Rebekah Nowell: The Gift of Grief | The Hopeaholics Podcast

In this deeply moving episode of The Hopeaholics Podcast, guest Rebekah Nowell shares her extraordinary journey of resilience, healing, and transformation through profound trauma, addiction, and grief. Raised in the Mississippi Delta within a missionary family, Rebekah recounts a childhood shaped by her parents’ calling to serve abandoned children in Central America, where she lived in Costa Rica and Honduras until her teens. Her life took a devastating turn in December 2012 with the tragic loss of her two-year-old son, Brennan, in an accident involving her father, triggering a decade-long struggle with cocaine, alcohol, and unprocessed trauma from childhood molestation and eating disorders. A pivotal moment in April 2023 marked the beginning of her recovery, as she quit cocaine cold turkey, pursued accelerated resolution therapy, grief counseling, and later achieved 16 months of sobriety from alcohol by 2025, despite facing significant health challenges like low iron and gastrointestinal issues. Guided by faith and a supportive recovery community, Rebekah now dedicates her life to reaching women secretly grappling with addiction, particularly those hiding their pain behind a polished facade in places like Orange County. Her recitation of the “Holes” poem by Scott Lewis beautifully encapsulates her journey from despair to purpose, emphasizing the power of safe spaces to heal shame and inspire hope. This episode is a testament to the strength found in vulnerability and the universal connection forged through shared pain.

CJ Sparxx: The Bigger Life After Sobriety | The Hopeaholics Podcast

CJ Sparxx’s journey from a 15-year battle with addiction to over six years of vibrant sobriety is a raw, inspiring story of resilience and transformation. Raised in a strict, religious Northern California farm household, CJ felt like an outsider, her insecurities fueling an early reliance on alcohol to quiet a “loud” inner voice. By her late teens, addiction escalated, leading to multiple DUIs, eviction from home, and lost relationships, culminating in a four-day relapse that laid bare her disease’s grip. A turning point came when a sober friend’s joy—and his heartbreaking withdrawal after her chaotic behavior—pushed her into AA, marking the start of a life rebuilt on self-worth. CJ reframed her alcoholic tendencies as a strength, channeling her relentless drive into confidence and purpose. She overcame self-hatred, learning to assert her needs without apology, and rebuilt family ties, now connecting regularly with her parents and sober brother with empathy for their struggles. CJ’s advocacy emphasizes curating positive mental inputs to sustain sobriety, from motivational content to the power of visualization. From earning the nickname “Wolverine” for enduring chaos to embracing vulnerability as a recovery advocate, her story is one of redemption and hope.

Sabyn Mayfield: Crossing The Bridge to Recovery | The Hopeaholics Podcast

Sabyn Mayfield, CEO of Brigid Recovery, delivers a raw and inspiring account of his 20-year journey through addiction, trauma, and recovery. As a former client of Brigid Recovery, a trauma-focused residential workshop in Bowling Green, Kentucky, Sabyn shares how his struggles with sobriety and identity, compounded by a career in film and music, led him to confront deep-seated family-of-origin trauma. He emphasizes the relativity of trauma, the transformative power of addressing shame, and the importance of becoming one’s own loving parent, offering insights into Brigid’s non-medical approach that prioritizes “what happened to you” over diagnosis. Sabyn’s candid reflections on spiritual bottoms, the necessity of daily recovery practices, and the liberation of the Ninth Step resonate deeply, while his personal anecdotes—such as his familial connection to Dolly Parton and his mother’s Emmy-winning casting career—add a unique layer to his story. Recorded with authenticity and humor, this episode underscores the podcast’s mission to foster hope, highlighting Sabyn’s shift from chaos to empowerment and his commitment to helping others heal, making it a must-listen for anyone navigating recovery or seeking to understand trauma’s lasting impact.

Chris Eckfeldt: "GOD SUSPENDED ME"  | The Hopeaholics Podcast

Chris Eckfeldt’s unforgettable journey through darkness to hope will grip your soul. In 2023, a catastrophic mountain biking accident in San Clemente shattered Chris’s spine, robbing him of his legs and thrusting him into a world of unrelenting physical and emotional turmoil. Once an avid rider tearing down trails with the MTB Maniacs, he faced the stark reality of paralysis, his life forever altered in a single, harrowing moment. The protective “bubble” of rehab in Denver offered a temporary sanctuary, where logistics were managed and hope flickered. But returning home to the same streets and faces that once defined his vibrant life was a crushing awakening—every task, from bathroom access to car travel, became a labyrinth of adaptation. Job loss struck like a sledgehammer, stripping away his sense of purpose, while wrong medications, particularly Cymbalta, spiraled him into a vortex of anxiety and despair, fueling two suicide attempts that nearly ended his story. Yet, in the depths of that darkness, Chris found a lifeline. Through relentless self-advocacy, he secured the right medication—low-dose Wellbutrin—restoring clarity and stability. Bolstered by his wife Domini’s unwavering support, who stood firm through fear and heartache, and a renewed faith that saw divine purpose in his survival, Chris began to rebuild. He discovered that his pain could light the way for others, not through grand gestures but through the raw, honest sharing of his journey.

Tommy Gunn: Adult Films Saved His Life | The Hopeaholics Podcast

In this raw and deeply human episode of The Hopeaholics Podcast, we sit down with legendary adult film star Tommy Gunn, whose decades-long career includes hundreds of film credits, industry awards, and mainstream appearances—but behind the fame lies a powerful story of pain, perseverance, and redemption. Tommy opens up about discovering his mother’s suicide at 27, a trauma that shattered his world and sent him spiraling through years of emotional suppression, addiction, and physical devastation—including a career-ending injury that left him in a wheelchair and a failed marriage that pushed him deeper into drug use. At his lowest point, alone in an apartment with a loaded gun and a goodbye note scrawled on a chalkboard, Tommy came face to face with death—and chose life. Ironically, the adult film industry became his turning point, giving him discipline, direction, and the unexpected path to survival. From blue-collar roots to rock bottom and back again, Tommy’s story is a gripping reminder that healing isn’t linear—and that hope can rise from even the darkest places.
