It's the dreaded 8th Step in 12-Step recovery - making amends to those we have harmed. Anna and Lisa talk about their first experiences with it, as well as what “living amends” look like. And when an amends turns into a bitch session for the other person, we take it in stride, and maybe even have a laugh years later. Plus: how do you make amends to a no-longer-living grandmother you tricked into shoplifting against her knowledge?

Ledell Johnson grew up in Buffalo, New York, raised by his grandparents in what he describes as a decent upbringing — but the pull of the streets started early. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Ledell shares how he got his first gun at just 13 years old, dropped out of high school, and became deeply involved in street life. At 19, everything nearly ended when he was shot and almost lost his life, a moment that could have changed everything — but instead, he went back to the same environment that put him there. Ledell opens up about the mindset that kept him in the streets, how quickly things can spiral, and the reality of growing up around violence in Buffalo. Eventually, a gun charge caught up with him, leading to a 4-year sentence in the New York State prison system. _____________________________________________ #BuffaloNY #TrueCrime #PrisonStory #StreetLife #GunViolence #ExInmate #CrimeStories #lockedinpodcast _____________________________________________ Thank you to RAYCON for sponsoring this episode: Celebrate the moms in your life!

Jonathan Parsons grew up in a good family but fell into addiction at a young age, a path that nearly cost him everything before he got sober at just 21 years old. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Jonathan shares how he stayed clean for seven years and built a life as a paramedic and firefighter, only for the trauma and stress of the job to pull him back into addiction. What followed was a rapid downward spiral — losing his career, his business, and his relationships, and ultimately landing in jail multiple times. Jonathan opens up about the mental toll of being a first responder, how relapse can happen even after years of sobriety, and what it took to hit rock bottom and start fighting his way back. _____________________________________________ #AddictionRecovery #Relapse #Paramedic #EMT #FirstResponder #MentalHealth #TrueStory #recoveryjourney _____________________________________________ Connect with Jonathon Parsons: Tiktok & Instagram: Jonnie_parsons_official Jonnie Parsons on Facebook _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Rock Bottom That Changed Everything 00:43 Early Life & Family Background 01:59 Growing Up Too Fast 03:05 First Exposure to Drugs & Sports Life 04:47 High School, Partying & Slipping Into Addiction 06:00 Dropping Out & Losing Control 08:35 First Arrest & Run-Ins With Police 10:27 The First Attempt at Getting Clean 11:57 Getting Sober & Starting Over 12:50 Becoming a Firefighter & Living a Double Life 14:38 Trauma on the Job & Relapsing 17:27 Losing Everything & Hitting Bottom Again 19:59 Helping People While Fighting Addiction 22:19 The Dark Reality of Being a Paramedic 25:22 Becoming a Father During Addiction 26:05 Losing the Business, Getting Locked Up 31:31 Inside Jail & The Wake-Up Call 35:35 Life After Jail & A Second Chance 40:00 Relationship Problems, Relapse & Final Turning Point 44:00 Marriage, Rebuilding & Turning Life Around 47:01 Staying Sober, Family Life & Giving Back 50:43 Sharing His Story & Finding Purpose 52:14 Triggers, Alcohol & Staying Clean 54:12 “Am I Still an Addict?” 55:35 Talking Openly About Addiction 57:12 Making Amends & Accepting the Past 58:33 Advice to His Younger Self 59:24 Final Thoughts Learn more about your ad choices.

Pam Hemphill has been fighting MAGA propaganda since the day she realized it nearly killed her. A retired substance abuse counselor cancer survivor and one of the most visible former participants of the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol Pam served a 60-day federal prison sentence for her role that day. Her decision to reject Donald Trump's presidential pardon and become a prominent activist exposing the cult dynamics of the MAGA movement makes her story truly remarkable. I was honored to have Pam join me again for a conversation about her ongoing activism. She is one of the few January 6th participants who not only accepted full responsibility for her actions but rejected Trump's presidential pardon after his inauguration. Since her release she has received recognition from Mike Pence testified before Congress and become a courageous voice pushing back against the propaganda that fueled the attack on American democracy. More and more true believers are leaving MAGA and I wanted to highlight her activism. She continues to go to protests against ICE. It was an interesting interview because we got into techniques and strategies for communicating with those still in the thrall of the Cult of Trump. Learn more about your ad choices.

