My sober podcasting pal Casey Davidson, host of the Hello Someday Podcast, is back on the pod! Together we'll tackle a common sober first: your first sober work conference. Casey has had tons of experience at work conferences, both while she was drinking and while she's been sober, and she's full of advice. Casey will share about the conference experience that served as a wakeup call for her drinking. We'll talk about how unsafe women can be at these events when alcohol is in the mix. And Casey will share how she prepares for and navigates work conferences sober. Remember: a lot of time at conferences is your time! You don't have to go to every planned event. There are so many ways that you can create your own wonderful and unique sober conference experience. Community makes all the difference.

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming, a podcast powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. Terry Keating of the Bonzolium YouTube channel joins the show for a deep, hilarious, and wildly passionate dive into the world of John Bonham. This is a re-airing of an older episode that originally centered around five less obvious Bonzo tracks. And yes, we do get there. But with Terry, the joy is in the detours. This conversation moves through Bonham's feel, the mystery of his gear, Led Zeppelin's live chemistry, the obsession around Ludwig drums and Paiste cymbals, the difference between human time and perfect time, and why Bonzo still feels almost impossible to fully explain. Terry is one of my favorite sources for anything Bonham-related. He brings the kind of energy that makes you want to go back and listen to Led Zeppelin with fresh ears. In this episode, we talk about: • Why The Song Remains the Same was Terry's gateway into Bonham• Bonham's swing, feel, and natural sense of time• Why Zeppelin likely never needed a modern click-track mindset• The difference between human time and quantized perfection• Why Bonham felt like the conductor of Led Zeppelin• The strange magic behind Bonham's snare sound• Why drummers are still obsessed with his exact gear• Ludwig, Paiste, 26-inch bass drums, and the mystery of the 15-inch depth• Terry's friend George Fludas and the art of playing Bonham correctly• The “Bonham engine” and why his physical approach still feels unique• Five deeper Bonzo tracks, including:• “I'm Gonna Crawl”• “In the Light”• “Darlene”• “No Quarter” live• “Dazed and Confused” live This one is loose, nerdy, funny, and full of the kind of Bonzo talk only true Zeppelin heads can provide. Check out Terry's work on the Bonzolium YouTube channel. --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today

Real Sober Mom Erin's childhood revolved around her father's alcohol addiction and she made a promise to herself: that would never be her. Amidst her parents divorce during high school, though, she developed a new opinion: Alcohol felt like it gave her control. And that felt good. From the beginning, Erin knew that she drank differently than others. Once she started she didn't want to stop. And so, she developed a reputation of a party girl, and the party didn't slow down until motherhood. Motherhood gave her a sense of purpose, but as her kids got older and her relationship became more dysfunctional, alcohol crept back into the driver's seat of her life, until she received her second DUI. The probationary period around her DUI resulted in nine months of sobriety, and she truly believed that she could manage alcohol after that. What she didn't know was that the shame and negative effects of alcohol could roar back into her life two-fold. She knew then - she needed a permanent change. Grandmotherhood gave her the final push she needed to change her life. Sobriety for Erin began one day at a time, through faith, community and accountability, and she doesn't regret a single sober day. Every day that she wakes up clear headed is another reminder that she's done the right thing. Community makes all the difference.

What if the smartest legacy move isn't leaving your kids a pile of money someday, but using your wealth right now to help them buy time, build habits, and change their future while you're still here to watch it happen? We sit down with Allen Mueller of 7 Saturdays Financial for a practical, deeply useful conversation about gifting to family with intention. The thread running through all of it is simple: money is not just for accumulating. It's for strengthening the people and values you care about most. This episode covers: Why gifting during your lifetime can be more impactful than leaving a larger inheritance later The difference between a tax threshold and a paperwork threshold for gifts How the annual gift exclusion really works Why many retirees underspend and unintentionally miss chances to help family now Smart ways to fund kids' and grandkids' futures through 529s, custodial Roths, and brokerage accounts How to think about gifting for college, healthcare, and home down payments Why "skin in the game" still matters when helping younger family members How appreciated shares can be gifted downstream or upstream for tax advantages Why wisdom and stewardship matter more than simply transferring money How FI can turn parents and grandparents into real-time wealth builders for the next generation . === SUPPORT  THE  SHOW ===

Today, I'm joined by my co-host Eric Urrea (Marina City, La Armada) and returning guest Zack Albetta (Broadway's & Juliet , Working Drummer Podcast) for another installment of The Drum Panel.

