" in the kitchen, Kelsey began baking, stumbling on a great egg-sub that made her cookie dough safe to eat! She then took the leap, quit her career and started Doughp in 2017 continuing to share her story in hopes of inspiring others.

Kelsey's claim to fame was not only making a splash on Shark Tank, being named Forbes 30 Under 30, and honored with the Vegas 40 Under 40 designation.

Lori and Kelsey chat all things business and recovery, including personal stories of failed relationships, successful business ventures, and the complementary bottle of wine from the Marriott, that turned into a day of drinking, black outs and waking up in a stranger's apartment.

Sharing her story of hope and inspiration… riddled with fire & passion, Kelsey does not hold back and shares her most vulnerable self with us.

This… is Kelsey Moreira.

A gut-wrenching 100% raw & real guest interview. Mischelle tells Lori she has never ever met a woman who drank like I did. It was ugly; it was hardcore; and it was uncommon for someone who always held a career in executive management where NO ONE talked about addiction. There was A LOT of guilt and shame surrounding her alcoholism.

Mischelle considered herself a low-bottom drunk by all definitions imagined. She came from a place of inter-generational trauma involving sexual abuse, suicide, and issues with food. She drank so long and so hard that she completely blew-up her pancreas and now relies on an insulin pump for survival.

A chronic relapser, it took Mischelle 17 years to string three sober months together... having 3 years for the first time ever! In her words, "the only thing I ever ever did right, was I kept coming back after, six DUIs, 3 prison bids, 12 ICU stints, and 2 comas; I continued to drink; until I didn't." Joyously so many women are finding recovery early and earlier in their journey before they have fallen to the complete depths of hell.

In January of 2020, after drinking 1 gallon of tequila and ingesting 600 pills, Sarah found herself waking up in a hospital, pissed as all get out that the administration did not follow her "do not resuscitate" orders. Having been in and out of numerous treatment facilities, separated from her husband and child for years, suffering from mental and physical illnesses since childhood, with no will to live, Sarah's self-worth was in debt and she felt it time to file for bankruptcy.

With the power of prayer and universal good juju from a slew of strangers responding to a social media post, Sarah miraculously came out of a 5-day coma with all her faculties about her.

This is the story of Sarah Gray Perez ;

In this episode Lori & Sarah discuss:

• Mental health/illness with the intent to educate and normalize conversation
• Co-occurring disorder
• Self-love and self-worth
• Grief and loss
• Suicide ideation
• Marital stress; separation
• Loss of child custody
• Degenerative back disorder and associated chronic pain
• Child diagnosis
  • Bi-polar disorder
  • Generalized anxiety disorder
  • Borderline personality disorder
  • PTSD
  • Dissociative disorder
• Over medicating for mental illness
• How the dollar store can bring joy to your recovery

As a woman on the other side of addiction, Shantell sheds her skin to Lori by sharing her personal journey to the creation of this record. Riddled with family chaos, drama, and death, Shantell looked to her faith to lead her in a safe direction. Shantell and Lori have a beautifully authentic conversation about all things recovery and the upcoming release of Shantell's new recovery album One Step Closer: Songs to Recover By.

Oh, and Lori talks about the time she (alcohol) made the choice to sit and pout in ditch instead of watch Old Dominion's private residence concert (pre-bazillion albums sold, awards won and freaky fan girls like me.)

If you are the family member of someone suffering in active addiction, mental illness, or other life unrest, please know that you are not alone. This story will have your head nodding with a consistent "yeah me too" as these two women share their vulnerable side to each other.

In typical Recovery Hour fashion, there is lots of laughter, goofiness AND… you guessed it, singing! You do not want to miss this episode!

PRESS RELEASE: Nashville-based artist/songwriter Shantell Ogden will soon release One Step Closer: Songs to Recover By an acoustic album with songs about the journey of addiction recovery. The nine-song album was fully fan-funded and will be released on February 19, 2021.

Each song tells a relevant story about addiction; from the gritty rock bottom of "St. Augustine" and "High Way Calls" to the hopeful "One Step Closer" and "Hand Up." Most families have experienced drug and alcohol addiction including Shantell's.

