Addiction doesn't always look like rock bottom—and recovery doesn't have to mean all or nothing. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Katie Lain for a powerful conversation about alcohol, family patterns, and the complicated truth about what healing from addiction can actually look like.They dive into the neuroscience of alcohol use and the way it hijacks the brain's reward system, challenging the outdated narrative that addiction is simply a lack of willpower. Katie shares her personal experience and introduces the Sinclair Method, a treatment approach that uses naltrexone to gradually reduce alcohol cravings—without requiring total abstinence from day one.Lyndsay and Katie also talk about the emotional layers of drinking: early exposure, social pressure, generational trauma, and the quiet shame that keeps so many people stuck. This episode is about choice, compassion, and giving yourself permission to explore recovery in a way that feels honest and sustainable.Tune in if you've ever questioned your relationship with alcohol—or if you're ready to let go of the idea that healing only counts if it looks a certain way.Find Katie Lain Online Here:Website: thrivealcoholrecovery.comInstagram: @thrivealcoholrecoveryFacebook: Thrive Alcohol RecoveryLinkedIn: Katie LainYouTube: Thrive Alcohol RecoveryPodcast: Thrive Alcohol RecoveryFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastEpisode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Alcoholism(02:06) Personal Stories of Alcohol and Family Influence(06:12) Understanding Alcohol Addiction and the Brain(10:16) The Sinclair Method Explained(15:17) The Journey to Recovery and Finding Freedom(20:08) The Challenges of Alcohol Consumption and Social Norms(24:42) Advocacy and Awareness for the Sinclair Method(28:39) Low Dose Naltrexone and Pain Management

Sharon Hodde Miller returns to Shifting Culture to talk about her new devotional, Gazing at God. Building on her earlier work in Free of Me, Sharon explores how the lies of insecurity and comparison keep us trapped in self-preoccupation and how the way of Jesus frees us to lift our eyes toward God and others. Together we talk about why self-esteem culture falls short, how worship reorients us when we spiral inward, the difference between healing the self and neglecting the self, what true success in the kingdom of God looks like, and how abiding in Christ becomes the foundation for real freedom. This is a hopeful and practical conversation about identity, healing, and the joy of gazing at God.Sharon leads Bright City Church in Durham, NC with her husband, Ike, which they planted together in 2018. Sharon earned her M.Div. from Duke Divinity School, and her PhD from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, where she researched the topic of women and calling.In addition to writing for sites like Christianity Today, She Reads Truth, Propel, Relevant, and more, she is the author of three books: Free of Me: Why Life Is Better When It's Not about You, Nice: Why We Love to Be Liked And How God Calls Us to More, and The Cost of Control: Why We Crave It, the Anxiety it Gives Us, and the Real Power God Promises.Sharon travels the country speaking at churches and conferences, and then she loves to return home to her three awesome kids!Sharon's Books:Free of MeGazing at GodSharon's Recommendations:Regenerative PerformanceSubscribe to Our Substack: Shifting CultureConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

In Part 2 of my conversation with singer-songwriter Caryn Dixon, we go deeper into the journey of leaving—and staying gone—from covert narcissistic abuse. Caryn opens up about the staggering reality that it takes an average of seven attempts to leave an abusive relationship before it finally sticks, and why so many survivors find themselves pulled back into the cycle again and again. She shares the powerful response her video on this topic has received—thousands of comments, shares, and private messages from survivors who see their own story reflected in hers. We talk about the heartbreak of repeated attempts, the invisible battles survivors fight to break free, and the hope that comes when we begin to live on the outside of the cage rather than inside it. This is a conversation about resilience, the importance of community, and the way art and storytelling can give survivors permission to believe that freedom is possible.

Send us a textWhat happens when faith meets addiction recovery? Kat's story is a powerful testament to finding freedom through both spiritual awakening and the 12-step program. With raw honesty, she shares her journey from teenage drinking to maintaining a decade of sobriety—revealing the complex dance between faith, fellowship, and personal accountability.Kat takes us through her early years when alcohol first made her feel comfortable in her own skin, through her development of a "double life" as a high-achieving student who partied in secret. Her story pivots when she finds Christianity at 18, experiencing several years of faith-based sobriety before career pressures lead to drinking again, culminating in a devastating spiral that nearly ends at a train track in California.The conversation delves into the fascinating science of equine therapy, where Kat explains how horses—able to detect human heartbeats from 100 yards away—become powerful healing partners for those in recovery. This connection to animals provides a therapeutic bridge that medication alone cannot offer.Perhaps most valuable is Kat's insight into long-term recovery: "Just like alcoholism is progressive, sobriety is progressive." She describes how "the road narrows" the longer you stay sober, requiring increasingly deeper spiritual work and personal growth. Her journey illuminates why simply knowing Jesus differs from walking with Him, and why abstinence alone never addresses the underlying spiritual malady of addiction.Whether you're struggling with substance use, supporting someone who is, or simply curious about the intersection of faith and recovery, this episode offers profound wisdom about healing, accountability, and finding purpose in pain. Join us for this intimate conversation about transformation that happens one day at a time.Thank You for Joining Us.. Please share with friends.

