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!

Tune in for a conversation full of heart, honesty, and a reminder that it’s never too late to change your story.

This episode is pure joy! I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Grace— who found me on YouTube (how cool is that?) and felt a connection that led to this beautiful conversation. Grace didn’t choose ministry; it chose her. Born to Italian immigrant parents, her faith journey was shaped by culture, family, and a whole lot of heart.

She opened up about overcoming her fear of public speaking through faith (yes, miracles do happen!) and how she started retreats to bring teens into the light of spirituality. Grace’s mom, once lost in depression, found community and joy through her local parish—and it deeply impacted Grace's path.

We talk about the healing masses that completely changed her understanding of what faith really is, and how even in moments of doubt—especially during tough times in the Church—Grace kept her eyes on Jesus.

And then there’s Medjugorje. Oh, my goodness… Grace shares her awe-inspiring experience of this holy place that feels like heaven on earth. She reminds us that Mary sees our hearts and hears every single one of our prayers. That God is closest when we feel the farthest. That joy is possible—even in the hardest moments.

This conversation is a reminder to look for the little things. They matter. Faith is alive. And young people are hearing the call. God is moving—right here, right now.

So, let’s bring it to everything and everyone. Because love like this? It’s meant to be shared.

Tune in for a conversation full of heart, honesty, and a reminder that it’s never too late to change your story.

Hey everybody, it’s Bizzy! In today’s episode, I’m back behind the mic and back to coaching — and wow, it feels so good. I’m sharing what it’s like to return to something that lights me up, how I’m showing up differently in my marriage, and what I’ve learned about making time for what really matters.

My husband and I are heading to Europe soon, and I talk about how travel can be the best kind of reset — for your soul and your relationships. I also get honest about fear, growth, and how we can all build the life we want — no matter our age or where we’re starting from.

This episode is for anyone who needs a little nudge to live bigger, love harder, and say YES to what’s calling you. You’ve got the tools. You’ve got the power. Let’s go! 💛✈️🌍

This week, I’m sharing a little life update straight from the heart — my daughter just graduated, and wow… what a weekend!

From all the celebration and amazing friends to the emotional curveballs (hello, real talk about identity, growth, and family dynamics), this episode is all about navigating the highs and the “whoa, I didn’t see that coming” moments of life.

I talk about what it feels like to let go, show up, and trust that love — and prayer — really can carry us through the uncertain parts. I even had a surprise moment with my son and his wife that reminded me: joy is always waiting if your heart is open.

Whether you're a parent, in transition, or just figuring it all out one day at a time… this one’s for you. 💙

💡 Key Takeaways:

  • 🎓 Milestones like graduation can bring both joy and emotional reflection.

  • 💞 Supporting your children sometimes means choosing love over full understanding.

  • 🙏 Prayer and surrender are powerful tools for peace.

  • 🤝 Community matters — we’re not meant to do life alone.

  • 🌱 Family differences can lead to personal and spiritual growth.

  • 💬 Emotional tools like honesty, acceptance, and grace are essential.

  • 💫 Joy is possible, even in uncertain times — if we’re open to it.

  • 🌍 Life is about connection — with God, with each other, and with ourselves.

In this episode of Conversations with Bizzy, I sit down with the insightful and inspiring John Brewer—someone who has walked the winding road of addiction, found faith, and now lives with purpose, joy, and deep spiritual connection.

John opens up about his battle with alcoholism, how childhood pain and a near-miss DUI became a turning point, and the powerful role Alcoholics Anonymous played in his transformation. But that’s just the beginning. What truly lit him up was discovering a higher power that led him straight into the heart of the Catholic Church.

We laugh, we reflect, and we dive deep into what it really means to live an authentic life—grounded in faith, service, and self-discovery. John shares how the Mass became his form of meditation, why confession brought unexpected freedom, and how helping others has become his mission.

We talk about everything from the power of sponsorship to the beauty of spiritual literature, and how sobriety and faith are truly soulmates on this journey. If you’re curious about how science, God, and recovery all intertwine—or just want to hear an uplifting story of redemption and hope—this episode is for you.

Tune in for a conversation full of heart, honesty, and a reminder that it’s never too late to change your story.

In this episode, I’m sharing how saying yes changed my life—and how it can change yours too. I open up about what it’s like to let go of fear, stop overthinking, and lean fully into faith. From unexpected trips to deep friendships and wild blessings I never saw coming, I’ve learned that trusting God opens doors no one else can.

Life is short. Fear is loud. But faith? Faith is louder. I’m here to remind you that you don’t need all the answers—you just need the courage to say yes.

Takeaways:

  • Saying yes creates space for new adventures and relationships

  • Fear is a liar—we miss out when we let it lead

  • Faith lights the way through uncertainty

  • Overthinking keeps us stuck; action sets us free

  • Trusting God invites miracles into our lives

  • Even the hard stuff helps us grow

  • Encouraging others to say yes sparks transformation

  • Travel and change of scenery can shift your whole perspective

  • Life feels lighter and richer when we live in faith, not fear

Life is short—so enjoy the ride, one day at a time.

In this episode, I sit down with my husband on Mother’s Day to talk about something that many of us face but few of us openly discuss—family dysfunction and estrangement. We open up about our own experiences and how men and women often process emotions so differently. We touch on how social media paints a picture-perfect version of family life that just isn't real, and how easy it is to fall into comparison or a victim mindset. This conversation is about getting honest, leaning on faith, and remembering that we can only control our own actions. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s a reminder that you’re not alone.

Life is short—so enjoy the ride, one day at a time.

In today’s episode, I’m getting real about transitions—the ones we see coming, and the ones that sneak up on us. With the conclave starting today, I couldn’t help but think about what it means to be in that sacred in-between space.

Whether it’s becoming a parent, watching your kids grow up, or suddenly finding yourself an empty nester—change is never easy. And let’s be honest, the middle? It’s messy. It’s uncertain. It’s quiet. And it can feel incredibly lonely.

But it’s also where healing begins.
It’s where we rediscover who we are.
It’s where God shows up in the stillness.

If you’re navigating a transition right now, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about identity, self-care, faith, and why you are never alone in your journey.

✨ Takeaways:

  • The conclave is a powerful reminder of spiritual and personal transition.

  • The “in-between” isn’t bad—it’s where growth happens.

  • Parenting changes, everything changes, but so does letting go.

  • Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s survival.

  • Your identity doesn’t end when your kids move out.

  • Silence is where you hear God and find yourself again.

  • Trusting God in the unknown brings peace.

  • You don’t have to have all the answers—just take the next right step.

  • Healing happens in stillness.

  • You’re never alone—there’s grace in the middle.

Life is short—so enjoy the ride, one day at a time.
