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

We’re also unpacking the importance of community, rediscovering who you are outside of “mom,” and how spirituality can light the way to healing. Plus, we’ll explore how cultural shifts and tech are reshaping parenting and kids’ behavior. Trust me, you don’t want to miss this inspiring, soul-stirring convo—grab your tea, get cozy, and let’s dive in!

Hi everybody — it’s Bizzy, and I’m checking in from Europe! In this episode, I’m taking you along as we hop from Barcelona to Milan — and let me tell you, this trip has been full of surprises, lessons, and a whole lot of walking (in the wrong shoes, of course).

From navigating jet lag and cultural shifts to wandering into jaw-dropping churches that made me feel God’s presence right there in the room… this journey has been one for the books. I’m talking about real connection, unexpected spiritual moments, and how sobriety lets me experience it all with so much clarity.

I’m also sharing why traveling without a tour guide is so freeing, how important it is to be patient (especially with your husband 😉), and the little ways I’m keeping grounded — like drinking water, dressing light, and staying in the moment.

This isn’t about perfect vacations or curated Instagram posts — it’s about being real, being present, and feeling joy in the most unexpected places. Come along for the ride!
