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 649: When Bizzy Stopped Being Busy

Have you ever noticed that when life gets uncomfortable, it's easier to stay busy than it is to sit still and feel?
In this solo episode, I'm sharing something I've been learning while writing my book. After reaching more than 45,000 words, I've spent a lot of time looking back on my life, and I've realized that for years, busyness was my way of avoiding difficult emotions. If I was moving, multitasking, taking care of everyone else, planning the next thing, or chasing the next goal, I didn't have to slow down long enough to feel what was really going on inside.
Lately, I've been doing the opposite. I've been setting boundaries, staying home, writing, reflecting, praying, and learning that growth often happens in the quiet moments we try so hard to avoid.
I also share some observations from my recent travels and how watching Europeans experience America through fresh eyes reminded me of the things we often take for granted—our friendliness, our optimism, our communities, and the simple joys that surround us every day.
If you've been feeling overwhelmed, distracted, exhausted, or disconnected, this episode is an invitation to slow down, take a breath, and ask yourself a simple question:
What am I staying busy to avoid feeling?
In this episode:
• Why busyness can become a distraction from our emotions
• What writing my book is teaching me about myself
• The myth of multitasking
• Learning to be present instead of constantly moving
• Gratitude, travel, and seeing America through new eyes
• Why slowing down may be the most productive thing we can do
Thank you for listening. And remember: you are not alone.
