Podcasts about Showing Up

In this episode, we break down why waiting to feel "ready" is costing you momentum. Let's explore reframing readiness as a decision, embracing imperfect action, and showing up consistently can unlock confidence, visibility and compounded impact. If you've been stuck in planning, overthinking, or perfectionism, this episode is your nudge to start now—right where you are.

Hey Winner, Being consistent without seeing results can quietly wear you down—especially when you're doing your best to stay committed, follow through, and honor the season of life you're in. In this episode, we're talking about what to do when consistency doesn't seem to be paying off. I'm walking you through why effort alone isn't always the answer, the most common places results break down, and how to reset your approach so your consistency actually starts to matter—without pushing harder or burning out. If you've been starting strong and losing steam, or wondering whether you're missing something, this conversation will help you pause, get clarity, and decide your next step with intention.

If there is one thing that burns photographers out faster than almost anything else, it's marketing. What is supposed to feel like connection often feels more like an endless cycle of posting, scrolling, and second guessing… all while the rules keep changing.In this episode, I'm kicking off our Systems Theme by talking about how to build a marketing system that actually feels like connection (and supports your business instead of draining it). We look at why chasing trends and algorithms isn't the answer, and how focusing on trust, local connection, and clear priorities leads to more sustainable growth.You'll hear more about why your marketing goals are much more achievable than you've been led to believe how real life connection can do more heavy lifting than constant online visibility what a "good enough" marketing system actually looks like when you stop trying to do everythingWhen you're done listening, log into the Darkroom to get this week's To Dos and resources, so you can turn these ideas into action!LINKS:Get weekly action prompts + resources from each episode inside The Darkroom; your free podcast companion space. Resources: New to the podcast?

Send us a textIf you feel stuck in your job search even though you are doing all the right things with your resume and LinkedIn, you are not alone. I see this pattern every day with mid-career professionals who are smart, capable, and experienced but still not getting traction in today's market.In this episode, I flip the script on how most people think about career growth and job search at mid-career. Job titles are not destinations. They are outcomes. When you build real career clarity, your value travels with you from one organization to the next, regardless of the title on the door.I walk you through a practical framework I use with my private clients to move them from scattered job searching to selective, strategic career positioning. We talk about how to define the problems you are best positioned to solve, the conditions where you do your best work, how to SHOW UP from service rather than proving, and how to clearly articulate who you help and what you help them do.You will also hear how this kind of clarity changes everything about interviews and recruiter conversations. When you stop trying to prove yourself and start SHOWing UP to contribute, your confidence increases, your message becomes sharper, and decision makers can see exactly where you fit.We also talk about the role of AI in today's job search. AI can help you optimize keywords, but it cannot replace clarity. Clarity is what carries the interview, builds trust, and helps you stand out in a crowded and noisy market.In this conversation, you will learn how to make recruiters' jobs easier by responding quickly, giving clear yes or no answers, and asking what they need next. These small shifts dramatically increase your credibility and momentum.At mid-career, the most powerful question is no longer “Am I enough?” It is “Where am I most useful?” When you answer that, your job search becomes focused, your energy increases, and your value compounds.If you are ready to reduce noise, save time, and target roles where your impact actually matters, this episode will give you the tools and language to do it.If you want help pinpointing where your value belongs next, visit johnneral.com/resources and get the Mid-Career Clarity Code for $43.

In this episode, host Risto Marttinen (George Mason University) is joined by Dr. Ben Williams (University of Melbourne) and Dr. Trent D. Brown (Deakin University) for a wide-ranging conversation about associational life in health and physical education.The discussion centers on Ben and Trent's recently published article in Sport, Education and Society, where they use a collaborative autobiographical narrative inquiry to explore how academic careers become knotted with professional associations, service expectations, institutional reward systems, and broader changes in higher education.Together, we unpack:What professional associations used to mean—and how that has changedThe shifting ethic of service in health and physical educationDeclining membership, rising costs, and questions of valueThe tension between associations as communities and associations as organizationsHow service work is (and is not) recognized by universitiesIssues of privilege, access, time, and representation in associational leadershipWhy many scholars stay involved—and why others quietly step awayThis episode will resonate with physical education teacher educators, sport pedagogy scholars, and higher education faculty who are navigating service expectations while trying to sustain meaningful professional engagement.Rather than offering simple solutions, the conversation invites listeners to reflect on a central question:What do we want professional associations in health and physical education to be—for us and for the next generation of scholars and teachers?Featured ArticleWilliams, B., & Brown, T.