Leo Leonardo is a Rhode Island native who got caught up in the system at a young age, facing repeated arrests that pushed him out of school and into the workforce—before turning to selling drugs when legitimate options fell apart. His path led to a federal drug case, time in both state and federal prison, and some of the harshest consequences behind the walls, including segregation (SEG) and maximum-security prison after continued trouble inside. After his release, Leo struggled to stay straight and was hit with additional gun charges, showing how hard it is to break cycles once the system has its grip. In this raw true-crime interview, Leo breaks down how the feds built their case, what life is really like in max prison and SEG, and the long-term consequences of early choices—an unfiltered look at crime, punishment, and life after prison. _____________________________________________ #PrisonStory #DrugRing #TrueCrimePodcast #FederalPrison #LifeAfterPrison #CrimeStory #ExCon #redemptionstory _____________________________________________ Prizepicks: Visit https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/IANBICK and use code IANBICK and get $50 in lineups when you play your first $5 lineup!

Send us a textToday's topic is The Reckoning: Making Amends Begins with Awareness with guest co-host Becky F. 

Is anger, regret or sadness still tying you to your past? In this episode, you'll learn how finding forgiveness helps you heal unhealthy emotions, create closure, and move on. You'll learn about the two types of forgiveness and how to shift your mindset so you can finally feel happier, freer, and more like yourself again. If happiness and well-being feel out of reach right now, I hope you dive into this one. Forgiveness often sounds simple, but it can feel deeply challenging when anger, regret, or unresolved pain linger. I'm revisiting this episode because these unhealthy feelings tend to hold on quietly, shaping how we feel long after the moment has passed. In this conversation, I talk about what forgiveness really is and what it is not, and how finding forgiveness can support healing and closure without excusing harm or abandoning your boundaries. We explore the difference between forgiving yourself and forgiving someone else, especially when there has been no apology, no repair, or no justice. You'll hear how to work with difficult emotions like sadness and resentment, how to move on when the other person may never change, and how forgiveness can support your growth, well-being, and peace of mind. If part of you feels like you should be over it by now, but something still feels unfinished, this episode offers a more compassionate way forward. Forgiveness is not about forgetting or minimizing what happened. It's about releasing what no longer serves you so you can heal and feel happier in your life today. Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Finding Forgiveness and Emotional Healing 03:25 The Two Types of Forgiveness: Yourself and Others 05:52 How Anger, Regret, and Guilt Impact Happiness 07:56 Self-Forgiveness Through Compassion and Growth 15:00 Making Amends and Repairing Harm 21:59 How to Forgive Someone Who Isn't Sorry 24:19 Letting Go Without Excusing Harm 28:56 Forgiveness, Boundaries, and Emotional Safety 31:19 Choosing Forgiveness to Move On and Feel at Peace If this conversation about finding forgiveness stirred something tender for you, I want you to know you don't have to work through it alone. I'd love for you to schedule a free consultation with me or someone on my team at Growing Self. It's a private, secure space to share what you've been carrying and get matched with the right counselor or coach for where you are right now. You'll answer three quick questions, and we'll help you take a thoughtful next step toward healing and clarity. xoxo, Dr. Lisa Marie BobbyGrowing Self

