In Episode 109 of Culture of Change, the panel engages in an open and honest conversation about the transformative journey through rock bottom moments. They reflect on the pain, confusion, and surrender that often precede breakthrough, and how hitting the lowest point can become the very foundation for rebuilding a stronger, more grounded identity. Themes of faith, healing, addiction, trauma, and emotional recovery thread through the discussion, as the hosts explore the importance of truth, vulnerability, and fellowship in the process of restoration. The group challenges cultural narratives that distort self-worth and shares encouragement for those navigating their own battles with fear, shame, or self-doubt. This episode offers a raw and relatable reminder that growth often starts in the ashes, and that the path to renewal is always open to those willing to walk it with intention and faith.
Michelle Rix joins Nick Gaylord for a deeply personal conversation about grief, love, and the long road back from devastating loss. In 2018, Michelle's daughter Paizlee was stillborn at 38 weeks — a tragedy that was followed by the death of her father, a man she adored. These back-to-back losses sent her into a spiral of grief, trauma, and addiction, leaving her to rebuild not only her emotional world but her entire sense of identity.With striking honesty, Michelle shares what it felt like to grieve a child she never got to raise, and the guilt that haunted her in the years after. She talks about the breakdown of her marriage, her complicated relationship with religion, and the terrifying moment she realized she could no longer live in survival mode. Through therapy, writing, and the unwavering support of her family, Michelle found a way to begin again — slowly, painfully, but with purpose.This episode is about grief that doesn't let up — and the courage it takes to keep going anyway. Michelle's story will resonate with anyone who has faced unbearable loss, and it's a testament to what becomes possible when we allow ourselves to feel, to fall apart, and ultimately, to heal.GIVE THE SHOW A 5-STAR RATING ON APPLE PODCASTS!

In Week 3 of The Unloved, Pastor Matt takes us into the belly of the fish—Jonah's lowest moment—to reveal a surprising truth: there is good news at the bottom.

Through raw prayer, deep repentance, and surprising mercy, Jonah discovers what we all long to know: we are never beyond the reach of God's love.

06/18 Hour 3: Callers React To The Nationals Losing Streak - 1:00 Have The Nationals Reached Rock Bottom - 17:00 EB's Commercial Break Film Study (Wizards Edition) - 30:00
From 06/18 Hour 3: The Sports Junkies debate if the Washington Nationals have reached rock bottom.
06/18 Full Show: Hour 1 - 1:00 Hour 2 - 45:00 Hour 3 - 1:27:00 Hour 4 - 2:08:00 The Sports Junkies break down the Washington Nationals terrible losing streak. The guys also discuss the top storylines around the sports world. Today's guest was Mike Rizzo.
After betrayal, it's easy to believe that your best days are behind you. That the pain you're in now will always be part of you. But what if this isn't the end of your story? What if it's the beginning of something deeper, truer, and more aligned with who you really are? In this uplifting episode, I share the often untold truth about healing from infidelity: that it doesn't just break you, it can build you. From rock bottom, we talk about what it means to rise strong. You'll hear how emotional resilience, self-trust, and clarity can grow not in spite of the betrayal, but because of how you move through it. Whether you're still in the thick of it or slowly finding your footing, this episode is your reminder: you are not broken. You're becoming. Key Takeaways Rock bottom is a foundation. It's not the end of your story, but the start of intentional rebuilding. Post-traumatic growth is real. Betrayal can lead to deeper resilience, clarity, and self-trust. You don't have to choose the betrayal to reclaim the power of choice. Your response is where your strength lives. Healing isn't about perfection; it's about becoming more fully you. You're allowed to want more than survival. Joy, connection, and meaning are still available to you. Reflect on this: What's one positive shift, however small, you've noticed in yourself since the betrayal? Let that be your thread of hope. I'd love to hear your story. Come share your reflections with me on Instagram or in the Facebook group. You're not alone on this path. If this episode resonated, take a moment to rate, review, or share it with someone who might need a reminder that healing is possible.

