ReHabitat Recovery: Recovery From The Human Condition

We're back after a winter hibernation! For this episode, a few armchair therapists (a barber, a comedian, and licensed counselor) stop by to talk about life. What could go wrong?? During Part 1, we catch up with each other and debate politically charged topics such as Bucees versus Sheetz and solutions to awkward social interactions. Stay tuned for Part 2 where Sam (the barber) discusses his non-traditional route to recovery a...

If you're anything like me, you can't simply take things at face value. If you're someone that needs data, statistics, or the full story - this episode is for you. During Part 2, we explore underbelly of mental health and 'the powers that be.' From Big Pharma backdoor approaches to how insurance companies influence providers and diagnosing. Most importantly, we end the episode with a story about profound ch...

Laughter, science, and a philosophical dialogue with a Vandy professor. During Part 1, we discuss how addiction impacts the brain, the power of association, and why attachments have such a grip on our psyche. As they say, "You scratch the paint off an addict/alcoholic and you'll find a codependent underneath." Stay tuned for Part 2 to hear more about the underbelly of health care and the influence that large corporat...

Let's face it.. Grief is possibly the most difficult, yet sacred human experience we endure. Often times it changes the terrain of our lives and we hesitate to either share or express it. During this episode we discuss what it's like to lose a parent, how to hold space for someone experiencing grief, and why it's important to shed any unnecessary tethers that exist in our lives. Kristen's incredible story of how...

We're back!! After taking some time off, we invited one of our favorite cousins over from @CreativeSobriety. Kristen Bear stops by to catch up and talk about the most difficult year of her life. During Part 1, we discuss her "why" behind the Sober Curious movement, the importance of expanding our horizons with mental health, and how recovery allows us to raise our standards. Stay tuned for Part 2 to hear about Kriste...

After taking a few months off - we're back! And we have the honor of recording with a true beacon of light. During Part 1, we get curious about the role of sex/love in our lives, how to wear the many hats of ambition, and how our past lives have been repurposed to help recreate the new. This episode offers a great reminder that the wellness lifestyle turns into quite the adventure, if we just let our light shine. Stay tuned fo...

We're starting off 2022 with a group Q and A episode! 10 of us got together to eat pizza and talk about our experience with recovery. "What we've learned, what worked, what didn't and why." This episode pushes back against rigid beliefs systems, while offering solution to those that don't know where to start. If you're debating recovery, new to recovery or need a reminder - this is an open discuss...

This is a story of redemption. In my early days of recovery, today's guest left an impression on me from across the room. Often times, those of us that live with addiction struggle to find our way back. Fortunately, this episode is an incredible story of how 'one of us' never gave up. On this episode we discuss how recovery looks different for everyone, the impact of shame, codependency and being addicted to the thri...

Trigger warning. This episode discusses multiple forms of trauma and/or traumatic events. Here we go! Part 2 is finally here! This story is a powerful example of how trauma, focusing on the differences and hiding behind 'the presentation' is a recipe for hopelessness. Fortunately, that same hopelessness can lead to clarity and radical transformation. This story offers undeniable evidence that the antidote to the thousand ...

A friend from a local meeting stops by to share her 'WarStory.' On this episode we discuss how fear and pain became our greatest motivators. All the while, learning how to grow through it without having a 'cop out' or addiction to blame. An incredibly inspiring story about growing up in the foster system, experiencing terminal uniqueness and coming to terms with the fact that life still happens. A beautiful exam...

Lets be honest... the term 'sobriety' can come across as a little stale. Especially to those that are new to this way of life. Our guest, who is a bonafide 'sober meme' savant, stops by to help reframe and revitalize the concept. We discuss 'ins and outs' of the sober curious movement and 'the why' behind alternative realms of recovery. Unsurprisingly, the common thread is that WE ALL live wi...

The owner of Glen Park Recovery homes stops by to talk about the power of purpose. Today's guest offers a graceful reminder of how INCREDIBLE obstacles can be overcome with a little willingness and service. His life experience is proof that life isn't unbearable by circumstance - rather a lack of meaning and purpose. If you or a loved one you know needs a fresh start, reach out to Mark today! https://glenparkrecovery.com

Episode ‘23’ could not be more fitting. This is the 'Michael Jordan' of episodes! We talk about what it's like to be the Tiger 'Chicken' King, a creative approach to recovery and the essential hurt of a constant perspective change. I could honestly listen to Michael talk about life for days. Sit back, prepare to laugh and ponder.