Episode 184: Laurie Anderson The Power of Showing UpWhat if success as a caregiver wasn't about getting everything right, but about showing up again and again?In this heartfelt episode of The FASD Success Show, Jeff Noble sits down with long time community leader and coach Laurie Anderson to talk about what it really means to keep going through the hardest seasons of caregiving with compassion, connection, and calm.Laurie shares her journey from confusion to confidence, what she's learned from years of moderating our 5,000 member FASD community, and how she's redefining success after retirement and decades of advocacy.In This Episode You'll Hear • Why consistency and connection regulate the brain better than perfection • How Polyvagal Theory explains why community calms the nervous system • What success looks like when you measure by regulation, not results • Why rest and recovery are just as important as advocacy and action • How Laurie's story can help you see your own progress even on the hard daysThis conversation is part science, part story, and full of heart.

Stop Waiting for Breakthrough—Start Showing Up by Faith Promise Church

This sermon was preached by our High School Pastor Dan McPherson on Luke 2:25–38 and is part of our series House of Prayer.

#306 Guy and I sit down (while the kids are upstairs!) on his podcast "Let It In with Guy Lawrence" to reflect on our 2025—the messy, the profound, and everything in between. We talk about: How we navigate showing up for clients when we're facing our own challenges—Guy facilitating consciousness retreats during intense spiritual experiences, me supporting gut health clients while dealing with rosacea The reality of being practitioners who are also deeply human What it actually looks like to integrate spiritual experiences while parenting two young kids How we support each other through the unfolding (and when we can't fully relate) The balance between doing all the things and actually letting go What we're welcoming into 2026 A real conversation about the paradox of holding space for others while navigating our own transformations.

Welcome back to Pep Talk Friday. In this episode of Raising Confident Girls, Melissa Jones offers a grounding reminder for parents who worry they're not doing enough—especially when their daughters are struggling quietly. She explores how showing up with calm, steady presence can be more powerful than fixing, advising, or saying the “perfect” thing.Melissa speaks directly to the inner critic so many girls carry and reassures parents that this voice isn't a reflection of failure. Instead, it's an opportunity—one where patience, understanding, and simply being there can shape how a daughter learns to speak to herself.Tune in to discover:Why your daughter's inner critic doesn't mean you're falling shortHow your presence—more than your words—helps her feel safe and supportedThe role your calm plays in helping her regulate big emotionsWhy you don't need to be perfect to make a lasting, meaningful impactThis episode is a gentle exhale for parents who feel unseen in the day-to-day work of raising girls. Even on the quiet, invisible days, you are shaping her inner voice in ways that truly matter.If this message feels like something a parent in your life needs to hear, share this episode with them. Sometimes the most powerful support is simply reminding someone: you're already doing enough.Melissa's Links:• Website • Instagram • Facebook• TikTok• LinkedIn

This is your reminder that showing up is enough.This episode is for anyone who has been feeling behind, inconsistent, or unsure, yet still chooses to show up.Take this moment for yourself. No rushing. No fixing. Just presence. 

Today, this episode is a brief reflection from me, recorded as a pause in the regular rhythm of the show. Rather than a guest interview, I'm speaking directly to you, my listeners, about the weight of trauma-informed work, the importance of rest, and what it means to show up honestly when the work feels heavy. For survivors, professionals, and advocates alike, this episode is a reminder that healing is not linear, strength is not measured by endurance alone, and slowing down is sometimes the most responsible choice. Regular guest episodes of Sexual Assault Survivor Stories will resume next week.

