Episode 44 - Flat Earth Dave

In this episode of The Sober By Design podcast I talk with @flatearthdavecom. Using language I learned on the podcast, we have a very kind and open discussion between a glober and a flat earther. Dave takes times to walk me through the concepts behind the flat earth history and the theories that drive people to dive head first into the movement. Dave also shares his experience of people in recovery finding some clarity in the flat earth movement, and that some folks have credited this idea to their continued recovery. You can find all of Dave's links at www.flatearthdave.com This episode was a fun one to record and I hope listeners will come to it with an open mind, I listened to Dave throughout - but I am sill a glober ;) The only media recommendation we really got to was The Yacht Rock station on Sirius XM

Episode 43 - 2024 Election Thoughts

The episode no one asked for, but the episode I needed to record. This episode is me letting out all my thoughts on the 2024 election ; how we got here, what can we change, what may/may not happen, and how it all relates to sobriety for me. If you do not like politics do not listen. If you only like hearing how great your side of the political sphere don't listen. If you maybe want to learn about bit about how I think LISTEN. I hope it makes sense and something resonates for you as you move forward from here, no matter what side of the pollical aisle you are on.

Episode 40 - Time

In this episode you get just me. It has been a few weeks since an episode and I wanted to make sure Episode 40!!!! get posted before the end of June. Topics in this one include: explaining some of the challenges around booking guests, time management, SSRIs, Crossfit, some early sobriety task management, and of course one TV show recommendation. It's a short one but I dive into some of my personal stuff that I do not normally touch on in an episode where I have a guest. Moving forward I might try and do more do more of these solo shows, I have only done a couple and they aren't easy but I can see the value - me being able to lay out tools that help me stay on my recovery path. So keep an eye out (or ear out) for more of these dropping in the next few months!
