Episode 640 From Iraq to Intuition: Psychic Medium Drew Cali on Sobriety, Loss, and Spiritual Awaken
Elizabeth "Bizzy" Chance

In Episode 640, I sit down with nationally recognized psychic medium and spiritual teacher Drew Cali, whose journey from a fast‑paced business life to evidential mediumship began only after profound loss, trauma, and the decision to get sober.

Drew opens up about his early struggles with addiction, serving in Iraq, losing his mother to cancer, the stillbirth of his daughter, and the suicide of his brother‑in‑law — a series of heartbreaks that pushed him toward therapy, sobriety, and ultimately a spiritual awakening he never expected.

We talk about:

·       Drew’s sobriety story and how getting clean opened the door to his intuitive gifts

·       Mediumship as service, not performance — and why groundedness matters

·       Grief, trauma, and the unseen world

·       Imaginary friends, spiritual sensitivity, and childhood intuition

·       Why spirituality and sobriety are inseparable in his life

·       How he learned to trust his abilities after a lifetime of skepticism

·       The moment he realized he was “always at choice” in his healing

Drew’s story is raw, real, and deeply human — a reminder that recovery and spiritual connection often rise from the same place: surrender.

If you’re curious about mediumship, navigating grief, or finding your way back to yourself after loss, this conversation will stay with you.

Episode 638 From Gambling Addiction to 30 Years of Recovery: Jay Sapovits on Ego, Identity & Staying
Elizabeth "Bizzy" Chance

In this episode, I sit down with Jay Sapovits, someone whose honesty, humility, and long‑term recovery truly moved me. Jay shares his journey through compulsive gambling, emotional relapse, ego, identity, and nearly 30 years of recovery, and I found myself relating to so much of what he said.

Jay and I talk about:

·       the first time he gambled at 13 and the rush that changed everything

·       how ego—not gambling—nearly took him out 10 years into recovery

·       what emotional relapse looked like for him

·       rebuilding his identity, relationships, and integrity through the 12 steps

·       the difference between staying sober and living sober

·       why meetings and service work keep him grounded

·       the loneliness of being “the life of the party” while dying inside

·       the moment he realized sobriety had to be his #1 priority

·       discovering golf as a healthy obsession and recovery tool

·       the song that carried him through early recovery (“Kiss From a Rose”)

This conversation reminded me why I stay close to the rooms and why long‑term sobriety requires deeper work, not less. Jay’s honesty about ego, fear, and the daily practice of letting go is something every person in recovery will connect with.

If you’ve ever wondered what recovery looks like after 10, 20, or 30 years… this episode will speak to you the way it spoke to me.

Episode 637 — Living in Grace: Accepting Your Story, Letting Go of Shame, and Finding Light Again with Bizzy

Episode 637 — Living in Grace: Accepting Your Story, Letting Go of Shame, and Finding Light Again wi
Elizabeth "Bizzy" Chance

I’m back home in Florida after weeks of walking, writing, and reflecting, and today I’m talking about something that has been sitting on my heart: living with grace and accepting your story exactly as it is.

Writing my book has brought up memories I wanted to bury forever — the shame, the regret, the “I wish I had done it differently.” But grace asks us to look honestly at our past, accept it, and let it go. Every thread of our story — the good, the painful, the messy — weaves together to make us who we are.

In this episode, I share:

·       how writing my memoir brought up old wounds

·       why acceptance is essential for emotional sobriety

·       how shame keeps us stuck in low‑frequency thinking

·       the brain’s habit of replaying old stories

·       how to interrupt negative loops and choose grace

·       why asking for help is a sign of strength

·       how to move from darkness into light

If you’re tired of beating yourself up, tired of replaying the same story, or ready to step into a new chapter of your life, this episode will remind you that you are not alone — and that grace is always available.

Episode 636 Kava for Anxiety? Morgan Smith on Kava, Kratom, Alcohol Alternatives, and Recovery
Elizabeth "Bizzy" Chance

In this episode of It’s Bizzy Podcast/Busy Living Sober, I sit down with Morgan Smith, CEO of Kalm with Kava, for a fascinating conversation about kava, anxiety relief, alcohol alternatives, recovery, and the difference between kava and kratom.

