In this particular episode, Corey sits down with Crystal Fedeli @crystallynnefedeli, a remarkable woman whose story of triumph over trauma serves as a beacon of hope for many. Crystal, the founder of She's Recovered, shares her deeply personal journey of overcoming the scars of sexual abuse and navigating the challenges of a tumultuous upbringing. Born into a world where she was considered a "mistake" by young parents who soon parted ways, Crystal's early years were marked by turbulence and uncertainty. Yet, despite the odds stacked against her, Crystal's resilience shines through as she recounts her path to finding love, building her own family, and pursuing higher education with unwavering dedication. Holding multiple graduate degrees, Crystal embodies the power of determination and perseverance in the face of adversity. Central to Crystal's story of recovery is her embrace of the Sinclair method, an alternative approach that harnesses the latest scientific advancements to combat addiction. As a fervent advocate for leveraging scientific knowledge in all its forms to support recovery journeys, Crystal emphasizes the importance of exploring diverse pathways to healing. Through Crystal's courageous narrative, listeners are reminded that recovery is not a one-size-fits-all journey but a deeply personal odyssey filled with twists, turns, and unexpected triumphs.

Episode 31- Jessica Jordan

First episode of 2024! What a way to start! In this episode I talk to Jessica Jordan, a sex and porn recovery specialist (www.selfcraftedking.com) about her life before her current calling, and what she does in her day to day life now. One of the most engaging episodes, and went so much deeper than Jessica's current work. We hit on connection, the make up of addiction, issues with intimacy, social media challenges, and attachment theory. Jessica also shares her profound health story which revolves around eating a bad piece of tinned fish. I never knew anything like this could ever happen, you need to listen to hear more!

Episode 30 - 2023 Wrapped

Ending the year with a solo podcast, a wrap up 2023 and all I did living a life of recovery. The premise of the show is that we can live full, fun, lives without alcohol or other mood altering substances - so what better way to prove that than a quick episode of some of what I did this past year. Next year/season The Sober By Design Podcast will be having more guests, delving into different topics, and hopefully hitting closer to 45 episodes for the year. Thanks for a great first year!

Episode 29 - Amanda and Ginny (Sol Rising Podcast)

Episode 29 is a first for me, two guests telling their stories! Amanda and Ginny are the co-hosts of The Sol Rising Podcast and good friends, and they both happen to be in long term recovery. During the episode each of them brings their own flavor to the story of recovery, but the one thing that is an undercurrent of the show is that there is a shift happening in the world and that we all need to pay attention to energy around us. Subjects we touch on: Childhood trauma Sexual trauma Death and grieving Infidelity Religion and Church Media Recommendations Khruangbin - Music Pearl Jam's Inside Job - Music Blind Pilot - Music

Episode 28 - Jennifer Jacuzzi

In episode 28 I sit down with Jennifer Jacuzzi to talk about her story of drinking to recovery. Jennifer found herself at a young age in treatment for codependency, struggling with alcohol, and then continuing a destructive cycle for years until she found her recovery. In recovery Jennifer has started to help other via AA, her church, her strong personal relationships, and acting as a mentor for folks finding recovery at the rehab that gave her the foundation for her sobriety. Jennifer shares stories of relationships, loss, hope, and how she had a true rock bottom moment on TV as a news anchor going on live under the influence of alcohol and blowing up her long fought for career. Jennifer bares it all, and it is a great listen with so much to learn - because today Jennifer is living in grace and knows what she needs to do to help herself and others.
