Episode 565- Shatter the Shame: Bizzy’s Path to Freedom

/

Want to watch the podcast, here is the YouTube Link

https://www.youtube.com/@elizabethchance

Yo, Bizzy fam! In episode 565 of It’s Bizzy, I get raw about shame—that heavy weight I carried as an alcoholic. Celebrating 19 years in recovery, I share how I shed that scarlet letter, from TJ Maxx senior discounts to owning my wrinkles. Learn the difference between guilt and shame, why judgment stings, and how to embrace your messy, beautiful self with gratitude and community. Tune in to kick shame to the curb and live BIG! #ItsBizzy #LiveLoudLoveBig

Takeaways:

·       Shame lingers, but time heals with reflection.

·       Guilt says, “I did bad”; shame says, “I am bad.”

·       Self-acceptance is your key to freedom.

·       Others’ judgment can amplify shame—don’t let it.

·       Your past doesn’t define you; your whole self does.

·       Inner growth > outer appearances for true peace.

·       Community and gratitude melt shame away.

·       You’re never alone in your struggles.

Episode 564- The Florida Shuffle: Protect Your Loved Ones from Treatment Fraud with Dave Aronberg, Co-Author of Fighting the Florida Shuffle

/

Dave aronberg

If you want to watch today’s episode go to YouTube Conversations with Bizzy

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCc3HJ7n829eYTVJ2t9KZ6Cw

Do you or someone you love need addiction treatment? Please — before you send them anywhere — listen to this episode. What’s happening in parts of South Florida is shocking, heartbreaking, and, in some cases, deadly.

I’m Elizabeth Chance, host of Conversations with Bizzy, and after 19 years sober, I thought I’d seen it all. But the “Florida Shuffle” is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. It’s a scheme where people battling addiction are moved from treatment centers to sober homes and back again — not to help them heal, but to line pockets.

My guest, Dave Aronberg — Palm Beach County State Attorney and co-author of Fighting the Florida Shuffle — joins me to break down how this works, the laws that made it worse, and the real damage it’s doing to families.

We talk about:

  • How people in recovery are being treated like dollar signs

  • Why some laws made fraud easier instead of harder

  • What ethical, real recovery care looks like

  • How to spot red flags before it’s too late

This isn’t just another interview — it’s a wake-up call. If you’re in the recovery community or have a loved one who is, you can’t afford not to hear this.

Episode 563 – You Don’t Know What to Do, You’re Lost… Tips for Letting Go

/

Go to YouTube to watch here is the link

https://www.youtube.com/@elizabethchance

Feeling stuck, restless, or unsure of your next move? You’re not alone. In this solo episode, I share what it’s like to sit in that uncomfortable in-between — when life feels quiet, unfamiliar, and you just want a giant neon sign telling you where to go next.

From my own journey of almost 19 years of sobriety, I talk about why doing nothing can actually be doing something, how to tune out the noise of social media and comparison, and the simple daily tools (like gratitude lists and journaling) that help me reconnect with God, myself, and my purpose.

In this episode, I discuss the challenges of navigating life transitions, particularly during midlife. I emphasize the importance of finding stillness amidst chaos and offer practical tools for self-reflection and personal growth — including journaling and gratitude practices. I also share my own experiences with sobriety and the discomfort of not knowing what to do next, encouraging you to embrace your feelings and practice self-love.

Takeaways:

·       Life transitions can be uncomfortable and challenging.

·       Finding stillness is essential for personal growth.

·       Journaling can provide clarity and insight.

·       Gratitude practices can shift your perspective.

·       Feelings are temporary and should be acknowledged.

·       Social media can exacerbate feelings of inadequacy.

·       Taking time for self-reflection is powerful.

·       You are not alone in your struggles.

·       Doing nothing can lead to creative insights.

·       Self-love is crucial for emotional well-being.

https://www.youtube.com/@elizabethchance

We’re keeping Season 10 rolling with a guest I adore — my dear friend Becky Shipos! 💛

Becky is a sober mom of three, a full-time working professional, and has been sober for 26 years! In this episode, she shares her powerful story of getting sober just before her 21st birthday, overcoming addiction and eating disorders, and leaning into her Catholic faith to stay grounded and grow stronger.

We talk about motherhood, marriage, spiritual wellness, and the real challenges of balancing it all. Becky reminds us that self-care isn’t selfish, that asking for help is brave, and that we are never alone in this journey.

She’ll be joining me monthly — and I can’t wait for you to fall in love with her just like I have. 💫

💬 What we cover in this episode:

  • Becky’s early struggles with addiction and eating disorders

  • The role her faith played in healing and long-term sobriety

  • Parenting and sobriety: the honest truth about balance

  • Why self-reflection, rest, and teamwork matter

  • The pressure of comparison — and how to let it go

  • A reminder that asking for help is strength, not weakness

Episode 561 Slow Down, Bizzy! What Patience Is Teaching Me

/

Welcome to Season 10 of Conversations with Bizzy! Can you believe it?! I’m so excited to be back, and I’m kicking things off with something I struggle with every single day: patience.

In this episode, I’m sharing what it’s like to sit in the waiting — when you don’t have the answers, when you're stuck in the unknown, and when you just want to move forward already. I open up about my own journey with slowing down, trusting the process, and how tools like prayer, journaling, and meditation keep me grounded (most days!).

Whether you’re walking through recovery, starting something new, or just feeling overwhelmed with life — I hope this episode reminds you that you’re not alone. We're in this together. 💛

💬 Here’s what I talk about in today’s episode:

  • Why patience is so dang hard (especially when you’re wired like me)

  • How journaling and prayer help me stay centered

  • Letting go of control and trusting God’s timing

  • Learning to live in the in-between

  • The importance of having a support system
