Podcasts about hitting rock bottom

On our perpetual quest for bigger, better, faster, wealthier, and stronger, we're led to believe that more is the answer – more gadgets, advanced technology, connections, resources, money, entertainment, etc. But what if there was a case to be made the answer to fulfillment is not in more but in less? My guest today, Dewyane Noel, makes that case. We talk about why less is more, how to reduce noise, chaos, and distraction in the modern world, the value of a hard day's work, what we can learn about human behavior through good horsemanship, and why good men ride good horses.

It is November 1462 and the emperor Friedrich III and his young family are huddling together in the cellars of the Hofburg. The citizens of Vienna are shooting cannonballs into the 13th century castle, the walls are crumbling and any moment now the angry crowds may break in. Outside, supporting the insurrection stood his own brother, calling on him to give up. Two crowns he has already lost and a third is about to be knocked off his head as the imperial princes had ganged up on him. Friedrich III was a man who firmly believed in ancient laws and traditions and was profoundly ill suited for a world where, as Picciolomini wrote in the last sentence of his history of the emperor Friedrich III quote: “We are of the opinion that empires are won by weapons, not by legal means!” Friedrich III and with him the Habsburgs hit rock bottom, but how and why exactly he ended up there, and w hat that tells us about the profound changes during this period of history is what we are going to explore in this episode.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram: history_of_the_germansTwitter: @germanshistoryTo make it easier for you to share the podcast, I have created separate playlists for some of the seasons that are set up as individual podcasts. they have the exact same episodes as in the History of the Germans, but they may be a helpful device for those who want to concentrate on only one season.

Hey, Heal Squad! We're back with Part 2 of our conversation with Mayci Neeley, star of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives! Mayci opens up about navigating the emotional rollercoaster of IVF, motherhood, and healing after trauma, and what it really takes to find balance through it all. She shares how she's learned to protect her peace, release control, and lean into faith when life doesn't go as planned (all while filming a reality TV show)! They talk about setting boundaries, staying grounded in chaos, and the daily practices that help her return to joy. PLUS, they dive into the importance of slowing down, listening to your body, and creating boundaries that protect your mental and spiritual health (even when life feels overwhelming). You're never too far from peace, and balance is something you can build, even in the hardest seasons!  HEALERS & HEAL-LINERS:  Healing is about doing hard things anyway. Mayci shares how her IVF journey taught her that strength isn't about having it all together, it's about walking through discomfort, uncertainty, and fear, and realizing you can survive more than you thought you could. Joy can be a form of medicine. Even after loss and trauma, Mayci chooses laughter, connection, and lightness. She reminds us that healing doesn't mean ignoring pain, it means letting joy have a seat at the table too. Friendship is a safe haven for healing. Through her bond with Michaela, Mayci shows how honest, supportive relationships can help us process pain without getting lost in it, and that sometimes healing starts simply by being seen.

In this deeply personal episode, Ryan opens up about his own divorce - how it unfolded, what he learned, and how men can navigate their own journey with strength and integrity. Drawing from experience and thousands of conversations with men, Ryan shares five things NOT to do and five things TO do when facing divorce. He reminds listeners that divorce, while painful, doesn't have to be the end - it can be the start of rebuilding your life with purpose, clarity, and resilience. Key Takeaways Five Don'ts:  - Don't sedate yourself - Avoid alcohol, porn, or distractions that numb growth.  - Don't stalk your ex - Cut off emotional dependence and focus forward.  - Don't sleep around - Don't use others to fill emotional voids.  - Don't seek vengeance or self-harm - You're needed, and life can get better.  - Don't watch porn - It distorts intimacy and respect for women. Five Do's:  - Build male friendships - Brotherhood is essential for healing and accountability.  - Develop new skills - Strengthen your financial and professional foundation.  - Learn a new hobby - Rediscover fun, joy, and adventure.  - Train your body - Rebuild strength, confidence, and vitality.  - Give back - Serving others heals your own pain.