Send us a textFear of rejection can run your day without saying a word. I've felt it in rehab bunkhouses, in church pews that taught guilt over growth, and across kitchen tables where a homeowner just wanted their AC to work and their evening back. That same fear fuels the masks we wear, the discounts we offer too soon, and the way we beat ourselves up on the drive home. So I pulled the thread from the beginning: where does imposter syndrome start, how does it hijack sales, and what daily choices make that voice lose its power?We start with the messy parts: performing to be safe, confusing approval with belonging, and how organized religion shaped and then shattered some of my early beliefs. From there, the focus turns practical. I walk through how to read body language, ask sharper questions, and slow down enough to uncover the real blocker behind a hesitant buyer. We get honest about tonality and ego—why being the expert doesn't give you license to steamroll, and how letting someone finish can save a deal. You'll hear why “I don't know; I'll get back to you” is a trust builder, not a weakness, especially when talking with engineers or highly technical clients.Then we tackle value, pricing, and boundaries. Not everyone is your customer, and chasing chronic discounters will hollow out your calendar and your confidence. I unpack the true cost of a “free” van roll, how to teach value without apology, and why clean presentation—uniform, breath, clarity—sells before words do. Finally, we zoom in on the inner work: cutting self‑talk that spirals, making quick amends, and stacking esteemable actions that make you the same person when eyes are on you and when they're not. Simple routines like breathing, prayer or meditation, the gym, and a few intentional calls become the spine that steadies your day.If this hits home, press play, take what serves you, and try one habit for a week.

One of the most challenging parts of the recovery journey is found in Principle 6 and Step 8. This is where we pause to honestly survey the damage caused by our past hurts, habits, and hang-ups—acknowledging how our actions have affected both ourselves and others. It's a step that can feel difficult, but it's also one of the most life-changing as we begin to move toward making amends and finding true freedom.In today's episode, Rodney Holmstrom, Global Field Director of Celebrate Recovery, is joined by his dear friend and brother in Christ, Mac Owen, Global Director of Celebrate Recovery. Together, they unpack the value and purpose of making amends and how this powerful step brings healing and restoration to our journey.

When the phone stops ringing and your texts go unanswered, the quiet can feel unbearable. In “Surviving the Silence,” Dr. Janet Steinkamp walks you through how to use this season with purpose so you don't ruminate and drive yourself to distraction through catastrophizing. You'll learn eight practical strategies: anchoring in reality (from a 360° view), managing the spiral of rumination, practicing radical acceptance, rebuilding an identity beyond parenting, regulating emotions when you're triggered, choosing a safe support network, reframing your narrative, and using silence as a mirror for growth.You'll hear why respecting your adult child's boundary can build trust, how to stop re-traumatizing yourself by 'looping' through your story, and ways to find peace even if reconciliation isn't here yet. If you're ready to move from panic to purpose—and wait with your child rather than merely waiting for them—this episode gives you calm, concrete strategies to maintain your mental balance and find purpose.Previous and Related Episodes“Catastrophizing” (managing rumination, fear and worry)“Flying Monkeys & Well-Intended People” (why third-party ‘help' backfires)“Coercive Control” series (3 episodes focused on a cult of one)“Grief” series (7 episodes on the estrangement grief process)“Explaining vs. Apologizing vs. Making Amends” (owning your part)“Let It vs. Let Them Go” (healthy release vs. resentment)#FamilyEstrangement #EstrangementExpert #ParentReconnection #EstrangedAdultChild #ParentChildReunification #ReconnectionStrategist #ParentalAlienation #FamilyCommunication #Boundaries #EmotionalRegulation #RadicalAcceptance #Rumination #NoContact #RepairingRelationships #FaithAndHealing #MothersOfEstrangedDaughters #ParentsOfEstrangedAdults #EstrangementSupport #ReframingYourNarrative #SelfCompassion #AccoutabililtyHi Listeners.

