3-21 No Kiddin' Recovery Podcast
3-21 No Kiddin’ began with one woman’s journey away from a bet—and has grown into an ongoing conversation about addiction, sobriety, recovery, self-care, wellness, and what it really takes to build a better life.
Creator and host Bobbie Malatesta began sharing her experience with gambling addiction and gambling recovery after placing her last bet on March 21, 2016. As her own journey evolved—including becoming alcohol-free—the podcast evolved with her.
Today, Bobbie explores problem gambling, alcohol addiction, substance use, behavioral addictions, sober living, mental and emotional wellness, personal growth, and alternative recovery modalities. Guests include people sharing their own lived experiences in recovery as well as professionals, experts, advocates, and practitioners offering different tools and perspectives for healing and healthier living.
There is no one-size-fits-all path to recovery. That's kind of the point.
Through honest conversations, personal stories, education, humor, mistakes, lessons learned, and a willingness to explore different approaches, 3-21 No Kiddin’ is about finding what works for you—whether you're in recovery, sober-curious, supporting someone you love, or simply trying to become a healthier, happier human.
What started as a podcast and personal mission has continued to ripple outward. 3-21 No Kiddin’ is now also a Recovery Playground and sober social club in Naugatuck, Connecticut, creating an alcohol-free, gambling-free adult space for connection, functional and non-alcoholic beverages, events, education, and community.
Subscribe and follow along as Bobbie continues learning, recovering, experimenting, growing—and talking openly about all of it.

Day 15 of the #Fearless30Challenge: The MOST Powerful Investment I Ever Made!
Today, I want to take a moment to fearlessly reflect on a significant investment decision that has had a profound impact on my life.
This post may be as cliche as the come, but it is my truth! The most POWERFUL Investment I ever made was into my dream of Recovery Playgrounds!
I made the decision to invest in myself, the podcast and the 3-21 Dream. It was a leap of faith, as it required me to get past my fears and keep fighting!. Many around me question my choice, but deep down, I knew it was the right path for me.
This investment decision has been a game-changer in more ways than I could have ever imagined. The person I am becoming on this journey is someone I thought I would never know…
The mission itself created a 🔥in me that is indistinguishable
The Podcast 🎤 has allowed me to meet and connect with many knowledgeable experts and amazing people 🌟
Learning to podcast, to be an entrepreneur, marketing, technology all of the coursework and recovery work that I have done has challenged me, developed my mindset and contributed to me living the BEST LIFE EVER! 💪♥️
NONE of this would be possible without committing to myself and the mission. Spending on courses, seminars, events, travel and all the things that go with that, is SO FLIPPING WORTH IT!
I share this story not to boast about my success, but to encourage you to fearlessly explore investment opportunities in your purpose, aligned with your vision and values.
Trust your instincts, do your due diligence, and be willing to take calculated risks.
Remember, the most powerful investments often extend beyond financial gains!
Let's fearlessly embrace the world of investing, leverage our resources, and make choices that have the potential to create lasting impact and fulfillment.
