Bizzy fam! In this raw episode 568, I pour out my heart over losing my dog, Penelope, after 15 years of unconditional love. From our deep bond to the gut-wrenching grief, I share how to feel it all and heal. With the Rainbow Bridge poem, I honor her light. If you’ve lost a pet, you’re not alone. Watch at https://www.youtube.com/@elizabethchance! #ItsBizzy #LiveLoudLoveBig

Takeaways:

·       Losing a pet is heartbreaking but universal.

·       Pets and owners share a profound bond.

·       Grief is real—sit with it to heal.

·       You’re not alone in your loss.

·       Pets bring joy and love, always.

·       Sharing feelings fuels healing.

·       Take time to mourn—it’s okay.

Rainbow Bridge Poem

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

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.

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.