Matt & Bob are powered by Chuy, as per usual on this fine Thursday morning. BOB gets into hot water with his wife by standing on the business of not paying an unfair fee levied against the community, Gene Simmons gets up to "concussion people", monkey madness behind the wheel, and the intern formerly known as Georgia comes clean about her legal troubles, starting the new trend of hitting rock (and roll) bottom and calling it "Pulling a Georgia". Maybe that is what Gene Simmons was trying to do. Anywho, she probably needs a new name. Send appropriate and polite suggestions, please. She is still a Lady. Sawyer Stull pops by with his perky pup. Cuteness ensues. See you tomorrow for hotdog Fri-yay! Support the show: https://www.klbjfm.com/mattandbobfm/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

110. How to Rethink Drinking Without "Hitting Rock Bottom"What if your relationship with alcohol doesn't require a dramatic rock-bottom moment to change? In this episode of SetSet, I sit down with sobriety coach Martha Wright, who went from building a life around wine—professionally and personally—to questioning its role in her daily rituals. Just as I did with cannabis. Together, Martha and I explore what it means to be a “gray area drinker,” how midlife hormonal shifts impact our cravings and consumption, and how reframing our beliefs about alcohol can free us from it—without shame or labels. This conversation is rich in neuroscience, compassion, and personal insight, offering a fresh and empowering approach to alcohol use.

There may have been a time or two in our lives we felt like we hit rock bottom.  What do we do when we hit rock bottom?  There is always hope because as Jesus prayed for Peter that his faith would not fail him, Jesus has prayed for us.  Peter may have faltered, but his faith did not fail him.  There is a sifting we all will go through but we must seek the Lord during that sifting.

In this episode of Recovery Matters, TJ sits down with Matt, a young person in recovery who now works as a Young People and Family Services Coordinator with CCAR. Matt opens up about his journey, beginning with his first treatment at just 13 years old. Despite having parents in recovery, he struggled deeply with drugs, arrests, and time in the juvenile justice system. He shares the progression of his addiction—weed and pills leading to heroin, crack, and near-fatal lows including homelessness, suicidal thoughts, and severe health complications. A turning point came when he entered detox and long-term treatment programs, where structure and community support helped him rebuild his life. Matt also talks about relapse, rebuilding quickly, and how building a strong network of sober friends became crucial to his recovery. His story highlights both the tragedy of losing friends to overdose and the joy of discovering a fulfilling sober life—travel, motorcycles, relationships, and most importantly, fatherhood. Becoming a dad gave Matt a new sense of purpose, grounding his recovery in love and responsibility.  00:00 – Introductions00:36 – First Treatment at 1305:00 – Escalating Addiction07:00 – First Arrests & Juvenile Justice08:00 – Hitting Rock Bottom at 1810:00 – Sober House & Overdose Scare13:00 – Relapse After Heartbreak15:00 – Waterbury & Heavy Addiction17:30 – Final Turning Point19:00 – Structured Recovery & Torrington Move22:00 – Slip & Quick Return to Recovery23:00 – Building a New Life25:00 – Meeting His Fiancée & Becoming a Father29:00 – Parenthood in Recovery34:00 – Advice for Newcomers ----Across the Web----

In this powerful and thought-provoking conversation, meditation teacher and author Billy Winn shares his journey from heavy drinking to finding peace and fulfillment through Zen Buddhist practice. Billy talks about the pivotal moment that led him to stop drinking, the lessons he learned from opening (and later closing) an alcohol-free bar, and the transformative power of meditation in rewiring the brain. He opens up about childhood adversity, workaholism, burnout, and how he ultimately found freedom by realizing he was already enough—without needing to do more or be more.  We also discuss his new book The Empty Path: Finding Fulfillment Through the Radical Art of Lessening and his work shaping psychedelic-assisted therapy policy in Colorado. This is a must-listen for anyone curious about sobriety, mindfulness, or how to find peace in a busy world. Before we jump in, I wanted to let you know I am about to publish the second episode of “Sobriety Reset” which will be focused on what I think are the 3 phases of recovery, and this is after 31 years of personal research and experience. I'm going to cover everything from how to rebuild self-esteem and why that's important, how to identify the root causes that may compel you to drink, and of course, emotion management to make sobriety stick.