Real Sober Mom Bailey chose sobriety not as a ‘punishment', but as a gift to herself. After a lifetime of difficult relationships with her parents, Bailey became a mom herself. Fear and postpartum depression consumed her because she was terrified of repeating the cycles that had played out in her own family and with her own mom. Bailey sought help, and through her work with an excellent therapist she chose to do the hard work of healing so that she could give her kids a very different kind of family: one filled with unconditional love. Sobriety is central to Bailey's healing work, and it has given her the clarity to fully feel her feelings. She simply loves being a mom and offering her kids a relationship with a supportive sober mom means the world to her. Community makes all the difference.

As we enter the summer concert season (at least here in the midwest) I want you to know: nothing beats a sober concert. They are the best. Seriously, you owe it to yourself to experience a concert without alcohol, especially if an artist you love is performing. The truth is you're never fully present when alcohol is involved. The music flies by while you're thinking about your next drink, or thinking through your moderation rules, or finding yourself standing in the bathroom line as your favorite artist plays your favorite song (trust me, that is the worst!) Sobriety will give you the opportunity to fully experience the concert without anything in the way. There's nothing better. Tell me about your first concert (and your first sober concert, if you've had one) in the comments on my sober concert Substack post. Check out my Substack here! Community makes all the difference.

Today, I'm joined by my trusty co-host Eric Urrea, and one of my best friends, Kris Mazzarisi, owner and founder of Big Fat Snare Drum, and drummer for Winnetka Bowling League. Over on the Big Fat Snare Drum Instagram page, we asked our followers to name their favorite worst-sounding snare drum. What does that even mean? Who the hell knows. But people had opinions. Strong ones. So I took the most popular and most repeated answers, made a list of the top 16 picks, and today, we're going to talk through them. --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today

Courtney joins me for another installment of SobrieTEA and we are two episodes into the Summer House reunion. It's… a lot. So much so that we're dedicating this entire episode to our reunion thoughts. We'll talk about everything having to do with the Amanda and West controversy. Is West a pathy? (what is a ‘pathy'?) What kind of furniture was Meija building at West's house (and how serious was their relationship?!)? Is this the reputation rehab that Kyle needed? Plus, we'll discuss the refreshing amount of tears coming from the men of the show, and we'll discuss the line when reality stops being fun and starts turning dark.