"Some of the most disturbing headlines during the pandemic have been about the increase in overdose and addiction due to stress, financial strain, depression, and isolation," said Shantell. "These songs shed a light on the struggles of addiction. There's a kind of catharsis and validation in hearing raw emotions expressed in a song - music is powerful."

Hundreds of albums will be donated to those in recovery programs across the U.S. In addition, fan-funded concerts are also being planned to share the music live.

"It is our hope that this music will touch hearts and inspire healing," added Shantell.

Just when you think you've heard it all... Listen to Lori's candid conversation with Danielle about her journey to recovery (alcohol, pills) and all the shit that happened before... WHOA, you won't believe it.

BIO: Danielle Gregorich (known as DG) is an Amazon Best Selling author, recently self-publishing her book: Stroke of Sobriety. A 36-year-old Arizona native, Air Force wife, and mother of two children, Danielle is a multiple suicide attempt survivor, a kidney cancer survivor, and a stroke survivor. DG started writing about her sobriety publicly in 2018 after she suffered a massive stroke four months into her recovery journey. That stroke took away her ability to speak, read, and write. Her speech therapist suggested that she started writing to stimulate her brain function to regain these abilities. She began writing in the early morning each and every day. She wrote authentically and raw about her struggles with sobriety, marriage, and motherhood. Writing quickly became cathartic and therapeutic and played a crucial role during her first year of sobriety. During DG's first year of sobriety, she overcame multiple struggles and obstacles. Sobriety did not come easily for Danielle, but she embraced the suck of sobriety with faith and hope that she would eventually get back her happiness. She currently works at a treatment center in Mesa, AZ. She is a public speaker sharing her experience, strength, and hope anytime she gets the opportunity. She wrote Stroke of Sobriety - The Essential Daily Guide - Embracing the suck of sobriety, with hope that she will inspire someone keep fighting in their first year of sobriety.

Lori heats things up by talking all things money (and personal "hall passes") with Certified Money and Recovery Coach, Linda Parmar. Linda's upcoming Workshop "New Year, New Money" is FREE and you're invited!

Here are a few major discussions in this episode:

• having a better relationship with your money
• having a fresh start with finances, mindset and new ideas
• DEBT is a four-letter word (and not the like the ones I say all the time)
• Certain behaviors associated with addiction and/or overspending
• addiction transference (fancy word for trading your addiction)
• NICHE... how the F@ck do you pronounce this word?
• Resolutions can be triggering, lets focus on starting fresh
• Be inspired by money

A few words from Linda:

"Big things have happened. I have recently left my job as a Financial Advisor that I had for 20 years. I left my position as I had been doing my money coaching on the side for two years. Money Coaching is my passion, and it became clear to me on what I needed to pursue full time. I love what I do.

Let's back up a bit, I want you to know where I have come from and where I am now.

I was a financial disaster. Yes, you read that right, a DISASTER. I worked in the financial industry but I wasn't paying attention.

I got sober in March 2014. I wish I could tell you that when this happened it got better. It did not. It actually got worse regarding my spending. I was looking for things outside of myself to make myself happy. I was emotionally spending money; impulsive buying was something I was VERY familiar with.

In 2016 is when I really started to work on my spending issues and my passion of my recovery really started. My mentor suggested I become a money coach. That initially felt like I would be a fraud since I was such a mess financially. Someone said to me "Sometimes you need to teach what you have to learn". Life changing moment.

I started my money coach training which involved me getting my own money coaching. I got the opportunity to really work through my "stuff" and it was life changing. I continued to finish my Money Coaching Certification and in the meantime I also completed my She Recovers® Coach training and my Certified Recovery Coach training.

I officially became a Recovery Coach that specializes in Financial Recovery.

I continue everyday to work my Financial Recovery and focus on what is right for me and my relationship with money. It is such beautiful experience and I love that my life now involves everything money! So grateful.

My coaching style is to really focus on your relationship with money. I love to start with how you currently feel about money and focus on what you want to change and how to do that. If we can change our behaviours then the numbers will change with it. I love getting specific with my clients on goals THEY want to achieve and what feels good to them.

It starts with the foundation on how you feel and what you want to change. Running numbers can be overwhelming but it gets ALOT easier when you know why you want to pay attention to your money.

I am living proof that you can turn your story around. I never thought I would feel financially free. I never thought it was possible. It is.

You're worth it. Linda xo"
