The Unhooked Podcast

Back again with a friend from the rooms! 

Jessica shares openly...she doesn't pull punches, even when it comes to the notion that her "own default is crazy."  I get it!  Trust me. 

I love listening to her in the rooms.  Hearing, "I'm Jessica..." also signals me to sit up and listen because she is about to share.  I know she will describe something wild, hard, fearful or painful that she has been through, and then land that plane with self-discovery, ownership and ultimately—victory. 

Jessica is proof positive that there is just something about those rooms...that works (if you work it). 

Listen in to the first half of her story as Jessica brings the recovery! 

The Unhooked Podcast can also be found on Itunes, Google Play Music, Spotify, Stitcher, Overcast and wherever most podcasts can be found.

Bouncing back after a cruel, cruel summer with a brand new pod! 

Part II of the Unhooked conversation is with Scott, a dear friend from the Nar Anon Rooms of Recovery. 

Scott's story has twists and turns that anyone can relate to.  From being introduced to his Father later in life, and finding out his Dad had been signed to play professional baseball, spent decades jumping on trains and being homeless, to finding his way into the rooms of recovery and changing lives him... 

Onto Scott's marriage that led him through the heartache and turmoil of a spouse addicted to powerful prescriptions... 

To years later seeing the disease show up in his beautiful, young son. Scott dove into recovery and absorbed the healing in ways that have carried him through the valley of the shadow of death.  He is a wonderful example of beauty for ashes, strength, kindness and the fine people we find in the rooms.  

Tune in to Unhooked to hear the second half of Scott's incredible story!

We are definitely living in trying, unpredictable times!   

This week on the Unhooked Podcast, friends Ruth and Beau return and bring the recovery for times that are strange, stressful and uncertain.  If you are feeling intense pressure, and feeling alone in it...listen in to the concepts of recovery that we have found comforting and helpful in trying times. 

The Unhooked Podcast can also be downloaded on Itunes, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Play Music and wherever most podcasts can be heard.  

One of my favorite people this week, Sean from the rooms I personally attend. 

Sean, often called the "Tea Guy" for his masterful way of finding peace when chaos hits, brings the recovery and stories that are all too relatable in this episode of the Unhooked Podcast.   

Listen in as he describes the journey of his young family!

Today’s "Unhooked" conversation is with someone I connected with over social media, which I love.  She is someone who gets it. 

Kylie generously shares her story of being deeply affected by addiction with more than one family member (like many of us), which includes the death of her Mother.   As I said, she gets it and she is open about it.  We need more like her!  People who share their experience help us all find comfort in the fact that we are not alone. To quote her from her page, Addicts Ripple... "Everyone wants to feel like they relate to someone.  

Unless you have lived this life, or suffered a loss of this magnitude you won't understand it." That is speaking my language, our language.   It is SO true.  Which is why support is life saving, in my opinion. 

Listen in as Kylie and I discuss the effects on your own personality when it comes to loving someone who has an addiction; from becoming an over-analyzer, to repeating relationship conflict within friendships...she shares a similar journey of realization and the patchwork process of healing and recovering from patterns of dysfunction. 

You can find Kylie on Facebook as well as her personal page : https://addictsripple.com/ Listen in and check her out!

Greek word "IASIS" meaning: Healing.  There are many types, paths and processes when it comes to healing and recovery.  

Recently, I have become curious about the process and healing effects of a treatment called, IASIS.   So I thought I would record a podcast as I learn about it myself!   

Janelle, a recovering family member as well as a trained and certified IASIS practitioner returns to the podcast to educate us and answer questions, as well as describe who Micro Current Neuro Feedback might be a helpful for. 

Listen in as she shares stories and successes ranging from addiction, PTSD, anxiety to autism,  We find it to be fascinating stuff!  I even discovered a practitioner opening in my hometown.