What if the biggest growth opportunity in a chiropractic business isn't more marketing, more hours, or more staff, but simply maximizing what already exists? In this episode, Dr. Josiah Fitzsimmons, joins Dr. Pete to unpack the financial blind spots holding chiropractors back from greater profitability and impact. As the co-founder of Lucro, Dr. Josiah shares insights gathered from years of analyzing financial and operational data across hundreds of chiropractic clinics. Together, they explore the operational patterns, team utilization gaps, and decision-making frameworks that separate stagnant practices from scalable businesses. The conversation reveals how CEOs can use data to increase confidence, unlock untapped revenue potential, and build healthier, more profitable practices without immediately increasing overhead. In This Episode You Will: Understand why most chiropractic practices are dramatically underutilizing their existing capacity Discover the hidden revenue opportunity already sitting inside the average clinic Learn how data-driven decision-making creates stronger operational confidence Clarify the difference between fixed costs, variable costs, and scalable profitability See why growing a business requires different leadership at every stage of scale   Episode Highlights 01:50 - Explore how combining business performance and clinical excellence creates a more complete framework for sustainable growth.  05:24 - Recognize why many practice owners struggle to scale when decisions are driven by opinions rather than operational clarity.  09:44 - Discover why maximizing existing resources often creates greater profitability than immediately expanding capacity.  11:32 - Examine the surprising revenue patterns that separate top-performing practices from the average clinic.  12:53 - Clarify the three-step scaling framework built around capacity awareness, optimization, and strategic expansion.  15:21 - Understand why team performance is often a reflection of systems, training, and operational structure rather than talent alone.  18:12 - Uncover how underutilized teams can quietly limit revenue growth despite significant investment in personnel.  24:15 - Identify how doctors performing non-essential responsibilities can become the primary constraint to business growth.  27:16 - Explore why long waitlists may signal operational bottlenecks rather than evidence of business success.  29:56 - Examine the profitability sweet spot where efficiency, capacity, and overhead reach their strongest alignment.  32:01 - Discover why the strategies that create early growth often become the very obstacles to reaching the next level.  34:55 - Learn how better data creates greater confidence when navigating complex business decisions and growth opportunities. 39:19 - Dr. Chris sits down with Dr. Steve Tullius of Success Partner Waitlist Workshops to explore how practices can attract the right patients through education-first marketing. They discuss how workshops build trust, create demand, and position doctors as the preferred solution. When communication creates certainty, growth becomes more intentional, predictable, and sustainable.   Resources Mentioned Learn more about Lucro and schedule a strategy call, visit: https://morelucro.com/ Get Your Copy of the 2026 Lucro Industry Report here: https://report.morelucro.com/ To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceo For more information about Waitlist Workshops please visit: https://waitlistworkshops.com   Book a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPC Prefer to watch?

After years of feeling like a socially awkward pre-teen, alcohol arrived in real sober mom Laura's life. It seemed to give her the courage to embody the persona of a ‘hot fun party girl,' and with it, she left her sense of awkwardness behind. From there on, ‘booze and boys' took priority over everything else in Laura's life. The party didn't stop when Laura entered her professional life. It didn't stop when she got married. And it didn't stop when she had kids. It just kept changing, and eventually it took on a new role - as a coping mechanism for the identity crisis of motherhood and resentments that she was struggling with in her life. Laura began to question: did she have a problem with alcohol? Laura's first attempt at sobriety was cut short by Covid. Future attempts, including medication and moderation, felt fruitless. She struggled to understand what she was ‘doing wrong' when everywhere else could drink ‘normally'. It was The Sober Mom Life podcast that gave Laura her first peek into who she really wanted to be as a sober woman. Now 2 ½ years sober, she's been a valued part of the Sober Mom Life cafe ever since!

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming, powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. This week on The Drum Panel, I'm joined by my co-host Eric Urrea, an independent drummer from Chicago who plays with Marina City and La Armada, and Steve Durham, who is new to The Drum Panel but returning from Big Fat Five. Steve has worked with artists like Louis Tomlinson, Mumford & Sons, Foals, Wolf Alice, Aurora and a bunch of others. But the reason I wanted him in this conversation is because we'd recently been talking about that voice in your head when you're playing. The one that judges your ideas before they even come out. So that became the jumping-off point. We got into the inner critic, why creativity can feel scary when there's no structure, what changes when you stop trying so hard, how tension shows up in your body, playing to a click without becoming stiff, and whether being in a band is still worth it. It's a good one. Very Drum Panel. --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

My friend Jess of A Sober Girl's Guide is back to tell us all about her proactive sobriety support app: Bestday. Bestday shifts the question away from ‘why am I not drinking?' to ‘Why am I wanting to drink?'. The app's customized daily ‘risk score' will help you proactively prepare for the moment when a craving might hit. This kind of clarity can make all the difference in sustained long term sobriety.The benefits of the app go so much deeper than sobriety, though, and no one knows that better than Jess. Jess unexpectedly lost her mom right as the app was getting close to launch, and the daily tracker helped her immensely in navigating her grief. We'll get deep into grief in this conversation: how grief parallels early sobriety, how to support yourself (and others!) through the grief process, and even what not to do if someone you love is deep in grief. If you're in Vancouver, you'll get to experience Bestday in person! This summer Jess and Bestday will be all around Vancouver with The Bestday mocktail bar. Learn all about it here!