Joseph Schultze's life looked nothing like the path that would eventually lead him toward prison. Growing up in Binghamton, New York, he had a loving home — but also parents battling cocaine addiction. Forced to take care of them while still a teenager, Joseph dropped out of high school and developed crippling anxiety. A car accident became the turning point that pulled him into painkillers, harder drugs, and a spiral of crime that racked up multiple larceny charges. Facing years behind bars, Joseph took a chance on New York's infamous shock program — a grueling alternative to prison designed to break inmates down physically and mentally. #AddictionRecovery #PrisonStories #ShockProgram #OvercomingAddiction #TrueCrimePodcast #AddictionAwareness #LifeAfterPrison #RecoveryJourney Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Get 50% off the Magic Mind offer here: https://www.magicmind.com/IANB50. #magicmind #mentalwealth #mentalperformance Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Use code LOCKEDIN for 20% OFF Wooooo Energy Buy Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction & Early Addiction 00:50 Meet Joe: Hometown and Upbringing 02:00 Parents' Punk Rock Past & Family Struggles 04:04 Childhood Stories 07:00 Parents' Arrest 09:45 Family History & Normalcy Amidst Chaos 12:26 Dreams for the Future & Sports 13:51 Struggles in School and Dropping Out 14:44 Hitting Rock Bottom in High School 17:17 The GED, New School, and Finding Purpose 18:35 Early Jobs & Anxiety Takes Over 19:37 Battling Severe Anxiety and Isolation 21:18 Emerging from Anxiety 22:26 Family Crises and New Responsibilities 23:54 Balancing Business, Love, and Parental Care 27:32 Becoming a Parent: Breaking the Cycle? 32:30 The Accident That Changed Everything 36:56 Raising a Daughter 40:40 Understanding His Parents 42:58 Losing Prescription Access 45:39 Descent Into Heroin and Selling Possessions 47:59 From Using to Dealing & Living the Fast Life 52:40 Boosting: Shoplifting to Survive 57:07 Life of Boosting: Escalation and Arrests 01:04:04 Legal Trouble: Juggling Charges and Addiction 01:11:49 The Downward Spiral: High-Speed Chases & More Crime 01:18:19 Identity Theft & First Long Jail Stint 01:26:32 Jail, Withdrawal, and Hitting Bottom 01:36:08 Back to the Streets: Meth, Cars & Escalation 01:42:17 Caught Again: The End of Bonnie & Clyde 01:44:55 State Time: Programs & Military Boot Camp 01:56:41 Shock Program: Getting Broken Down to Build Up 02:08:08 Completing Shock & The Path to Recovery 02:13:13 Staying Sober, Rebuilding Life & Family 02:20:00 Lessons Learned & Final Thoughts 02:25:52 Outro & Gratitude Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

A rock bottom moment isn't required to get sober, although it obviously helps. We have no control over what will be our rock bottom, and often we stack consequences for a long time before enough is finally enough. In this episode I discuss what to do if you haven't had a rock bottom yet. You'll learn about 3 key things I've noticed that dabblers do that prevent them from getting sober for good, and what I would suggest doing if you haven't hit your enough point yet.

In this episode of Unwritten, Trevor sits down with Santonio Hill to talk about Santonio's friend Cole. After achieving wild success in acting and modeling, a friend keeps hitting rock bottom until he demands the one thing his Catholic friend has: joy.Whether you're someone seeking the meat of a life quest for meaning, or just curious about how persistent prayer and radical hospitality can lead to conversion, this conversation will provide a living and vibrant testimony that God powerfully uses commitment in daily prayer for conversion.What You'll Hear:• The three-year pattern of superficial conversations that was broken when Cole approached Santonio at his wedding and whispered, "Your life is awesome and I want it".• How achieving wild success in acting was repeatedly met with emptiness, causing Cole to grow tired of hitting rock bottom and finally ask Santonio to sit with him at Mass.• The moment Cole confessed to Santonio, saying, "To be honest with you, when I close my eyes and I look for God the Father, for whatever reason, your face pops up," leading to intensive discipleship focused on apologetics and reading scripture.Hit follow or subscribe so you don't miss future episodes!

Sometimes storms hit our life, perhaps some we've created and we hit rock bottom - the lowest point in our life. All hope is gone with no way to recover and move on. But paradoxically, hitting rock bottom can be a catalyst for the need for radical change. When we turn our life over to the grace of God, we will find His power that pulls us up & gives us new purpose.