Send us a textWhat if the confidence you've been chasing is really a mask that's wearing you down? I open up about imposter syndrome, fear of rejection, and the years I used alcohol and drugs to feel like I belonged. The stories aren't pretty—Vegas couches, dangerous company, and the slow erosion of self-worth—but they're true, and they explain why shortcuts to confidence always collapse.Sobriety didn't magically erase my doubts; it gave me clear ground to do the work. I talk through the humbling season of losing jobs, driving Uber to keep moving, and learning to accept where I am instead of clinging to a fantasy of where I should be. We get into practical tools: using transcendental meditation to sit still and face hard truths, putting action behind prayer, and choosing surrender over force so progress doesn't rely on white-knuckling everything alone. I share how making amends—especially around a stalled AI venture—helped loosen the grip of imposter thoughts and made selling from service feel possible again.You'll also hear why real community matters. Recovery gave me people who show up, no questions asked, and that kind of support flips the script on isolation. Along the way, a carful of executives reminded me that even polished professionals wrestle with the same fears. If you're leaning on alcohol or weed to outrun rejection, consider this a clear warning: the bill comes due, and it's brutal. There's a better path built on honesty, small daily actions, and faith that meets you halfway.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a quick review.

Inside the Mind of a Compulsive Gambler with Louis Ruggiero | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this gripping episode of The Hopeaholics Podcast, Louis Ruggiero lays everything on the table as he shares his unbelievable journey through addiction, gambling, destruction, and redemption. From the moment he first sat at a blackjack table at just 15 years old and turned $200 into $9,000, Louis became hooked on the rush—a rush that would ultimately cost him over $10.2 million, countless relationships, and nearly his life. He opens up about his battles with opioids, alcohol, and gambling, his public downfall after a headline-making arrest in New York City, and the years of chaos that followed as he spiraled deeper into addiction while trying to hold onto a facade of success. Louis paints a vivid picture of the highs of Vegas suites, private jets, and massive wins, followed by the devastating lows of broken promises, debt, and suicidal thoughts. Yet through all the pain, he found redemption in recovery—turning to Gamblers Anonymous, Alcoholics Anonymous, and the 12-step program to rebuild not only his sobriety but his sense of purpose. Now, nearly a year sober from gambling and years clean from drugs and alcohol, Louis is using his platform and his podcast Nothing's Off the Table to shine a light on the realities of addiction and the hope found in recovery. His story is brutally honest, deeply human, and serves as a reminder that no matter how far you fall, it's never too late to change, heal, and rise again.#thehopeaholics  #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin 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 Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

Send us a textWhat if your job title isn't who you are, and the real proof of character shows up in the choices you make when no one is watching? We dig into that question through the lens of recovery, responsibility, and the everyday habits that either build integrity or break it down. From asking for help to making amends, we unpack how sober clarity turns micro resentments into momentum and why quiet, ten-minute pauses can reveal more about your life than an hour of doom scrolling.I share the uncomfortable truths I had to face: fear of rejection, low self-worth, and the cost of not asking for what I need at work and at home. We talk through a simple silence practice to cut through noise, the opportunity cost of social media, and the subtle ways outrage hijacks attention. Then we connect those lessons to sales, where pressure and shortcuts often masquerade as skill. You'll hear a practical script for presenting honest options without manipulation, how to ask better questions when a customer says no, and why feedback—however painful—becomes your fastest lever for growth.This conversation is a call to choose the long game: integrity over shortcuts, responsibility over blame, and curiosity over fear. If you've ever felt weighed down by tiny resentments, stuck in distraction loops, or tempted to sell something you wouldn't sell to your own mom, this is your reset. Listen, reflect, then pick one honest action today—one amends, one ask, one small promise kept in the dark. If this resonated, subscribe, leave a quick review, and share it with someone who needs a nudge toward better choices. Your future self will thank you.

