We are smack dab in the middle of December and I don't know about you, but during this season I often feel like I am the only mom coming up short in a world full of moms who have everything together. It's times like these that I am so grateful for my sobriety. My sobriety is deeply rooted in motherhood, so today I'm going to share a bit about my parenting philosophy - Half Ass. Whole Heart. The goal of parenting isn't to strive for Pinterest perfection. It's to be a safe, steady place for our kids. And for me, sobriety is the key. Community makes all the difference.

Giving up alcohol originally felt to Mary Alice Stephens like leaving so many things behind - ‘Fun Mary', date nights with her husband, friendships that centered around wine, and a father who expressed his love through alcohol. Now fourteen years sober, Mary Alice can look back and confidently say that the leap was so worth facing her fears. Mary is the author of the new book Uncorked: A Memoir of Letting Go and Starting Over. In the book and in our conversation she shares the wisdom she has gleaned from almost a decade and a half of sobriety, the things she still reaches for in her sobriety toolkit to stay confidently sober in her current life, and wonderful advice on how to navigate your first sober holiday season.The biggest lightbulb moment for Mary was the realization that her behavior wasn't ‘her'. It was the alcohol. Placing the blame squarely where it deserved to be gave Mary the freedom to make a different choice, and she is not looking back!

So much of my sobriety is rooted in gratitude. Not inauthentic gratitude that feels forced, but the true deeply rooted gratitude I feel as I'm present for each beautiful everyday moment of life. With each passing year I find that my well of gratitude deepens. And the women I've interviewed who've been sober for 10, 15, 20 years? They've confirmed it - your gratitude in sobriety will only continue to grow. It does not max out. So if you're in early sobriety and you're not feeling the gratitude yet? Keep going. You have taken a brave leap of faith, and it is going to get better, and better, and better. Does sobriety during the upcoming holiday season feel overwhelming? Sign up for my 10-Day Holiday Series!

The holiday season often magnifies everything we feel, joy, yes, but also sorrow. In this short teaching, I talk honestly about navigating grief and loss during a time when the world expects us to celebrate. Whether you've lost a loved one, a relationship, a dream, or a sense of stability, you are not alone.In this video, we explore what grief and mourning really are, why conflicting emotions are normal, how grief is a process rather than a single event, and why holidays can make the pain feel even stronger. I also share practical tips for caring for your heart during this season, along with the hope we have in a God who walks with us through the valley. If you're grieving right now, may these words remind you that God sees you, God is near, and healing—real healing—is still possible.Get Your Copy of My Books:https://www.oneidentitymovement.square.site Donate (OIM Website):https://www.oneidentitymovement.com/support Get your free guide to identity in Christ:https://www.oneidentitymovement.com/subscribeCheck our my merch!https://oneidentitymovement.square.site I'm on social!Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/samuel.petty3/ Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/samuelcpetty My E-courses:https://www.oneidentitymovement.com/teaching

Your sobriety isn't a committee decision. It's OK if your family and friends don't understand.Yes, it's scary. If your family has always bonded over alcohol, it can feel lonely to be sober during the holiday season. It's a challenging shift to put yourself first and not people-please to make others comfortable during the holidays. But believe me, you can do it. Today, I'll discuss how you can still be involved in holiday festivities, how to invite your family members to support you, and ideas for starting new traditions that don't include alcohol.

Registered Nurse and Sobriety Coach Kate Vitela is here to remind you that no matter where you are on your sobriety journey, you are always allowed to change. Kate shares the story of how alcohol became a way of life for her as a young nurse and how her attempt at switching to cannabis wound up unraveling her life in a way that led to full sobriety. She also shares about her experiences with AA. Originally a program that changed her life, Kate felt after a couple of years of sobriety that she no longer wanted to identify as an ‘alcoholic'. This choice led her to unexpected backlash that led her to step away from the program and develop her own. Kate is now a sober coach and sober podcaster focusing on a message that blends science, spirituality, real stories, and humor to create a recovery approach that's authentic and empowering.

