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.

Episode 574: From Opioids to Ordained: Jeff Grant's Prison-to-Purpose Redemption

Bizzy fam! In episode 574, I get real with Jeff Grant, Esq.—a lawyer who hit rock bottom with prescription opioid addiction, served federal prison time for a white-collar crime, and rose through sobriety, faith, and a Master of Divinity from Union Theological Seminary to become an ordained reverend. Jeff and his wife Lynn co-founded the White Collar Support Group to lift up families in crisis, reinstated his law license to fight the system at GrantLaw.com, and launched the Federal Expungement Initiative for second chances. Don't miss his take on forgiveness, community, and the White Collar Conference 2025 (Oct 11, 9 AM ET on Zoom, open to all—register at whitecollarconference.com). Jeff speaks Thursday, Oct 9 at 7 PM ET at Bethesda-by-the-Sea, Palm Beach, FL (RSVP: rsvp@bbts.org). Watch: https://www.youtube.com/@elizabethchance! #ItsBizzy #LiveLoudLoveBig