If you’ve ever wondered what kava is, whether it’s safe for people in recovery, or how it compares to substances like kratom, marijuana, and alcohol, this episode breaks it all down in a real and honest way.

Morgan shares how kava has been used in the South Pacific for over 3,000 years as a plant-based tool for relaxation, connection, and calm. He explains how he took over the company after the tragic loss of founder Mike Munsell, why ethical sourcing matters, and how he works directly with farmers in Hawaii and the South Pacific to bring high-quality kava to the United States.

Elizabeth and Morgan also talk openly about sobriety, mind-altering substances, the rise of kratom, sleep struggles, social media addiction, anxiety, and what it means to find healthier ways to calm down without reaching for alcohol.

This is a thought-provoking episode for anyone who is sober curious, in long-term recovery, or simply looking for honest conversations about modern wellness and mindful alternatives.

In this episode:

  • what kava is and how it works

  • kava vs kratom

  • whether kava is addictive

  • anxiety relief and relaxation without alcohol

  • sober living and mind-altering substances

  • recovery, sleep, and healthier coping tools

  • social media overload and modern stress

  • ethical sourcing and the story behind Kalm with Kava

Morgan Smith is the CEO of Kalm with Kava and founder of Monsoon Beverages. He works directly with kava farmers throughout the South Pacific and Hawaii and is passionate about ethical sourcing, wellness education, and sharing the long history of noble kava.

As always, remember: you are not alone, and keep getting busy living sober.

Episode 635 When Money Becomes the New Obsession with Bizzy
Elizabeth "Bizzy" Chance

In this deeply personal solo episode from Porto, Portugal, I share a revelation that hit me harder than I expected: my lifelong obsession with money. Not the amount of money — but the constant mental tallying, the fear, the scarcity mindset, the spinning thoughts that never seem to stop.

Being alone in a foreign country with no distractions made something painfully clear: I’ve replaced one obsession (alcohol) with another (money). And for the first time, I could see the trauma behind it — childhood fear, family patterns, shame, control, and the belief that I’m never truly safe.

I talk about:

·       the moment in Fatima when I begged the Blessed Mother to take this obsession from me

·       how money fear mirrors the compulsive thinking of addiction

·       why being alone made the truth impossible to ignore

·       the stories we carry from childhood that shape our adult anxiety

·       how prayer, writing, and the 12‑step tools are helping me face this

·       why identifying the obsession is the first step toward healing it

If you’ve ever worried about money to the point of exhaustion — no matter how much or how little you have — this episode is for you. You are not alone. We can walk through this together, one day at a time.

Episode 634 How Women in Recovery Stop Burnout, Overgiving, and Performative Living with Anne Karber
Elizabeth "Bizzy" Chance

In this episode of Busy Living Sober, I sit down with Anne Karber — entrepreneur, author of The Life Hack Playbook, and host of the Let’s Get Naked Podcast — for an honest conversation about addiction recovery, burnout, overgiving, emotional sobriety, and what it really means to stop living on autopilot.

Anne shares her powerful story of leaving home at 16, becoming a young mother, building a successful business, and quietly battling addiction while everything looked fine on the outside. Together, me and Anne talk about the pressure so many women feel to hold everything together, the trap of performative living, and why putting yourself first is not selfish — it is necessary.

We also explore social media overload, doom scrolling, emotional exhaustion, people-pleasing, workaholism, grief, rehab, self-awareness, and healing after burnout. This is a must-listen for women in recovery and anyone who feels like life looks good on paper but feels empty on the inside.

If you have ever felt exhausted from trying to be everything for everyone, this conversation will remind you that peace, purpose, and healing are possible.

In this episode:

  • women in recovery

  • addiction and burnout

  • overgiving and emotional exhaustion

  • performative living

  • social media and self-care

  • workaholism and emotional sobriety

  • grief, healing, and self-awareness

  • learning to put yourself first

Anne Karber is an entrepreneur, author of The Life Hack Playbook, and host of the Let’s Get Naked Podcast. Known for her no-BS approach to personal growth, she helps people break free from performative living and build real emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and ownership.