"Entrepreneurship is the craziest, scariest roller coaster ever." What happens when selling RVs leads to buying dental scrap, melting it down for precious metals, and then launching a startup with a mission to bless lives? In this episode, I talk with Brandon Sherwood about entrepreneurship, family, and why it's just not that serious. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. In This Episode In this episode, Michael Dargie chats with Brandon Sherwood, an entrepreneur from Heber City, Utah, whose path has been anything but ordinary. Brandon runs a business that buys dental scrap—old crowns and bridges—and refines them into precious metals like gold and palladium. It's a niche market with a 10-to-15 year runway, but for Brandon, the real story is how it led him to launch Gladly Network, a startup built on a mission statement as simple as it is powerful: bless lives . Gladly is designed to connect small, impact-driven businesses with people in meaningful ways, starting with dental offices as a kind of employee perk system. For Brandon, it's about more than business—it's about making sure his company continues to add value long after the dental scrap dries up. He explains the challenges and joys of building something new, calling entrepreneurship "the craziest, scariest roller coaster ever" . The conversation stretches back to Brandon's roots: growing up in Arkansas, working in his dad's RV dealership, and discovering that while cubicle life wasn't for him, sales and relationships were. He tells the story of how a cousin pulled him into the strange world of dental scrap on his day off from selling RVs—and how eight months later, he made the leap into a whole new career . Beyond work, Brandon opens up about raising four teenage boys, how experiences like concerts, sports, and camping trips matter more than things, and why his favourite recharge involves disappearing into the Utah mountains to sit under an aspen tree and remember that life's problems aren't that serious . From street tacos in Cozumel to family Halloween costumes, Brandon's story is one of humour, humility, and hope. His advice to rebels in waiting: you've got to love it, believe in it, and remember that failure is just part of the process—so keep throwing the ball in the right direction. Quoteable Quotes "It's just not that serious. Take a breath.

""You shouldn't use words to burn. They should be for light and for warmth." Richard has spent the last 19 years running a near-shore bilingual contact center that thrives on empathy, communication, and human connection in an era dominated by automation. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. In this episode, Michael Dargie sits down with Richard Blank, CEO of Costa Rica's Call Center. Richard has spent the last 19 years running a near-shore bilingual contact center that thrives on empathy, communication, and human connection in an era dominated by automation . Richard's story begins in Philadelphia, where childhood trips to Mexico sparked his love of Spanish and culture. After studying Spanish in college, he took what was supposed to be a short trip to Costa Rica to teach English at a friend's center. Instead, he fell in love—with the country, with the culture, and with the woman who would become his wife. That leap of faith became a lifelong adventure, culminating in the creation of Costa Rica's Call Center . He explains why call centers aren't just about dialing lists—they're about rhetoric, persuasion, and the art of speech. For Richard, the real skill lies in listening, building rapport, and finding those rare "positive escalations" where a customer compliments an agent to their supervisor. He compares communication to fire: it can burn, but it can also light and warm, and the best agents know how to use it for encouragement and clarity . The conversation ranges widely, from his love of 1970s electromechanical pinball machines and jukebox rescues in the Costa Rican mountains, to his passion for movies like Fast Times at Ridgemont High and The Maltese Falcon. Richard also shares the daily joys of Costa Rican life—warm rain in a convertible, fresh seafood at the market, and the surreal beauty of the rainforest . At the heart of it all is his philosophy: rebels in waiting should remove unnecessary weight, play the long game, and find balance. Business doesn't require shortcuts or being number one—it requires integrity, patience, and compassion. His advice is simple: plan ahead, stay curious, and make space for yourself so your best ideas can surface. Quoteable Quotes "It's a luxury trade—where else can you speak to hundreds of people a day?" — Richard Blank "You shouldn't use words to burn. They should be for light and for warmth." — Richard Blank "If you can't find ways to decompress, you'll never last as an entrepreneur." — Richard Blank "They need more compassion—it starts with simply acknowledging existence." — Richard Blank "You're Canadian, that's fun." — Richard Blank Episode Highlights Costa Rica's Call Center | Building a near-shore bilingual hub of empathy and communication. Spanish Major to CEO | How a short trip turned into a lifelong adventure. Pura Vida Life | Why Costa Rica feels like paradise. The Art of Speech | Listening, persuasion, and positive escalations. Pinball Collection | Rescuing 1970s electromechanical treasures from the mountains. Jukeboxes Too | Preserving vintage machines as cultural artifacts. Movie Buff | From The Maltese Falcon to Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Rain in a Convertible | Everyday magic in Costa Rica. Compassion First | Why acknowledging existence is the start of connection.