As the child of a parent in recovery, today's Real Sober Mom Meagan was always aware of the dangers of alcohol. It served to keep Meagan away from drinking… until college, of course, when suddenly everyone was doing it. In college and grad school, Meagan kept drinking to a weekend activity. Slowly but surely, though, it found its way into the role of her daily ‘best friend' during a heavy period of loneliness and heartbreak. After a difficult conversation with her current husband, and his recommendation of Quit Like a Woman, Meagan got sober for three years! Motherhood came rushing into Meagan's life when, through foster and natural birth, she became a mom of three… all in one year. Challenges with one of her children wore her down, and she found herself reaching for that old ‘best friend' alcohol to cope. After three years of sobriety, moderation felt possible. Yet, moderation showed itself to be a lie, and addiction took hold. After a terrible experience when she almost lost it all, Meagan knew: alcohol must leave for good. Meagan now attends AA and The Sober Mom Life Cafe! She's crafted the sobriety support that she needs. She wants you to know - don't ever be afraid of starting again… and again… and again. Sobriety will click, and each step you take on the journey is so worth it. Community makes all the difference.

This novel has been recently translated and published by Ignatius Press, and it is championed by Vivian Dudro. Andrew Petiprin joins Vivian to discuss the historical background of Gertrud von le Forte and the novel itself.

We are smack dab in the middle of what I call ‘Maycember', and the tidal wave of end of school year events feels unrelenting. Are you feeling the pre-summer pressure, too? You're not alone! I really lean on my parenting motto throughout May: Half Ass, Whole Heart. By choosing sobriety, you've gone a long way to showing up with your whole heart for your kids. The other stuff? ‘Half ass' it wherever you need to (store bought cookies are great!). Check in with yourself: What can you say no to this week? How can you take care of yourself when you're just trying to survive the month? What thing that doesn't really matter can you gently set aside so that a glass of wine doesn't sound like the solution at the end of the day? It might feel like you're treading water this month - but trust me - you've got this. My 12- week Sober Summer Series is starting next Friday right here on The Weekend Reset!

What is up? Ben here. Another Drum Panel this week powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. This one's with Eric Urrea and E-MAN. We got into studio vs live drumming, why some players obsess over the grid, and whether modern editing has actually made people more musical…or just safer. E-Man had a great point about how at a certain level, everybody can already play close to the click. What actually separates people is sound. The way the drums feel in the room. The way the snare reacts in the verse versus the chorus. The weird little details that actually make a performance feel human. We also talked about: Why a little ugliness in drumming can actually make things feel better Punching in takes vs forcing full performances The reality that basically everybody is getting “fixed” in modern recordings The one cymbal E-MAN would steal from jazz history if he could Goosebumps moments from Nicole Scherzinger, Blink-182, and Dagny Whether any of us ever really stop trying to sound like our heroes Kenny Aronoff's weird tom setup and the chaos of panning it in the studio --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

What if the very thing keeping you “safe” is also the thing keeping you stuck?   In this deeply powerful conversation, Melissa sits down with Lucas Sherraden to unpack the hidden stories, thought patterns, and internal cages that quietly shape the way we lead, live, and show up in the world. From ministry to business leadership, Lucas shares how God completely reframed the way he viewed purpose, identity, fear, and impact — and why so many believers are living far beneath the freedom they were created for.   This episode will challenge the narratives you've accepted, help you recognize subconscious limitations, and invite you into a new level of awareness, courage, and Kingdom influence. If you've ever felt stuck, uncertain, overthinking, or afraid to fully step into what God has called you to do, this conversation will meet you right where you are.   In this episode, you'll discover: Why many leaders unknowingly live inside “cages” created by fear, past experiences, and limiting beliefs How subconscious stories shape your decisions, relationships, leadership, and purpose The powerful question that can completely reframe your thinking: “What else could this mean?” Why awareness and curiosity are essential for becoming a free, faith-led leader How God can use business, leadership, and influence as ministry outside the walls of the church The difference between living safely and living fully alive in your calling Why Christian Business Self Help is about transformation, not just performance How to become the kind of leader who creates impact, freedom, and lasting legacy   Melissa and Lucas also explore how believers can engage culture with wisdom, authenticity, and influence — without hiding behind fear, performance, or religious limitations. This is a conversation about becoming fully alive, fully free, and fully surrendered to the mission God has placed inside of you.   Resources & Links