What happens when you've burned every bridge, lost your family, and can barely look at yourself in the mirror… but you still wake up knowing there has to be more? In this honest and powerful episode of Warriors Unmasked, Chuck Thuss sits down with Ian—author of Wild Ride to Sobriety and founder of Make It Great—to explore what it truly takes to go from self-destruction to self-respect. Ian opens up about his early start with alcohol, the choices that cost him everything, and the moment he decided he was done being the villain in his own life story. With unflinching vulnerability, Ian shares what sobriety has really been like—how he learned to feel again, to parent with purpose, and to rebuild not just his relationships but his entire identity. He talks about the power of small steps, daily disciplines, and the one decision that changed everything: to own his story instead of run from it. Whether you're struggling with addiction, recovery, or the nagging fear that it's “too late,” Ian's story is a beacon of hope. This episode reminds us all: rock bottom isn't the end. Sometimes, it's the beginning of your greatest chapter yet. Key Takeaways: Sobriety isn't just about quitting alcohol—it's about finally facing your emotions and owning your worth. Change begins the moment you take radical responsibility for your life. Healing is possible even if you've made major mistakes; you are not beyond redemption. Small daily habits and consistency are the foundation for long-term transformation. Vulnerability is a strength that opens doors to deeper relationships and real growth. Your past doesn't define your future—you can rewrite your story starting today.

We have a live sporting event! The US Open is underway and the players are making Oakmont look relatively easy on Day 1. What will the USGA have to say about that on Day 2? Do we like the test of the US Open? Would we want to see this degree of difficulty for all the majors? :30- Mariners Morning After- the Mariners were swept by the Diamondbacks to end their road trip and we wonder (and hope) if this is rock bottom. Bryan Woo went 5 great innings, but like has been the story lately, one blow up inning spoiled the whole thing and it was non other than Geno Suarez who played hero for the Diamondbacks. :45- Yesterday we talked to Jacson Bevens during our Seahawks One Series and he gave us his thoughts on Julian Love and his leadership.

From Rock Bottom to Redemption Today on the Beliefcast, I had the honor of sitting down with Daniel Tapusoa—a man whose story will shake your soul and ignite your hope. After decades lost in addiction, Daniel hit his breaking point in March 2023 and walked through the doors of Wasatch Recovery. He's never looked back. Now, two years sober, Daniel works at the very place that helped save his life. His transformation is a living testament that healing is possible—even when all hope feels lost. Daniel said something that stopped me in my tracks: “I'm grateful for my addiction.” Not many can say that. But Daniel has walked through the fire and come out with purpose, peace, and a heart ready to lift others. Tune in to hear how relapse shaped him, how pain became his teacher, and how giving back is now his mission.

Psychiatrist, internist, and addiction medicine specialist Muhamad Aly Rifai discusses his article, "When rock bottom is a turning point: Why the turmoil at HHS may be a blessing in disguise." Muhamad offers a counterintuitive perspective on the recent wave of layoffs and leadership changes sweeping through federal health agencies like the NIH, CDC, and FDA. He argues that this "rock bottom" moment, rather than signaling collapse, presents a critical opportunity for a fundamental overhaul of a system that has lost public trust. He points to events like the perceived disengagement of many HHS employees during the COVID-19 pandemic's peak in 2021 and the 2021-2022 baby formula crisis as catalysts for this erosion of faith. Muhamad contends that the U.S.'s status as the "sickest wealthy nation," plagued by high maternal mortality, rampant chronic diseases, an addiction crisis, and falling life expectancy, demonstrates the failure of the old guard and conventional approaches. He suggests that the criticism of newly appointed "unconventional" leaders overlooks the desperate need for new thinking. The article calls for these institutions to become truly human-serving, prioritizing patient-centered care, transparency, and direct community engagement over bureaucratic inertia and data-driven detachment, ultimately aiming to rebuild a health system that genuinely protects and serves the American public.