Today we have Sarah. She is 49 years old and lives in San Diego, CA. Sarah took her last drink on August 6th, 2025.   This episode is brought to you by: Better Help – 10% off of your first month #sponsored   Pick up your copy of Paul's newest book Dolce Vita. You can get it on Amazon, listen to it on Audible or order it at your favorite bookstore today.   Join us on January 10th for the start of our AF Ukelele Course. This course is sponsored by Kala brand ukelele and if you register, you get a code for 10% off an instrument.   [02:00] Thoughts from Paul:   This is the first podcast of the new year and maybe you are a new listener. Paul wants to cover some basics and let you know what we are about.   Recovery Elevator is about quitting drinking. The goal isn't cutting back, moderation or putting the beast back in the cage. It's full send on zero alcohol consumed.   Recovery Elevator is also about embracing that there is no right or wrong way to ditch the booze, just don't do it alone. No explanation needed her, we get it. What you'll find here and in Café RE is there is no judgment. We all know where you are and have been there ourselves.   Recovery Elevator is the podcast, courses, Dry January, sober travel, merch, Instagram and more.   Café RE is the non-profit alcohol-free community – it's the social app for sober people. We've got 25+ chats each week, Accountability Partner pairings, in-house AA meetings, book club, movie club, etc.   [06:27] Paul introduces Sarah:   Sarah is a painter and lives in San Diego with her partner and two daughters, 17 and 19. For fun, she enjoys surfing with her partner, backpacking with her older daughter and loves living on the beach.   Sarah says she grew up in an idyllic childhood. Her parents drank but not to excess. She recalls that she was a worried child with a tendency towards overthinking and had a addictive personality to many things.   Drinking wasn't part of her story while in school. She was on the cross-country team from seventh grade until she was a sophomore in college. After an injury took her out of the sport, she began to participate in parties more. She quickly recognized that drinking took away some insecurities and inhibitions and enjoyed that aspect but realized she couldn't moderate.  Sarah developed a "take it or leave it" attitude towards alcohol but developed an eating disorder. Food became the replacement for alcohol when it came to self-medicating.   After a divorce, Sarah made a new friend that was going through the same things. She confided in him about her eating disorder and he helped her find treatment for it. While in the process of recovering from the ED, she started using alcohol again and would replace meals with beer. Sarah began asking God, "why are we having me have another problem?" She knew she was meant for better things but was having a hard time stopping the addictions.   Sarah used prayer to try and find the help she was after. She began going to AA, listening to podcasts and working herself to try and gain the tools to decide the addiction wasn't an option anymore. She was able to gain some traction but relapsed after several months of sobriety. In spite of being upset about being back at day one, Sarah learned to just keep showing up for herself and others and stopped beating herself up.   Sarah has removed food and alcohol as options for coping. When she needs to get away, she utilizes the beach and the ocean. She enjoys the studio space with her art to help her get out of her head.   Sarah O'Connor Art   Sarah's Instagram   Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down We gotta take the stairs back up We can do this.     Café RE RE on Instagram Sobriety Tracker iTunes  RE YouTube  

Josh Foster is an award-winning independent writer, thinker, and farmer in Rigby, Idaho. He is the author of The Last Good Snow Hunt (2024), The Clean Package: A Pioneer Assemblage (2023), and The Crown Package: A Personal Anthology (2022). Josh earned a PHD in literature and creative writing from the University of Houston, a master's of fine arts degree in fiction and nonfiction from the University of Arizona, and an undergraduate degree in English from BYU Idaho. In between his master's degree and PhD, Josh was selected as a Stegner Fellow at Stanford University, one of the most prestigious creative writing fellowships in the world. Josh also earned a minor in Spanish and studied at the University of Guadalajara. In his almost two-decade writing and publishing career, Josh has served in key editorial positions with notable magazines such as Terrain.org, DIAGRAM, and Gulf Coast. Josh now co-operates the creative cooperative and press FOSTER LITERARY with his wife, the poet Georgia Pearle Foster. In this follow up interview with Josh (see Episode 99 for our first interview) we discuss the following: We covered a lot of ground with Josh, which is always great because he's so full of insight. First the farm, as a metaphor for life. Raising a successful crop each year requires daily blood, sweat, and tears. But even when the uncontrollable weather actually cooperates, markets can suddenly change. It's a never ending struggle. But farmers just keep showing up every day. Water is the lifeblood of the farm, and it was fun to hear how Josh is engaging with community members and policy makers to figure out how to allocate water effectively, and potentially grow the supply. And I look forward to reading his upcoming book on water. I also look forward to reading Georgia and Josh's book, Other People's Parties. As Josh said, he often finds himself at the last moment of things and I'm inspired by how he wants to memorialize and preserve the stories that are fleeting. I'm especially excited to both watch the film Bozwreck and read Josh's novel on his cousin Nate Bozung. After the interview, Josh sent me a brief clip of the film, and I was blown away by the beauty and style of the film. I always love talking to Josh because he teaches me about life and humanity. But he also inspires me. Whenever we create things, we never know the impact they may have. But like the farmer, we just keep showing up every day. And even though the world is confusing, violent, and unfair, let's be good to each other, help each other, and be better.

