Podcasts about light hustler

This is an exciting time for the podcast for several reasons, at least one of which is that WE HAVE A NEW NAME! Yes, this has happened before. Oh yes, AfterPartyPod, Recover Girl, Light Hustler, Struggle to Success and some names I'm forgetting were used at some point. But this is the one we're sticking with and I'm not just saying that!   So why this change? Well, in this episode, I explain that since the show was becoming increasingly about how to build your brand with a book, it seemed only right to have a podcast name that reflected it. And now we've got it!   I couldn't have asked for a better guest for this pivot, since she's not only a brand builder extraordinaire but also a friend whose book I feel privileged to be able to publish.   Katie DePaula is an author, speaker, entrepreneur and the founder of Inner Glow Circle, a company dedicated to helping women entrepreneurs find their glow and live purpose-driven lives.   But most relevantly for our show, she is the author of At Least You Look Good: How to Glow Through What You Go Through, the latest release from Launch Pad Publishing. The book is part memoir, part self-help and all love; it's Katie's story about surviving Lyme disease and her brother's death by overdose while building her multi-million dollar business.    Just because I have a guest this week doesn't mean those Q&A or break-the-expert's-strategy-down episodes are no longer. I'll continue alternating different ways of showing you guys how to build your brand with a book, both on my own and with special guests.   All of which is to say: if you want me to answer your writing question on this show, DM me on Instagram at @annabdavid!   WANT TO BUILD YOUR OWN BRAND WITH A BOOK?

Name change time! Yes, the podcast formerly known as AfterPartyPod, Recover Girl and Light Hustler is now transitioning into Struggle to Success, where I'm going to be interviewing some of the world's highest achieving people about how they've been able to make their greatest struggles into their greatest success. While I'll still be talking to some people about their issues with addiction and journey into recovery, I'll also be chatting with folks about other struggles and journeys.   I'm so excited about this transition and thrilled about some of the people I've lined up as guests. Look out for the first Struggle to Success episode next week and please know how grateful I am to you for sticking with the show through its many incarnations.

Bucky Sinister s a stand-up comedian and author of nine books, including Black Hole: A Novel and Get Up: A 12-Step Guide to Recovery for Misfits, Freaks and Weirdos.   He's told many stories at numerous shows—including one where he brought a now-deceased friend (in an urn) up on stage with him—but it's safe to say this is the most graphic tale he's told at a Light Hustler show.   Just how does a story about dating a mysterious woman with a mohawk get graphic? Let's just say it has to do with a tattoo of hers he discovered in an intimate moment.   Want to know what in God's name that means? You're going to have to listen.

Anna David isn't just the person writing these words. She's also the NY Times bestselling author of seven books, TV talking head, journalist and blah blah.   In this episode (taken from the Light Hustler live storytelling show), she/I tells/tell a story about an early sobriety "date" with a movie star, who taught her/me that the glamorous life may not be all it's cracked up to be.

(Hint: it's Lohan) She also talks candidly about her own journey to sobriety, hitting rock bottom, what makes coke addicts different from other types of addicts and what surprised her about sobriety. Other topics include: her 19 year-old miracle cat, the nightmare of collaborating with Tom Sizemore, how as a freelance writer she managed the demise of magazines, her coaching program and new company Light Hustler, spirituality, her best shoplifting move, horrible bosses and the trauma from seeing Jaws at 5. https://annadavid.com/ https://lighthustler.com

Kane Holloway is a Seattle native who resides in sunny L.A. Kane is a nationally touring comedian, podcast host and he has performed on "Laughs on Fox." In this story, told at the live monthly Light Hustler storytelling show, he talks about a number of experiences—being bald at the wrong time, physical pain and what happens when the person rooting for you seems to be giving up on you. The overall theme: even the unlucky can find recovery. And, if that supposedly unlucky person is named Kane Holloway, he can make it into comedy gold.

This week we deep dive into darkness and light with New York Times Best-Selling author and Light Hustler, Anna David (Party Girl, True Tales of Lust and Love) as we talk addiction, recovery and turning trauma into triumph. Plus, we catch the Holy Spirit with Bishop Michael Curry & The Kingdom Choir and ponder this dark time in American history as another school shooting has rocked the nation yet again.

OC43 Neil 2.0 Alcoholism, Drug Addiction, Recovery, Sobriety, Spirituality Welcome to the ODAAT Chat podcast, my name is Arlina and I’ll be your host. Before I jump into the episode overview, there are some kick ass recovery resources I wanted to share with you. On the podcast website, you will find a list of books that I reference in this and previous episodes. You can find it at odaatchat.com and odaat is spelled o d a a t. If you like the audible versions of these books, you can get your first book free when you sign up for an Audible subscription through the link on the homepage. So that’s it for the books, but...there is also a list of recovery podcasts similar to this one that you will love. My personal feeling is that we are stronger together so I’m happy to share some of the best recovery podcasts like The Bubble Hour hosted by my friend Jean McCarthy, The Shair Podcast hosted by the dynamic Omar Pinto, and Light Hustler by the superfabulous Anna David. Lastly, check out “Sober Nation” which has tons of articles, a network of recovery podcasts that I will hopefully be a part of and an online community. Links will be listed in the episode show notes as well as the website. So these are some the resources I use in my daily life that help me, and I hope they help you too. Today’s episode is actually part 2 with my super smart and interesting friend Neil. I had too much to talk to him about to fit it all on one episode, so he came back! As it turns out, the conversation kinds turns into a bit of a therapy session for me, but it presented an opportunity for Neil to share some meaningful insights. So your welcome lol. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, so without further delay, please enjoy this encore episode, with Neil. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/bubblehour http://theshairpodcast.com/ http://lighthustler.com/ https://sobernation.com/ “The alternative 12 steps, a secular guide to recovery”

