From Chaos to Calm: Indy’s Year of Sobriety and Real Talk

Hey friend — meet Indy. She’s raw, real, and one year into sobriety after a life that looked perfect on the outside but was falling apart on the inside. In this episode she walks us through how the 12 Steps pulled her out of shame, a DUI, a messy divorce, and the loneliness of high-pressure success. She doesn’t sugarcoat the hard parts — the court dates, parenting chaos, and job loss — but she also shares the small, powerful tools that keep her steady: meetings, a sponsor, daily prayer, and service.

If you’ve ever wondered whether recovery could actually work for you, Indy’s story is the living proof. She talks about learning to pause, making amends, choosing boundaries without war, and finding a new community that loves her for who she is. It’s about progress, not perfection — and the unexpected beauty that shows up when you stop trying to control everything.

Tune in for a hopeful, intimate share that’s equal parts tough and tender. Whether you’re early in recovery, supporting someone who is, or just need a reminder that change is possible, Indy’s experience, strength, and hope will stick with you long after the episode ends.