Winner of the National Jewish Book Awards in Contemporary Jewish Life & Practice and Myra H. Kraft Memorial AwardOn Repentance and Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World (Beacon Press, 2022) is a crucial new lens on repentance, atonement, forgiveness, and repair from harm—from personal transgressions to our culture's most painful and unresolved issues.American culture focuses on letting go of grudges and redemption narratives instead of the perpetrator's obligations or recompense for harmed parties. As survivor communities have pointed out, these emphases have too often only caused more harm. But Danya Ruttenberg knew there was a better model, rooted in the work of the medieval philosopher Maimonides.For Maimonides, upon whose work Ruttenberg elaborates, forgiveness is much less important than the repair work to which the person who caused harm is obligated. The word traditionally translated as repentance really means something more like return, and in this book, returning is a restoration, as much as is possible, to the victim, and, for the perpetrator of harm, a coming back, in humility and intentionality, to behaving as the person we might like to believe we are.Maimonides laid out five steps: naming and owning harm; starting to change/transformation; restitution and accepting consequences; apology; and making different choices. Applying this lens to both our personal relationships and some of the most significant and painful issues of our day, On Repentance and Repair helps us envision a way forward.Rooted in traditional Jewish concepts while doggedly accessible and available to people from any, or no, religious background, On Repentance and Repair is a book for anyone who cares about creating a country and culture that is more whole than the one in which we live, and for anyone who has been hurt or who is struggling to take responsibility for their mistakes.

Davon Eldemire grew up in the hood in Bridgeport, Connecticut with no father in the picture, raised by his mom and sisters as the only boy in the house. He had a passion for basketball but eventually got consumed by the street life, giving up his dream. That path led to a robbery where he shot someone and was sentenced to 14 years in prison. In this interview, Davon opens up about what it was like growing up without a father, how the streets pulled him in, and the moment that changed everything and landed him in prison. He shares what the years behind bars taught him about life, the mindset shift that turned his sentence into an opportunity, and how he is now using his experience to mentor the youth and keep them from going down the same path. #RaisedInTheHood #PrisonStories #LockedInPodcast #StreetLife #TrueCrimePodcast #PrisonLife #RedemptionStory #lifeafterprison Thank you to BLUECHEW & PRIZEPICKS for sponsoring this episode: BlueChew: Visit https://bluechew.com/ and use promo code LOCKEDIN at checkout to get your first month of BlueChew FREE & pay five bucks for shipping.

Louis Ruggiero grew up in New York City with privilege and connections — his mother, Rosanna Scotto, is a famous Fox News anchor, and his father is an attorney. But behind the perfect image, Louis was spiraling into addiction. College introduced him to Xanax, which quickly led to harder drugs, arrests, and trouble that was often swept away by his family's influence. His life took a shocking turn when a close friend confessed a murder to him, forcing Louis to testify in a high-profile trial. In this interview, Louis reveals his struggles with drugs, what it was like to be caught up in a murder case, and how he's working to turn his life around. #LouisRuggiero #RosannaScotto #AddictionRecovery #MurderTrial #DrugAddiction #NYCStories #TrueCrimePodcast #lockedinpodcast Connect with Louis Ruggiero: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@NothingsOffTheTable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nothingsoffpod/?hl=en TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nothingsoffpod Website: https://linktr.ee/nothingsoffthetable Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ 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 A Dark Confession and Introduction 00:52 Meet Lewis: Background and Podcast 02:26 Twelve Years of Chaos 03:03 Growing Up Privileged in New York 04:42 Life with a Famous Mother 06:26 Spotlight Pressure and Acting Out 08:18 Rebellion and Early Signs 10:24 Parents' Presence and Family Dynamics 11:37 The Straight-Laced Sister 12:29 Making Amends and Lifelong Change 13:10 Hazy Future Plans and Pressure 14:31 High School Troubles and Africa Experience 16:03 Xanax: The Real Start of Addiction 17:56 Family History and the Addictive Personality 18:33 Barstar: College, Drugs, and Escalation 19:23 Interventions and Denial 20:54 Deceit, Probation, and Court-Ordered Programs 23:18 A Violent Encounter and New Addictions 24:22 Losing Friends and Facing the Law 26:06 White Privilege and Justice 27:41 Revolving Door of Addiction and Jail 28:58 Relapse and Deeper Descent 30:32 Confession of a Murder 35:01 After the Confession: Investigation and Fallout 39:05 Rock Bottom and Family Intervention 41:03 Rehab, FBI Subpoena, and Trial 44:52 Testifying in a Murder Case 47:56 Staying Sober Through Chaos 48:55 Falling Back and the Battle for Sobriety 49:54 Daily Recovery Work and Lasting Change 51:01 Living Amends and Generational Healing 54:05 Enabling, Gambling, and Hard Lessons 57:04 Gambling: Vegas, Apps, and Addiction 01:00:32 Reflection: Parental Trust and Actions 01:03:32 Integrity, Character, and Redemption 01:05:00 Advice to My Younger Self 01:05:16 Wrapping Up and Looking Ahead 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.

