When I Stop Fighting – The Podcast – Working through life’s Hurdles, Finding Purpose, our Support Systems, and the reward of continuing to improve ourselves, with my longtime friend, Norm Potter.

 Norm, a great friend of mine, dives into his story of how he found success, inside and outside himself; how he overcame the hurdles of his limiting thinking and started to see life and his journey differently. Becoming grateful for the solution centered way he lives, as well as how he teaches and coaches others to live in that way. It is so important to have our “why” and to move ourselves in the direction of that “why.”

When I Stop Fighting – The Podcast – The Joy of Recovery, Acceptance, Self-Awareness, and no more Hiding, with Nadine Mulvina, creator of “The Sober Butterfly” and host of  “The Sober Butterfly” podcast

 Nadine and I have a very honest and open conversation, starting with Nadine’s progression with alcohol, how the “badge of honor” carried itself through her drinking career, and how alcohol became a coping mechanism after a huge, unexpected loss in her life.

The social experiment of moderation didn’t work. Therapy was starting to take root. Becoming tired of the destructive life and coming to the point of not wanting the madness anymore. 

Moments of clarity that lead to a different, better, and more productive life.

When I Stop Fighting – The Podcast – Recovery, Healing, Al-Anon, A.A., and Recovering our Souls, with Reverend Rachel Harrison 

 Where we start can be so different for each of us. The difficulty of fitting in, the discomfort that life can be at times, and how we allow ourselves to let loose. How it can be easy to point the finger outside ourselves, instead of looking inside ourselves. How we all need to focus on our own journey of healing, and how the focus on others does not work. The power of our recovery journey and how those little seeds begin to germinate in us. The addict can rear it’s head in other areas of our lives, and how we need to remain diligent with ourselves. The 12 Steps is a spiritual program, for which we are grateful.

When I Stop Fighting – The Podcast – Embracing Honesty, Accountability, and Family, with Jon Skillman, creator of the Sober Dad Podcast (SDP) 

What a great conversation with a sober, loving and attentive stay at home dad about the normalization of drinking in our culture, the progression of alcoholism, and trying to control the progression. The cleansing nature of honesty with ourselves and others can be one of the most difficult, but also the most wonderful turning points in our lives. The power of accountability in life, in parenting, and how it helps us craft our lives in a positive way. How do we achieve and maintain our peace and serenity as time sober moves on. Grateful for life getting better and better as we continue on. 

When I Stop Fighting – The Podcast – Overcoming Adversity, Embracing Sobriety and Recovery, Rigorous Honesty, Meditation, and Clarity with Nate Kelly, Creator and Host of The Sobriety Diaries Podcast, as well as a Podcast Coach 

In our very interesting and impactful conversation, Nate shares his midwestern upbringing and powerful story with us, how he utilizes Self-Care as the basis for how he approaches each day and how his ventures and adventures outside of sobriety, but because of sobriety, allow him to attend to and help others. Nate and I talk about his allies in life, his use of the proper resources, the importance of goals, his success in the podcast space, and how he helps other podcasters get their message out.
