It's Bizzy
It’s Bizzy is about real life—the messy parts, the funny parts, the hard parts, and everything in between.
I’m Elizabeth “Bizzy” Chance, and after years of talking about sobriety and recovery, the conversation has grown into something bigger. We talk about health and wellness, relationships, family, faith, reinvention, current events, aging, starting over, and figuring out how to live a life that actually feels like yours.
Some episodes are solo, some are conversations with experts, authors, doctors, coaches, and people with interesting stories—but the goal is always the same: to have honest conversations that make us think, laugh, question things, and maybe do life a little differently.
I don’t have all the answers, and I’m not interested in pretending I do. I’m interested in asking better questions, staying curious, and continuing to grow.
Welcome to It’s Bizzy. Life is complicated. Let’s talk about it.