Episode 633 From Regret to Resilience: Elizabeth “Bizzy” Chance’s Journey of Self Forgiveness
Elizabeth "Bizzy" Chance

Episode 633 comes to you from my window overlooking the Douro River in Porto. After days of walking, writing, and facing some heavy chapters of my past, I finally understood what “not regretting the past nor wishing to shut the door on it” really means. In this episode, I talk about shame, forgiveness, sobriety, and why we must stop carrying stories that no longer serve us. If you’re ready to release old pain and step into something new, join me.

⭐ WHAT I EXPLORE IN THIS EPISODE

  • My journey of self‑forgiveness and what it really means to stop carrying the past

  • How shame, regret, and old stories kept me stuck in low‑frequency emotions

  • The power of pivoting when life demands change

  • What nearly 20 years of sobriety has taught me about acceptance and letting go

  • How solo travel and writing my book in Porto helped me see my life differently

  • The importance of gratitude, presence, and taking emotional responsibility

  • Why I can’t change others — only myself

⭐ KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Self‑forgiveness is where healing begins

  • You can pivot at any moment — your life is not fixed

  • Shame is a heavy, low‑frequency emotion you don’t have to carry

  • You can feel an emotion without becoming it

  • Living in the present is a choice you can make again and again

  • Your past is part of you, but it doesn’t have to define you

  • You are not alone — everyone has a story and everyone is learning

  • Sobriety is more than putting down the drink; it’s learning to live life on life’s terms

  • You can’t control how others see you, only how you grow

  • Taking chances is what creates your life — not the outcomes, but the courage to try

Episode 632: Is Sugar the New Alcohol? With Mike Collins, The Sugar Free Man
Elizabeth "Bizzy" Chance

What if the hardest substance to quit isn’t alcohol… but sugar?

In this eye-opening conversation, I sit down with Mike Collins — known as the “Sugar Free Man” — who has over 40 years in recovery from substance use disorder and decades living sugar-free. After noticing how sugar affected him and others in early sobriety, Mike began researching the powerful connection between sugar, cravings, and addiction. What he discovered changed everything.

We talk about why so many people in recovery replace alcohol with sugar, how sugar can act like a psychoactive substance, and why quitting sweets can feel harder than quitting alcohol. Mike also shares how he raised his children sugar-free in early childhood, rewrote the rules around kids and sugar, and built a community helping thousands break free from sugar addiction.

We also discuss:

  • Why sugar cravings are so intense in recovery

  • Emotional eating and relapse patterns

  • Sugar’s impact on mood and mental clarity

  • The connection between fructose and addiction behavior

  • How to begin reducing sugar without feeling deprived

Mike is the founder of SugarAddiction.com, SugarDetox.com, and QuitSugarSummit.com. Hundreds of thousands have read his book The Last Resort Sugar Detox, and tens of thousands have completed his 30-Day Sugar Freedom Challenge.

If you’ve ever replaced alcohol with sweets, struggled with cravings, or wondered why sugar has such a hold on you — this episode may change how you see recovery.

Episode 631 The Power of Solo Travel for Self Discovery | How Traveling Alone Can Transform Your Emo
Elizabeth "Bizzy" Chance

In this episode, I share the story of my transformative solo trip to Amsterdam and how it pushed me to tap into deeper emotional resilience, practice intentional self‑care, and lean into the power of gratitude when things didn’t go as planned. Traveling alone challenged me, grounded me, and ultimately helped me reconnect with myself in ways I didn’t expect.

From navigating unexpected travel stress to finding peace in quiet moments along the canals, this journey became a powerful reminder that solo travel isn’t just about exploring a new place — it’s about rediscovering who you are. I talk openly about personal growth, mindfulness, sobriety, and the emotional shifts that happen when you give yourself space to change.

If you’re craving clarity, healing, or a fresh start, this episode offers inspiration, honesty, and the reminder that stepping out alone can lead to profound transformation.

What I Explore

  • Building emotional resilience during challenging travel moments

  • How self-care and gratitude can shift your entire mindset

  • The unexpected lessons I learned from traveling solo in Amsterdam

My Key Takeaways

  • Solo travel opens the door to new perspectives and emotional growth

  • Gratitude helps move you from fear to empowerment

  • Embracing solitude can spark deep personal transformation