Ocean Eagle: Embracing Our Traumas Through Breathwork | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this riveting episode of The Hopeaholics Podcast, Ocean Eagle, a recovery advocate, author, and breathwork facilitator, shares his profound journey from a traumatic childhood to over 25 years of sobriety and spiritual awakening. Born in Palo Alto and raised across California and Texas amidst the chaos of alcoholic parents, Ocean survived a violent upbringing marked by his father's abuse and the loss of his brother to a tragic car accident at 22. After totaling four cars and earning three DUIs by age 25, Ocean hit rock bottom, triggered by a confrontation with his father's disapproval during a quadruple bypass recovery. This pivotal moment led him to Alcoholics Anonymous in Burbank, where a heartfelt embrace from a stranger sparked his commitment to sobriety at 30. Now 56, Ocean has transformed his pain into purpose, having facilitated 16 women's and veterans' retreats, authored seven books, including The Gift of Desperation, and developed a powerful breathwork practice to help others heal trauma. He candidly discusses overcoming three sober divorces, raising four children, and embracing his spiritual calling as “Ocean Eagle,” a name gifted during a transformative retreat. Ocean's message, “Judging mistakes hides life's beauty,” resonates as he guides others to balance masculine and feminine energies and release past wounds.#thehopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover  #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #RecoveryIsPossible #Hope #wedorecover Join our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Follow the Hopeaholics on our Socials:https://www.instagram.com/thehopeaholics https://linktr.ee/thehopeaholicsBuy Merch: https://thehopeaholics.myshopify.comVisit our Treatment Centers: https://www.hopebythesea.comIf you or a loved one needs help, please call or text 949-615-8588.

In this special Pride Week episode, I sit down with broadcaster Rich Clarke for a deeply personal conversation about identity, authenticity, and the toll of hiding in plain sight. Rich shares his journey of navigating a high-profile media career while carrying a secret identity, and how years of masking his true sexuality led to burnout, breakdown, and ultimately, a turning point.We explore what it really means to come out — not just to the world, but to ourselves — and how the weight of shame, fear, and societal expectation can shape (and limit) our lives. From therapy and sobriety to standing on stage at Brighton Pride and finally saying, “I'm gay,” Rich reflects on what healing has looked like for him, and why connection, honesty, and self-compassion are essential to moving forward.Find Rich Clarke:Instagram: @therichclarkeListen to This Was Always Me Podcast: https://www.globalplayer.com/podcasts/42L3VY/Stay Connected with Hurt to Healing:Instagram: instagram.com/hurttohealingpodTikTok: tiktok.com/@hurttohealingpodLinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/hurt-to-healingSubstack: substack.com/@hurttohealingWebsite: hurttohealing.co.ukIf you're struggling, consider therapy with our paid partner.

Life Lessons from Hitting Rock Bottom | Summer of Psalms This message from Psalm 51 takes us through David's rock bottom moment and shows how God responds to confession, honesty, and a heart ready for change. We explore five lessons from David's life that point us toward hope, healing, and renewed purpose.If you've ever wondered whether God still wants to use you after failure, the answer is yes. Key Insights: 1. Healing always starts with God's mercy, not our effort. 2. True restoration begins with owning our sin instead of hiding or justifying it. 3. Sin is first and foremost against God—even before it affects others. 4. Forgiveness is real, but some consequences of sin still shape our journey. 5. God doesn't just restore us—He still chooses to use us after failure.

