Episode 627: I Don’t Know. Nobody. Not Me. The Marker of Adulthood

Want to watch the podcast, here is the YouTube Link

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

In this episode, I reflect on responsibility, authenticity, and the societal pressures we’re all facing today. Inspired by a recent homily and my own recovery journey, I talk about three phrases I keep hearing everywhere: “I don’t know,” “nobody,” and “not me.” These phrases reveal how easily we avoid accountability — and why taking responsibility is the true marker of adulthood.

I share my thoughts on self-respect, owning our actions, and how personal responsibility plays a critical role in recovery and personal growth. I also discuss celebrity culture, social media’s influence on identity, and how these forces are shaping the way we see ourselves and the world around us.

Finally, I talk about my concerns for younger generations — how distraction, social media, and a lack of foundational knowledge are impacting responsibility, leadership, and confidence.

This episode is about stepping into accountability, embracing growth, and choosing to live with intention — one responsible decision at a time.

Key Topics

• Why responsibility is the marker of adulthood
• “I don’t know, nobody, not me” mindset
• Recovery and radical ownership
• Celebrity accountability
• Social media and avoidance culture
• Self-respect and personal growth
• Teaching responsibility to the next generation
• Faith and personal transformation

Episode 625 Is Your Phone Stealing Your Joy? (How to Break Up with Your Screen)

Stop! Put down the phone (after you hit play on this episode, of course!). 📱✨

In Episode 625, I’m getting real about the digital noise that’s living rent-free in our heads. We’ve all been there: you go to check the weather and forty-five minutes later you’re watching a video of a goat playing the piano while feeling a weird sense of "I’m not doing enough."

Today, I’m sharing my personal journey of breaking up with the "scroll-hole" and finding my way back to real life. We’re talking:

·       The Social Media Detox: Why your mental health will thank you for hitting "unfollow."

·       AI & Tech: Is it a tool or a trap? (Spoiler: It’s both).

·       The Power of the Pause: How I’m using silence, nature, and a little bit of prayer to kick anxiety to the curb.

·       Simple Joys: Reclaiming the quiet moments that the "Like" button tried to steal.

It’s time to trade FOMO for the joy of missing out on the nonsense and tuning back into yourself. Let’s get quiet, get centered, and get back to what actually matters.

Episode 624- RecoveryBridge.app Founder Burk Jackson: Bridging the Gap in Sobriety Support

What happens in the "quiet hours" of recovery when the meetings are over, your sponsor is asleep, and the cravings start to scream?

In Episode 624, I sit down with Burk Jackson, a man who has been walking the path of recovery since October 20, 1994. With over 31 years of lived experience, Burk knows that while clinical treatment provides the foundation, it’s the human connection that provides the fuel for a lifelong change.

After decades of seeing people fall through the cracks of a fragmented support system, Burk founded RecoveryBridge.app—a revolutionary, 100% free digital platform that ensures no one has to navigate sobriety alone.

In this episode, we discuss:

·       The 31-Year Perspective: How the journey changes from Day 1 to Decade 3.

·       The "Bridge" Concept: Why Burk is removing the price tag from life-changing peer support.

·       Technology with a Heart: How an website app can foster deep, confidential, one-on-one human connection.

·       The Power of Being "Seen": Why talking to someone who has "lived it" changes the internal narrative of shame.

Whether you are on Day One or Year Twenty, Burk’s story is a powerful reminder that the bridge to a better life is built one connection at a time.

Episode 623: Dropping the Punching Gloves – Reclaiming Your Joy

Serene Bizzy

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

"Do you let yourself be treated a certain way because of your shame from the past?"

In today's episode, I’m getting real about the "Scarlet Letter" of alcoholism and how we often let old stories dictate the boundaries we set today. After a weekend of deep reflection, I realized that shame is a master at morphing into something that allows people to walk all over us. But here’s the truth: you aren't that person anymore.

Join me as we talk about:

  • The "Cha-Cha" of the First Three Steps: Powerlessness, belief, and letting go.

  • Peeling the Onion: Why recovery is a lifelong process of uncovering and healing.

  • Finding Joy in the Chaos: How a delayed flight in Austin taught me about choosing light over attitude.

  • Rising Above Respect: Understanding that while humans are fallible and will let us down, our sobriety and self-worth aren't up for sale.

It’s time to drop the punching gloves you’ve been hitting yourself with and change them for love, kindness, and compassion. You are not alone.

Episode 622-Be Healed: Transforming Trauma and Addiction through God’s Grace with Dr. Bob Schuchts

/

Want to watch the podcast, here is the YouTube Link

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

Have you ever felt like you were doing the work—therapy, meetings, journaling—but there was still a "hole in your soul" that wouldn't heal? In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Bob Schuchts, founder of the John Paul II Healing Center and author of the best-selling book, Be Healed: Encountering the Powerful Love of Jesus in Your Life.

Dr. Bob brings a unique powerhouse of experience to our conversation. With over 30 years as a marriage and family therapist and a background teaching at Florida State University and the Theology of the Body Institute, he deeply understands the human struggle. He shares his incredible transition from clinical therapy to leading a global healing ministry, showing us how to bridge the gap between psychology and the spirit.

In this episode, we cover:

·       Inner Healing: Why we need more than just "coping skills" to find lasting peace.

·       The Roots of Addiction: A deep dive into understanding trauma from a spiritual perspective.

·       Faith & Community: How the people around us act as conduits for God’s grace.

·       Practical Advice: Simple, actionable steps to begin your own spiritual growth journey today.

We discuss the Theology of the Body, the wounds that drive our behaviors, and why true recovery requires us to encounter the powerful love of Jesus in our most broken places. If you are ready to move from just "surviving" to truly being healed, this conversation is for you.

Want to watch the podcast, here is the YouTube Link

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

How do you move from the darkness of addiction into a life of purpose and peace? In this solo episode, I share the spiritual milestones of my recovery and the "hard truths" I had to face to find true sobriety.

I dive deep into the importance of spiritual growth and how connecting to something greater than yourself allows you to walk through fear. We discuss why forgiveness is a requirement for healing and how self-compassion can bridge the gap between who you were and who you are becoming.

Key Topics:

  • Breaking the Cycle: Moving past alcoholism into a life of abundance.

  • The Forgiveness Factor: Why holding onto resentment only keeps you in the trenches.

  • Spiritual Sobriety: How to maintain your peace when life gets messy.

"For a long time, I was running on empty carrying a heavy backpack full of remorse, shame, and bitterness that I just couldn't seem to set down. In this episode, I’m sharing about the moment everything shifted.

I’m sharing my deeply personal journey through sobriety and the spiritual awakening that changed the way I see the world. From the unexpected 'divine intervention' I found through the Hallow app to the quiet power of practicing gratitude during Lent, I’ve learned that you must empty yourself of the old hurts to make room for something divine.

Join me as we talk about finding inner peace when the world feels divided, why kindness is a superpower, and how a little bit of faith can lead to a massive amount of personal growth.