Almost all the benefits of podcasting stem from one thing – and that's consistency. If you publish quality content over a prolonged period of time, you eventually hit a critical mass of episodes you can now call your “back catalogue” – and it's a powerful tool.On this episode of Podcraft, we're going to look at the benefits of this published body of work, which includes the ability for new listeners to binge your content, as well as providing you with a tonne of repurposing options, too.Following up on our previous episode, From Doubt to Determination, we'll also continue to explore the barriers and challenges our Indiepod Legends have faced, as well as how they've overcome them.

It's a new year. Same boardroom. Same seat. But are you the same leader?In this power-packed episode, Kristin Browning challenges the myth that transformation requires complete reinvention. The truth? The best leaders don't overhaul everything in January. They make strategic micro-shifts that create exponential impact.In under 10 minutes, you'll discover: Why consistency got you to the boardroom, but evolution keeps you relevant The three questions every established leader needs to answer in 2026 How to identify the ONE approach that will unlock disproportionate results The trap most leaders fall into (hint: it's treating learning like the finish line instead of the starting block)This isn't about New Year's resolutions or reinventing your values. This is about taking what you already know and leading differently because of it.Perfect for executives, senior leaders, and anyone who's ready to stop collecting leadership advice and start implementing it.

In this episode of Monday Morning Mojo, Phil shares a personal story that highlights a simple truth: being present matters. From a summer water-ski mishap to two phone calls during a time of loss, Phil reflects on how small acts of showing up, whether in person, by phone, or through a message, can make a lasting impact. As we move into 2026, this episode encourages us to be intentional about supporting others in both good times and difficult moments. Showing up is about connection, care, and making people feel valued.

Send us a textAPOLOGIES FOR THE BACKGROUND ROAD NOISE; RECORDED IN TRANSIT.The air feels charged, like a match on the verge of lighting.

I share a simple framework for mapping your year that prioritizes divine timing, meaningful milestones, and humane pacing. Then we get specific with a sign-by-sign guide: Aries owning confident self-sufficiency, Taurus stepping into leadership, Gemini reclaiming freedom, Cancer reviving creative flow, Leo quietly building wealth, Virgo embracing rebirth, Libra refining soul-centered partnership, Scorpio receiving emotional restoration, Sagittarius locking into clarity, Capricorn expanding abundance, Aquarius practicing real self-love, and Pisces settling into inner harmony.If you're craving structure that honors your intuition, I've got you.

A reflection on turning 60, returning to school, teaching, and recognizing the many quiet ways we show up for ourselves.

What does faith look like up close?In this episode, we continue Corner Church's Ethos series by exploring the idea of local — the people and places close enough to actually experience our lives. Drawing from James 2 and the life of Jesus, this conversation wrestles with the tension between belief and action, presence and distance, helping and truly knowing.We talk about why local love is harder than distant love, how modern life has created “micro-locals” everywhere, and why God chose proximity over distance in the incarnation. This isn't a conversation about doing more — it's about noticing who's already in front of us.Faith becomes real when it becomes local.

Happy New Year! Rejoice, because a real Jesus has plans to bless real people this year. Read His Word, listen to His voice, and you can prosper in all areas of your life. How do you know that Jesus always shows up for you? Because He went to the cross in your place. Be inspired along with Kellie Copeland on Believer's Voice of Victory by testimonies of God showing up in lives of real people. Kellie shares that, in the same way a mentor always shows up, Jesus is our perfect mentor because He will never leave nor forsake you. That's why we can be confident placing our lives in His hands. As Gloria Copeland said, “Lord, take my life and do something with it.” Let that be your prayer to start the new year.

In this special Celebrate Your Story, I revisit my early years working at St. John's Residence for Boys, a home for boys who couldn't safely live with their families. It was a place where structure created stability and relationships created possibility. At the time, I was a young counselor, learning the job alongside the boys themselves. My days were shaped by schedules, shared meals, hard conversations, and small moments of trust earned over time. St. John's showed me how much consistency matters, and how powerful it can be when a young person knows someone will show up for them, day after day. In this episode, I share stories from life inside St. John's, including the boys who taught me resilience, the mentors who modeled patience and leadership, and the experiences that revealed how belief and guidance can shape a young person's future. These relationships left a mark on me and influenced how I think about responsibility and leadership to this day. This episode reflects on service and the role we each play in creating environments where people can grow. It's a reminder that our stories are formed through relationships — through the people we support, the lessons we pass on, and the communities that help us become who we're meant to be.