Have you ever felt at war with your own body? Perhaps you've tried to escape it through overwork, screen time, or numbing behaviors. Maybe you've obsessed over perfecting it, measuring your worth by fitness levels or appearance. Either way, the message is clear: your body, as it exists right now, isn't enough.This powerful message challenges that harmful narrative by exploring how God sees our physical existence. Drawing from Genesis, we discover the radical truth that our bodies are created in God's image and declared "very good"—not as temporary shells holding the "real us," but as intentional, valuable parts of our whole being. This truth stands in stark contrast to ancient Gnosticism (which viewed bodies as bad and spirits as good) and modern tendencies to either dismiss or idolize our physical selves.The incarnation takes this truth even further. When "the Word became flesh," God didn't merely appear human—he fully entered the human experience. Jesus felt hunger, fatigue, and pain. He enjoyed food, friendship, and rest. This wasn't God hovering above our weakness but stepping directly into it. And if God was willing to take on flesh, our bodies must matter deeply.Discipleship, then, can never be reduced to right beliefs or spiritual practices alone. It must include how we treat our physical selves. Our choices about sleep, food, movement, and rest aren't disconnected from faith—they're opportunities to honor God with our whole being. And ultimately, the resurrection confirms that God's plan isn't to save us from our bodies but to redeem them completely.What might change if you started seeing your body not as a problem to solve but as part of God's masterpiece? Consider thanking God for your body today, imperfections and all, and ask how you might honor him with your physical life this week. Will you give your whole self to the One who gave His whole self for you?Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode, consider subscribing to Madison Church on your favorite podcast platform.

Today, I interview Liz Sweet, who spent years feeling the pressure to be polished and perfect, even when it left her exhausted. Growing up in Los Angeles, she was encouraged to use her voice, but only her polished side was welcomed, while her vulnerable self was seen as “too much.”As she built her career leading trainings around the globe, Liz created a confident persona that looked successful on the outside but drained her on the inside. Her turning point came when she discovered a presence-based approach and realized that real confidence comes not from performance, but from connection.In this conversation, Liz shares what it meant to drop the mask, move through discomfort, and find the deep freedom of being seen as her whole self. She shows how presence—not polish—is what allows your true voice to shine.__________________Liz Sweet is the founder of Connected Speaking, where she helps professionals find real confidence in their voice and leadership. With over a decade of experience training nonprofit and philanthropic leaders, she knows how easily the pressure to prove yourself can take over—no matter your role.Liz also knows this struggle personally. For years, she battled speaking anxiety, relying on performance and polish to get by. Her turning point came when she discovered a presence-based approach that helped her move beyond fear and perfectionism into genuine confidence and ease.Today, Liz leads supportive group programs and coaching that go deeper than surface-level techniques. She guides people to feel at home in their voice, connect more authentically, and lead with greater impact.__________________Find Liz here:www.ConnectedSpeaking.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethasweet/ Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

Today's guest and I discuss the nuance of relationships and spaces where love and harm coexist. Lauren Smallcomb is a certified Mind-Body Practitioner whose journey as a healer began at 20 when she became a registered nurse, dedicating a decade to caring for patients in the ER. She later expanded her expertise to become a birth doula and, eventually, a nutritional therapist. In 2020, after making the difficult decision to walk away from a dysfunctional family system, Lauren embarked on a transformative process of rebuilding her mind and body through brain retraining and trauma healing. This journey inspired her to become a certified Mind-Body Practitioner. Her newfound sense of empowerment prompted Lauren and her therapist husband to establish Flourish Therapy, with the intention of helping others heal and thrive after childhood trauma. Born and raised in upstate New York, they now make their home in Northern Thailand with their children, two dogs, and a cat. Golden Child is available on Amazon and at flourishtherpy.co. You can get Lauren's "101+ Doses of Courage" on their site as well.

Outcome independence is a concept or mindset where you detach your well-being, happiness, and self-worth from external sources. It's giving less f*cks and letting go of needing things to be a certain way to be happy. It's releasing attachment to "happiness" as a destination you can strive and achieve your way into. Instead, you focus on the journey, allowing and enjoying the unfolding, and being present for your life today. You do things because you enjoy them, NOT because of what you are trying to achieve or extract from them.In this week's show, I'm sharing all about how to find freedom and flow with outcome independence. This one shift could radically amplify your enjoyment of life, y'all!

What if the very thing keeping you from peace, joy, and abundance isn't outside of you at all, but the weight of unforgiveness you've been carrying? In this episode of Our Reimagined Life, I'm continuing our Summer mini-series on the Universal Laws for Beginners, and today we're exploring the Law of Forgiveness. This law is not optional for a life of freedom—it's the doorway to love, creativity, health, and abundance. I share my own story of carrying resentment for years, how it shaped my relationships, and the shift that happened when I finally chose to forgive. We'll talk about the two sides of forgiveness—toward others and toward ourselves—and why both are necessary for living free. Forgiveness isn't about excusing the past or pretending it didn't matter. It's about releasing yourself from the heavy chains of resentment so you can live in alignment with divine love. You'll also learn practical steps you can take to begin your own journey of forgiveness—reflection, reframing, releasing, and even a mantra to help you feel the shift in your body. And we'll return to the words of Jesus, who reminded us to forgive “seventy times seven,” meaning its something we much consistently do. If today's episode spoke to you, would you do me a favor? Share it with a friend who might need this reminder, and leave a review at ratethispodcast.com/ourreimaginedlife. So that we can spread this message to more people who are ready to reimagine their life. I love you, Julie