Jessi Harris spent three decades living as a “trans man” before ultimately detransitioning. Her story is a powerful exploration of survival, discrimination, and the complex landscape of gender identity in late 20th-century America.What happens when the path you choose to escape discrimination becomes its own form of constraint? How do you make amends after years of unintentionally hurting those closest to you? Jessi's narrative takes us through her experiences as a lesbian in the 1970s and 80s, when being gay meant facing persistent harassment, job discrimination, and even the threat of losing custody of her child.Driven by a desire for safety and acceptance, Jessi “transitioned” in 1987, hoping to escape the intense discrimination she faced as a lesbian. Her journey reveals a stark reality: transitioning was never about truly wanting to be a man, but about survival. She navigated a world that was hostile to lesbian mothers, facing sexual assault, job loss, and repeated attempts to separate her from her daughter.For 30 years, Jessi lived as a “trans man,” experiencing significant medical consequences including heart attacks linked to testosterone use and vaginal atrophy that ultimately required a hysterectomy. Throughout this time, she never truly believed she was a man – she was simply trying to protect herself and her family.The most profound part of her story emerges in her detransition and the challenging process of making amends, particularly with her daughter. After years of separation, an honest apology became the bridge to rebuilding their relationship. Jessi's reflections offer a nuanced perspective on transition, highlighting the role of discrimination, survival instincts, and the importance of genuine accountability.Key questions we explore:How did systemic discrimination push lesbians towards transition?What are the long-term medical consequences of hormone therapy?How can families heal after years of complex gender-related trauma?What does true accountability look like in the aftermath of major life choices?Jessi's memoir is forthcoming, promising an even deeper dive into her extraordinary journey of survival, self-discovery, and reconciliation.Bringing a personal perspective to the conversation, Jessi Harris is a 69-year-old lesbian woman from the Pacific Northwest, who lived in transition for three decades before detransitioning in 2017 and retiring from her career in the medical field in 2021. Drawing on a complex life experience, she is now passionately committed to sharing her journey, offering perspective and support for women and girls contemplating or navigating the complexities of gender transition and detransition.

In the third installment of our series Living at Odds, How To!'s Courtney Martin examines what it's like being in conflict with your family history. She talks with ancestors of the famous names in Plessy v. Ferguson, the Supreme Court decision that affirmed racial segregation in the U.S. as "separate but equal." Later, researcher Kellie Farrish explains how reparative genealogy can unlock family history that's been lost or erased—and bring together descendants of enslaved people and their enslavers into conversations about the past, present, and future.

Today's episode is unlike any I've ever shared. It's a conversation with my late father, Alan Storey—recorded in 2018, but never meant for the public. After his passing in January 2025, I felt called to revisit this powerful archive of family history, healing, and redemption. While it wasn't originally intended for listeners, I've come to realize that this story holds universal themes worthy of sharing.This is more than a podcast—it's an offering from one generation to the next. We dive into stories from his childhood in a rough Colorado oil town, his battles with addiction, his unlikely healing journey, and the wisdom he earned along the way. This is a raw, emotional, and sometimes wild conversation—one that I hope brings comfort, healing, and inspiration to anyone navigating loss or seeking to better understand where they come from.This episode is ad-free and deeply personal.

When Tori moves out, one of her spectral “friends” shows up uninvited, scratching at doors and hurling incense down the stairs in a show of supernatural displeasure. From using salt at the threshold to offering apologies and Tori's forwarding address, nothing about dealing with this unsettled entity is straightforward. Tune in to hear how a quick flip from “get out” to “you're welcome here” ultimately changes the energy in the room—and raises plenty of goosebumps along the way.