Juliet Warner's road to sobriety began at age 20 with her first stint in rehab for opiate addiction. For 8 years, she was in and out of rehab and treatment facilities as she struggled with the push and pull of addiction. At 28, her sobriety solidified when she committed to the steps in AA. Yet, she always wondered - would she be able to drink ‘normally' someday? Alcohol hadn't been central to her addiction, after all. Alcohol slowly but surely found its way into Juliet's life eight years later through mommy wine culture. After 9 months, a major mental health slide, and more blackouts than she felt comfortable with, Juliet realized that alcohol was a drug just like all the rest… and one that was no longer welcome in her life. Juliet now shares her story of motherhood and sobriety and is dedicated to helping others on their sober journeys. Check her out @thejulietsocial. Community makes all the difference.

As moms, we give of ourselves from the moment we get up until the moment we put our heads on the pillow. In the midst of all that chaos, your needs are in there, too! Yet, if you're anything like me, your needs are probably the first to get set aside. That's how alcohol found its way into motherhood: In the gap between our needs and the lack of resources we had to meet them. You deserve so much more than that. This is your motherhood experience. You deserve to enjoy it. So I want you to ask yourself - what do you need this Mother's Day? Answering that question and communicating it to your loved ones could go a long way to rebalancing the scales that are so often balanced away from our needs as moms. Happy Mother's Day!

Ben here. On this week's episode of Drummers on Drumming (powered by Big Fat Snare Drum), we're back with another round of The Drum Panel. Joining me: Gunnar Olsen: Currently out with Puscifer Eric Urrea: One of my favorite drummers to talk shop with because he somehow makes existential drum conversations feel practical. This episode starts with Gunnar talking about completely losing the plot during a fill in 5… accidentally playing it in 6… then having to find his way back into the song in real time while thousands of people watched. From there, things spiraled beautifully. We talked about: Why messing up live might actually make a show feel more human The weird pressure of trying not to visibly “count” on stage when you're hearing a click track The difference between “giving” a great show and actually having a great show Whether your real musical voice only shows up when you're alone The strange mental game of joining an established artist and figuring out how much of “you” should show up in the parts Why some of the best gigs happen when nobody notices the drummer at all --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

Work Conferences are a big sober first for a lot of the women in The Cafe, and I have to admit I didn't fully understand… until now. I just got back from my husband's work conference in Texas and wow. There was So. Much. Drinking. If a sober work conference or work event feels daunting for you, then this episode is for you. We'll talk about why these events are so alcohol-drenched, and approaches you can take to get the best out of a work conference without feeling overwhelmed by the pervasive drinking culture that surrounds them.

Kelley Kitley grew up in a world where alcohol wasn't only normalized… it was the family business. As a kid, she lived above her family's bar and she could not wait until she was old enough to experience what this drinking thing was all about. Now a licensed clinical social worker with 13 years of sobriety under her belt, Kelley helps women navigate their own relationships with sobriety, and she gets it. We talk about the ways in which alcohol was central to Kelley's family life growing up, her attempts to ‘dodge the bullet' of addiction by studying psychology, the mental strain of moderation, her experiences in and opinions of AA, her excellent memoir MY Self, and what it was like to go public with her personal story as a psychologist.

We've been sold the idea that moderation is the goal, and that moderation is the ‘right way' to drink. …But what if moderation isn't the goal? What if you allowed yourself to see past all of the guardrails and rules that you've set for yourself in an attempt to control this addictive substance? What could be on the other side in a world where you leave all of this behind? In this episode I've got a few questions for you that will help you better understand your relationship with moderation and alcohol. Because you deserve better than moderation.