In this mini episode, we talk about being seen, the fear of taking up space, and what it feels like to stop staying small just to feel safe. A gentle conversation about visibility, worthiness, and choosing yourself without apologizing.

In this discussion, Mike and Glenn explore the crucial question: "Now what?" as they look ahead to 2026. They delve into how living a life driven by passion and purpose is essential for true success.Key takeaways from the conversation include:The "Work" is the Key: The principle of "Drive," which mirrors the active approach of the AA program, suggests that to elevate your life, you must actively do the work.The Mantra of Success: Embrace the commitment: "If you want what we have and are willing to go to any length to get it," recognizing that success requires unwavering dedication.Action is Everything: The idea that "AA doesn't work" is true only if you don't work the program. Similarly, if you want a better life, you must live a better life.Showing Up is Non-Negotiable: Glenn and Mike agree that simply showing up is a foundational part of "going to any length."Direction through Awareness: Self-awareness is key to understanding your proper direction and requires being open to new experiences.Inspired by The Purpose Driven Life: Drawing inspiration from Rick Warren's book, they advocate for incorporating spirituality and serving others into your plan.Mike and Glenn emphasize that the time for passive wishing is over—it's time to take action to achieve the life you want.

What's up, witches and bitches

In manufacturing, it often feels like there's nothing more importance than performance. If they want to move up in their career, leaders are told to hit their targets, keep the line running, and solve problems as quickly as possible. But in reality, performance alone rarely drives real career growth. If you want to actually grow in your manufacturing career, it's time to put more emphasis on visibility, curiosity, and building stronger relationships. Learn more in this episode with guest Susan M. Barber, a former Fortune 500 leader with over 25 years of experience at Kraft Heinz. She's also the author of The Visibility Factor: Break Through Your Fears, Stand in Your Own Power, and Become the Authentic Leader You Were Meant To Be, which helps leaders build authentic visibility, overcome imposter syndrome, and close the gap between performance and recognition. In this episode, she gives a behind-the-scenes look at some of the key lessons from The Visibility Factor, plus shares stories and insights manufacturing leaders can use to grow their careers. 1:40 – Performance matters in manufacturing, but career growth depends on more than just shop floor results  5:15 – Voice matters in leadership meetings 7:10 – Thoughtful questions are a powerful way for manufacturing leaders to build credibility and influence 10:45 – Louder voices often gain exposure over quiet high performers 12:55 - Leaders must go beyond their job descriptions to demonstrate readiness for the next level in manufacturing 15:05 - Trust, relationships, and visibility all play a role in how promotion decisions are made 16:55 - Ask  for what you want and "do the job to get the job" before the title arrives 19:05  - The 10–30–60 framework highlights how performance, image, and exposure drive career success 22:45 – Psychological safety, authenticity, and confidence are key factors in leadership visibility 25:40 – By reflecting on past visibility successes and missed opportunities, leaders can understand what holds them back Connect with Susan M.

Technology has always been a double-edged sword. As the workplace and culture shift, we as humans are seeing more collaboration, access, and the ability to communicate across borders. But, it's also leading us to more stress, anxiety, depression, and social isolation. Those dopamine hits are no joke!This all impacts how we need leaders to show up and lead. We have to upskill our leaders for more connection, conversation, and collaboration. AI will be taking over a lot of the drudgery, so leadership now looks different from what it did 20 or 30 years ago. And for some leaders, there is a big skill gap between intent and impact. Something my guest today calls the Awkward Zone as she helps leaders to Own the Awkward.Today, Jen Marr shares the three forces behind our fundamental workplace shifts and how this has changed the role of leaders. She talks about that Awkward Zone and how to navigate through it. She shares the Barbell concept, necessary to build up healthy, productive employees. We have an interesting discussion about time - how leaders track it, spend it, and can find more ways to spend it on their people rather than on useless tasks. And Jen shares what may finally shake us up from the unhealthy ways tech has taken over our lives at the cost of real connection, and what that flashpoint might be for us.

