No one likes to talk about money, especially if drinking or using caused your financial life to go off the rails. In this episode, we talk about some of our lowest money moments, the shame (and busted credit scores) we've worked to overcome, and how the process of recovering our bank account bears striking resemblance to recovery from substance use disorder. We also offer our BIG SOBER ENERGY tip: financial edition, and Erin talks us through a stress-relief practice, perfect for calming the anxiety that creeps up when money issues get you down!

We all know people become ten times braver and meaner behind a keyboard. So why do we still take negative comments so personally? In this episode, we read some of the less-than-positive comments people have made on HLS social media posts and unpack the harmful recovery narratives living between the lines. (Spoiler alert: We don't believe only one type of person develops problems with alcohol or that there's only one way to quit!)

And, as always, we bring you a BIG SOBER ENERGY tip and a short meditation to help you ground and protect yourself from negative energy when it comes your way.

It's the annual Halloween party at the DOT. One agent is not feeling well.

Rudy has been having troubling dreams, the kind of dreams where he wakes up with scratches all over his body. Agents Bishop and Delaney are on the scene.

There never seems to be enough time—especially if alcohol is taking up a disproportionate amount of space in your life. How much time do we waste thinking about drinking, worrying about what we did while we were drinking, or recovering from drinking? 

Alcohol and its aftereffects not only rob you of productivity and enjoyment, but for some of us, it literally creates blank space where our memories should have been. Yikes!

In this episode, we rejoice in the many ways we’ve reclaimed our time (h/t Maxine Waters) since breaking the hangover cycle. Erin also gives us a mini-lesson in the neuroscience of morning hang-xiety, we share this week’s BIG SOBER ENERGY tip, and Adrienne leads a relaxing breath meditation.

Did you know that there are approximately 15% (~ 37.5 million) of adults aged 18 years and older who reports some trouble hearing and only 20-30% use amplification or hearing aid devices? In addition about 2-3 out of every 1000 children in the United States are born with hearing loss in one or both ears.

Dr. Natalie Phillips spends time with Taylor Dunlap, Programs Coordinator, and Brooklyn Pruter, Hearing Aid Project Administrator, for Sertoma and Hearing Charities of America.

Sertoma is a National Organization creating communities of change to serve many in need. Their mission is to improve the quality of life for those at risk or impacted by hearing loss through education and awareness. Hearing Charities of America supports those who are deaf or hard of hearing through awareness, volunteerism and philanthropy and provide resources for hearing professionals, manufacturers and individuals with hearing issues.

The National Hearing Aid Project is a unique model and one-of-a-kind collaboration created by Hearing Charities of America (HCOA). It addresses the increased demand for hearing aids by providing hearing aids to low-income individuals on a national scale. The project brings organizations and communities together so that each fulfills a specific role in providing hearing aids to the individuals that need them.

Everyone wants to put their best face forward, but when we're chronically dehydrated and pumping our liver full of toxins, our poor skin takes a real beating from the inside. In this episode, we talk about what happens to your skin once you give up booze, why we look worse before we look better, and a skin-related mind-hack that can motivate us to get and stay sober.

This week's BIG SOBER ENERGY tip will have your skin singing, plus Erin talks us through a modified version of the Pilates 100!

The holidays are a time when sobriety can feel less than magical. The pressure to be jolly and merry is high. In reality, though, being alcohol-free is a gift! To celebrate that, we devote this episode to the things that make November through January noticeably more enjoyable, less stressful—and WAY less cringe-inducing—now that we're off the sauce.

We also offer three helpful suggestions for navigating the holidays as a person in recovery, plus a short movement practice, and this episode's BIG SOBER ENERGY tip!