There's a problematic message in our society that tells us that we only need to quit drinking if our drinking looks ‘that bad'. You know the kind - Meg Ryan in When A Man Loves a Woman or Nicholas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas. This message can cause so many challenges for women on their sobriety journeys. It can make them second guess themselves about whether or not they need to quit drinking, even as their personal relationship with alcohol becomes more and more negative. But what if you reframed this message? What if you stopped asking if you were ‘that bad', and started asking if alcohol was that bad? How would this change your perspective?

Brian shares his experiences making a living in pop-punk, dealing with impostor syndrome, and finding ways to keep joy alive when your passion becomes your paycheck.

In this episode, we discuss: The journey from feeling confident to realizing how much there is still to learn. Brian's experience with the moment he thought, "Maybe I'm not good enough to be doing this," and how that thought motivated him to move forward. Eric's nightmare scenario of being asked to "play a drum solo" in the middle of a set. The ways stage banter can feel scripted and how bands should acknowledge it. The idea that filming every show can help combat perfectionism, but also damage your ego.

In this episode, Dave Morrow gives a fiery critique of Canada's recent announcement to recruit 300,000 public servants into the supplementary reserve. The plan aims to create a 'tiger team' of warriors with minimal training. Dave challenges the logic behind this initiative, arguing that public servants lack the necessary combat psychology and skills. Highlighting the disconnect between military and public service mentality, the video questions the feasibility and wisdom of this new defence mobilization strategy. Viewers are invited to share their thoughts on whether this is a good idea or a misguided venture.

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming, powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. This week's The Drum Panel features me, Eric Downs, and Chance Famighetti (aka Free Arlo). Eric's the music director behind Nicky Youre's current live show—the same gig Chance once bluffed his way into before I took over. Together, we dig into what it means to actually sound human on stage in a world obsessed with perfection. Eric opens up about imposter syndrome as an MD, Chance explains how he rewired his brain to stop overthinking fills, and I share what it's like being critiqued for the first time by another drummer. We also discuss: • Why drummers should separate identity from the instrument • Producing vs. drumming—and how one mindset improves the other • Improving via recording yourself before the haters get involved • The art of being coached without losing your confidence We wrap by talking about playing for the audience versus the band, knowing your “why” on stage, and how to build a live show that feels real, messy, and alive. --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

Fellow Wisconsinite and sober coach Heather Lowe loved the way alcohol made her feel from a very young age. She kept her fears that she might have a problematic relationship with alcohol under wraps for decades, until a flurry of life changes and tragedies led to her begin to ‘drink her grief' instead of feeling it. Heather wanted to blame everything but alcohol for the ways in which she felt like she was losing her grip, so much so that she began to try ‘sober experiments' to prove to herself that alcohol wasn't the problem. She was surprised to find, though, that she was feeling better and better during her periods of sobriety.Quitting for real felt terrifying. A longtime party girl, Heather couldn't imagine losing friends through such a big life change. The honest truth was that she did lose friends, but she developed a much more important friendship along the way - a deep and meaningful friendship with herself. Now seven years sober, Heather works with women in all stages of sobriety to help them navigate their own sober journeys. She wants you to know: There is so much potential in sobriety.

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming, a podcast powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. This week's episode features my buddy Chance Famaghetti, also known as Free Arlo. He was the first drummer for Nicky Youre—the artist we both now tour for—but these days he's behind the piano while I'm on drums. It's a wild and funny conversation about how Chance said “yes” to playing drums for Nicky… before he actually knew how. What started as a bluff turned into a crash course in drumming, arenas, and self-belief. We dig into how producing helped him fake his way through those early gigs, what it felt like to play arenas without knowing how to set up a hi-hat clutch, and how saying yes to one opportunity changed his entire life. We also talk about his artist project Free Arlo, lessons from touring, why personality keeps you the gig more than skill, and how he's built a creative life that spans piano, drumming, and sound design. --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