Today's episode features an absolute doll of a human being: Greg Behrendt. In it, Greg tells a story from the Light Hustler live storytelling show which takes place the last Friday of every other month in LA. His story veers from a night where he was wasted and cold and ended up with a burrito stuck to his hands but also touches on driving a car into the ocean and why we should bring our solutions and not our problems home. When he's not making Light Hustler audiences nearly pee their pants with laughter, Greg is performing (both as a comedian and musician) or writing (oh yeah; he's the guy who co-wrote the seminal book He's Just Not That Into You, among other bestselling books). To see the calendar for future storytelling events, click here. To catch the live broadcasts of the shows, go ahead and give a like on Facebook, since we play every show on there.

I've long admired Laura McKowen. The sober mama is a prolific writer (you can see her many posts over at LauraMcKowen.com), podcaster (for years she co-hosted HOME, now she's co-hosting Spiritualish) and all-around honest person living in recovery. What do I mean by honest? Well, follow her on Instagram and you'll see more than just Ghandi quotes and hot photos. The woman spills it out there—and people love her for it. While we met at the Unite to Face Addiction rally in the fall of 2015, this is the first time we were able to chat one-on-one. And what a chat it was! Tune in to hear us get into losing our virginity, the stories we tell ourselves and developing healthy relationships with other women, among many other topics. NOTE: This episode is from a Facebook Live interview that we did, which means that the audio isn't as sharp as it is on regular episodes. Please bear with that! And please tune into my regular Facebook Live interviews. Make sure you Like my page so stay up on the info! It's better with the lights on. So go out there and hustle your light, Light Hustler...

The things that we've ashamed of or have strong feelings about, whether it's addiction or something that may have happened to us, aren't dark in and of themselves. As Shakespeare once said... "Nothing is good or bad but thinking makes it so." Anna David is the New York Times-bestselling author of two novels and four non-fiction books about addiction, recovery and relationships. She's been published in The New York Times, Time, The LA Times, Vanity Fair, Playboy, Vice and Women's Health, among many others, written about in numerous publications including Forbes, Martha Stewart Living, Entrepreneur, Allure and Women's Health and has appeared repeatedly on The Today Show, Hannity, Attack of the Show, Dr. Drew, Red Eye, The Talk and numerous other programs on Fox News, NBC, CBS, MTV, VH1 and E. She created and hosts the Recover Girl podcast and the recovery storytelling show Hammer(ed) Time and speaks at colleges across the country about relationships, addiction and recovery. Through her company, Light Hustler, she helps creatives share their dark to find their light—through coaching, writing, workshops and more. Today we're going to dive into what Light Hustler is all about and find out if you are ready to share your story. In this episode you'll learn How you can begin to find your light by sharing more of the darkness Learning to get comfortable with your emotions and stop running from feelings How modern society is removing the stigma and shame around addiction Why sharing the darkest parts of your journey can help liberate yourself and others The different ways that sub-conscious fears can play out in your life How to know if you may be ready to share your story of hardship Learning to appreciate how your mindset impacts your physical health

It's one thing to be open about your addiction when you're a writer in LA—aka a person most people assume WOULD be an addict. It's quite another when you're a high-powered attorney. But Lisa F. Smith is a trail blazer. The author of the hit book Girl Walks Out of a Bar is also probably my favorite person I've never met. (Side note: I've slept in her bed despite not having met her; it's not as sexy as it sounds but that's something we get into in the interview.) What's fascinating about Lisa's story is that she was so high functioning that the day she got sober was just like any other day where she was headed to work—although instead of going to work, she went to detox. In this episode, we discuss her fear around coming out, the way addiction can start with food and how she feels when men in AA are called sexual harassers, among many other topics. (BTW, Lisa is featured in my Guide to Becoming a Light Hustler, where I profiled the people I know who have taken their darkest experiences to share their light and in some cases built careers off of it. If you want to be one of them, be sure to get the free guide here: www.annadavidcoaching.com.) NOTE: This episode is from a Facebook Live interview that we did, which means that the audio isn't as sharp as it is on regular episodes. Please bear with that! And please tune into my regular Facebook Live interviews, which take place at 4 pm PST on Tuesdays (unless I have a conflict, in which case I reschedule but announce the change on my page.