Dr. Sina McCullough possessed every credential that should have saved her—PhD in nutrition, functional medicine training, master herbalist certification. Instead, she was dying. Too weak to hold a cup. Watching her children from the floor because she couldn't stand. When twenty specialists across two decades dismissed her suffering as "all in your head," this elite-trained scientist made a desperate plea that shattered everything. What happened next defies every principle of conventional healing.Today, Dr. McCullough is a disease reversal expert, author of Hands Off My Food and Beyond Labels, co-host of the Beyond Labels Podcast, creator of the Go Wild healing program, and health columnist for the Epoch Times. But her most earth-shattering discovery came in her darkest hour—when death seemed certain and medicine had abandoned her.Website: https://www.drsinamccullough.com/Epoch Times Column: https://www.theepochtimes.com/expert/sina-mcculloughBeyond Labels Podcast: https://beyondlabels.supportingcast.fm/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@beyondlabelspodFollow on X: http://www.x.com/beyondlabelspodFollow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beyondlabelspodcast/Chapters00:00 The Mainstream Narrative on Health and Healing02:50 Dr. Sina McCullough's Health Journey05:54 The Search for Answers in Western Medicine09:11 Hitting Rock Bottom and Finding Hope12:04 The Role of Functional Medicine in Healing14:53 The Emotional Component of Disease17:46 Reintegration of Foods and Seasonal Eating20:51 Shortcomings of Functional Medicine24:13The Importance of Emotional Intelligence26:54 The Biofield and Its Role in Healing30:03 The Power of Forgiveness in Healing40:37 Healing Through Emotional Release42:17 Synchronicities and Divine Guidance44:44 The Roadmap to Healing46:43 The Role of Science in Healing48:05 The Power of Light and Energy51:41 Forgiveness as a Path to Freedom56:20 The Science of Light in Healing01:10:37 Coherent Light and Nutrition01:17:47 The Power of Consciousness and Healing01:21:14 Mind Over Matter: The Role of Intention01:24:58 Cultivating Gratitude and Openness01:30:22 Connecting with Divine Messages01:36:31 The Impact of Emotional Healing01:40:47 Releasing Labels and Embracing Balance Dr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here

Welcome back to the Stand Up Dude Podcast! In this gripping episode, your hosts Tim Bisagno and Stewart White have a raw, real, and hope-filled conversation with Michael Molthan—formerly one of the nation's top luxury home builders, now a passionate recovery advocate, faith-filled motivator, and host of the M2 The Rock show. Men, if you've ever hit rock bottom, battled addiction, struggled with hidden pain, or felt like you're trying to climb out of a pit you can't escape—this is YOUR episode. Michael gets honest about his journey from childhood trauma and high-flying career success, to 27 arrests, homelessness, and ultimately, a prison cell where his life was radically changed by the grace of Jesus Christ. If you're a man who's tired of quick fixes, religious clichés, or just going through the motions, we invite you to hear how redefining “rock bottom” led Michael—and can lead you—to the true foundation: relationship with Christ and becoming the man you're made to be.About M2 THE ROCK - MICHAEL MOLTHAN:I'm Michael Molthan, host of The M2 The Rock Show—one of the fastest-growing podcasts and shows on self-improvement, mental health, addiction recovery, and spiritual transformation. I'm so grateful you're here.I started M2 The Rock in 2017 to bring you conversations designed to make you happier, healthier, and more healed. Through raw and unfiltered discussions with experts, celebrities, thought leaders, and athletes, we uncover new perspectives on personal growth, recovery, and overcoming life's toughest challenges.My Story:What sets my journey apart is that there wasn't just one rock bottom—there were many. From being a successful luxury homebuilder to falling into addiction, homelessness, crime, and eventually 27 mugshots and prison, my life was in absolute chaos.Addiction was my temporary escape from childhood trauma, but it only led to destruction.It wasn't until I hit the lowest point imaginable that I finally found true freedom, redemption, and purpose. After an unexpected early release from prison in 2017, I walked 300 miles back to Dallas to turn myself in—only to be miraculously pardoned and told to “pay it forward.”And that's exactly what I've been doing ever since.My MissionI believe that rock bottom is not the end—it's a stepping stone to something greater.My goal is to redefine what "rock bottom" means by helping others rebuild their Spirit, Mind, and Body. On M2 The Rock, I speak openly about trauma, addiction, recovery, and the power of transformation. I don't shy away from topics like:✅ Trauma & Addiction – Understanding the root causes✅ Self-Sabotage & Mental Health – Breaking negative cycles✅ Codependency & Enabling – How relationships impact recovery✅ 12-Step Programs & Spiritual Healing – Finding true freedom✅ Religious Trauma & Personal Growth – Healing from past wounds"Everyone Is An Addict."Whether it's substances, work, validation, or negative thinking, we all have something we struggle with.But recovery is possible, and transformation is real.