Welcome back to The Drum Panel with me, Ben Hilzinger, alongside Eric Urrea and Kris Mazzarisi. We cover a lot of ground today, but most of our conversation centers around image—what it means, how it evolves, and why it matters. It's a loaded topic that hits everyone differently, but we do our best to share honest takes from our experiences as working musicians. Think of it as equal parts peer therapy and real-world advice for drummers coming up in the scene. - Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming. This is another installment of Big Fat Five—the series where I sit down with my favorite drummers and ask them to break down the five records that shaped how they approach the kit. Lately I've been fortunate to have guests who've already appeared in other drummers' Big Fat Fives, and today's guest is one of them: Terry Silverlight. Terry's career is so deep and wide-ranging that I almost don't even want to start listing artists. His discography is massive — you can check it out on his website HERE and he's still extremely active today. He was already recording at 14 on his brother Barry Miles' record, and he hasn't slowed down since. Along the way he's worked with everyone from George Benson to Roberta Flack to Natalie Merchant, just to name a few. This episode doesn't veer from the Big Fat Five format, but Terry interleaves the records that shaped him with the way music has been ingrained in his life from day one. I mention this at the top of our chat, but it's worth saying again here — the through-line of music in Terry's story is undeniable. Toward the end, I also ask him about a session that came up in Aaron Steele's episode a while back, when Aaron brought up Terry's work with the band Change. If you haven't heard that one, go back and check it out — Aaron's a young legend in his own right. - Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming. This is another installment of Big Fat Five—the series where I sit down with my favorite drummers and ask them to break down the five records that shaped how they approach the kit. This week, I'm joined by the legendary Calvin Rodgers. His playing has helped define modern gospel drumming through his work with Fred Hammond, Kirk Franklin, and John P. Kee. And speaking of John P. Kee—Calvin's performance on "Rain On Us" has come up again and again in other drummers' Big Fat Fives. I had to ask him about it, and his story doesn't disappoint. - Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

We're back with another installment of Big Fat Five - a segment of the show where I chat with my favorite drummers about the 5 records that shaped their approach to the instrument. This week's guest is Zach Danziger...a drummer/composer who refuses to let tradition box him in. From early days with Wayne Krantz to collaborations across jazz, fusion, film, and experimental projects, Zach has built a career that's as deep as it is unpredictable. Sometimes you click with everything a guest says…and this conversation was just that. Talking with Zach not only made me more confident in who I am as a player, but also excited to explore elements I've been neglecting. That being said, I hope you enjoy the 5 records that helped shape Zach Danziger into the player he is today. Cheers.  - Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

26 Jerks in the Work Place...Are You 27? Your workplace should be a place of growth, teamwork, and purpose—but what happens when one person throws it all off track? In his new book The One-Minute Jerk at Work, Rich Salon—better known as “Rich the HR Guy”—shines a bright light on the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways toxic behaviors can creep into your office and derail your career. On this episode of A New Direction with Coach Jay Izso, we'll unpack these behaviors, why they matter, and what you can do about them. Have you ever had a coworker like Wesley the Weasel who constantly takes credit for your ideas, or Micromanaging Maria who micromanages every move, or Rumor Mill Roger who thrives on stirring up drama with Rumors? Rich calls them “one-minute jerks”—people who may only need sixty seconds to poison a conversation, a meeting, or even an entire workplace culture. Together, we'll explore the practical tools from his book that help you identify these jerks early and stop their behavior from taking root. But this conversation isn't just about spotting the jerks around you—it's also about a little self-reflection. Could you be number 27...the one-minute jerk without realizing it? Rich's insights go beyond finger-pointing and invite us to hold up a mirror, recognize blind spots in our own behavior, and make changes that foster trust, respect, and productivity. Whether you're a leader trying to build a stronger team, an employee navigating difficult dynamics, or simply someone who wants to work in a healthier environment, this episode will give you the strategies to create a more positive and effective workplace. Join me, Coach Jay, for this powerful and eye-opening discussion with Rich Salon—because the jerk at work doesn't have to win. Rich Salon's book, "The One-Minute Jerk at Work" is a fun, fast, educational read that you will take with you to work immediately.  You will be diagnosing your co-workers and wondering why they became a "Micromanaging Maria" or a "Pessimist Pete" and how they are disrupting the workplace. The next question is "what can I do about it?" Rich offers suggestions there too. The book also comes with self-reflecting questions that you need to ask yourself.  The fact is we all lack self-awareness and Rich Salon wants to make sure that you are also taking a close look at yourself because while there are 26 mentioned in the book you may be number 27. Insightful, enjoyable and well written, The One-minute Jerk at Work will be a fun read to explore and do some critical self-analysis so you avoid being a "Jerk at Work" yourself.
