Episode 19 – Honey: Humility, Healing, and the Heart of Yellowstone
In this deeply inspiring episode of Sober Disclosure, Breezy and Jimmy sit down with Honey—founder of Yellowstone, a nonprofit treatment center in Orange County that has become a beacon of hope for those who’ve tried everything else. With 32 years of sobriety under her belt and a soul-deep commitment to service, Honey describes herself as “just trying to be a helper”—but her impact is anything but small.
Yellowstone is where Jimmy went through treatment, and in this full-circle moment, he reflects on how Honey and her program not only helped him heal, but stood by him through court, offering support when it mattered most. Honey’s unique perspective—of someone who works in treatment while fiercely protecting her identity as a member of Alcoholics Anonymous—grounds this episode in humility, grace, and deep experience.
Honey opens up about her own journey, including her very first meeting—Gucci—a Southern California classic that’s still going strong. She shares the simple but powerful story of reaching out her hand as a greeter, and how that one act of service reminded someone they were welcome, even in the depths of a return. With only three sponsors over the course of her sobriety, she speaks lovingly of her longest one, the legendary Pattie O., and how she was really just looking for someone to love her.
Now, 25 years after opening Yellowstone, Honey continues to show up—attending six meetings a week not out of obligation, but because, as she says, “I always feel better when I leave, and I don’t want to miss the awesome meetings.” Her vision is one of radical inclusivity, a program that welcomes everyone and believes recovery is possible for all—no matter how far gone they feel.
Honey’s story is one of transformation, quiet leadership, and getting better in spite of herself. It’s a moving reminder that humility, consistency, and showing up can change not just one life—but thousands.
Tune in for a conversation about legacy, love, and what happens when we extend a hand—and a heart—to the next suffering person.
