It's Bizzy
Busy Living Sober "It's Bizzy"
Hosted by Elizabeth "Bizzy" Chance
Recovery isn’t just about stopping; it’s about starting.
Welcome to Busy Living Sober "It's Bizzy," the podcast where we move past the "shame" of the past and dive headfirst into the vibrant, messy, and beautiful reality of life in recovery. I’m your host, Elizabeth "Bizzy" Chance—recovery coach, speaker, and your biggest cheerleader in the journey to reclaim your power.
After years of my own journey, I realized that "getting sober" was only the beginning. The real magic happens when we learn how to stay busy living. This show is a weekly masterclass in resilience, featuring deep-dive conversations with world-renowned experts like Dr. Bob Schuchts, survivors like Azadeh Atzberger, and industry leaders who are rewriting the rules of wellness and spirituality.
On this show, we talk about it all:
- Navigating the "war within" and healing deep emotional wounds.
- Identifying toxic patterns and setting bulletproof boundaries.
- Integrating spirituality and psychology for a "whole-person" recovery.
- Transitioning from surviving to thriving in your career and relationships.
Whether you are 24 hours sober or 24 years in, this is your home for actionable wisdom, unfiltered truth, and the reminder that you don't have to do this alone.
It’s time to stop just "staying sober" and start Busy Living.