 You're showing up on social media. You're posting consistently. But premium clients aren't finding you. Here's the truth: it's not about SHOWING UP—it's about how you're showing up. In this episode, I'm revealing why your camera presence (or lack of it) is costing you high-ticket clients, the difference between "creating content" and "commanding authority on camera," and the strategic shift that transforms you from "another account" to "THE expert I need to hire." You'll learn why hiding behind graphics and carousels keeps you at the $297 level (not the $20K level), what premium clients are actually assessing when they watch your videos, and the camera presence framework that positions you for premium authority. This isn't about being more confident or more polished—it's about being more strategic with how you show up on video. Because the way you show up on camera directly impacts how much people are willing to invest in you.If you enjoyed today's episode be sure to let us know on Instagram or over on our YouTube Channel - all under the name Keenya Kelly Subscribe to The If You Create It Podcast!Watch episodes on YouTube!!Get 150 Viral Hook Ideas for FREEhttps://www.keenyakelly.com/150hooksCheck out Visibility Launchpad!!  Go to https://visibilitylaunchpad.com

Last weekend was filled with terrible news, including a mass shooting in Australia, another at Brown University, and the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife. Mike Erre joins Phil and Skye to discuss these events and why rediscovering the biblical practice of lament is better than just "thoughts and prayers." The Catholic Church has taken a nuanced and principled position on the deportation of immigrants. Why do evangelicals find that so difficult? Then John Ortberg talks with Skye about his latest book, which applies the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous to Christian spiritual formation. It's called "Steps: A guide to transforming your life when willpower isn't enough." Also this week, the U.K. is building a giant Möbius strip for God.

In Episode 302 of the Antler Up Podcast, I sit down with Troy Smith — a husband, father, teacher, and coach who understands what real leadership looks like both in and out of the woods. Troy and I go back to our days coaching varsity baseball against each other, and this conversation goes well beyond hunting. We dive into leadership through coaching and teaching, the responsibility of setting standards for young athletes, and how those same principles carry over into family life and the outdoors. We also talk about raising kids in the outdoors, the discipline that comes from fitness and consistency, and what it means to define success in this season of life. Troy shares how hunting has helped shape his approach as a father and mentor, and why bringing his family into the woods has become such an important part of who he is. This episode is honest, grounded, and full of takeaways for anyone trying to balance family, work, and personal growth while still chasing what matters.

Today we have Nathan. He is 45 years old from Harrisburg, VA and took his last drink on January 24th, 2023.   This episode is brought to you by:   Better Help – 10% off of your first month #sponsored Café RE – the social app for sober people   Get your 2026 started off poison free and join us for our Dry January course Restore at 8pm eastern time on January 1st. This is the first of 13 sessions throughout the month, and this course is all about accountability and having fun.   January 1st, 2026 is the official release date for Paul's new book Dolce Vita both in print and audiobook. He would love to have you on the launch team. Email info@recoveryelevator.com to join.   [01:59] Thoughts from Paul:   When asked what recovery has made possible, today's guest Nathan responded with the one word "everything" almost before Paul could finish the question.   The sobriety space, especially the 12-step world, is full of cheesy recovery slogan, but Paul shares one that he laughed at when he first heard it. The saying is, you're giving up one thing for everything. And that one thing is alcohol.   If you ride a drinking problem long enough, it will take everything from your life. But when you quit, nearly everything that was taken will be returned. Not all in one day of course, but a life without alcohol will give you everything. More money, more sunsets, more time with aging parents, more memories, a better outlook on life and more growth.   [05:56] Paul introduces Nathan:   Nathan lives in Harrisonburg, VA where he works in the philanthropy space in higher education.  He and his wife have two children, 11 and 14 years old. For fun, he enjoys spending time with his family and out in nature.   In high school, Nathan was very active in a variety of high school activities. Having a reputation to maintain, Nathan kept his drinking private. Nathan went on to college and says it was the typical experience with the exception of losing a friend to a drunk driving incident in which he feels partially responsible for.   While he used alcohol to cope with the pain of the loss, he also used the loss to propel him into trying to make changes in programs at school and how he approached is own drinking. Nathan still did much of his drinking in private because he knew he couldn't drink how he wanted to in public.   Over the years, Nathan didn't think he had a problem, but he was hiding the quantity he drank from everyone. Once COVID came, the isolation, the unknowns, and the loss of multiple family members found Nathan's consumption changing a bit. He began to realize the behavior wasn't normal but believed it was a moral failing, or lack of discipline rather than the alcohol being the source of the problem.   At 41, Nathan began to use health related goals as motivation to moderate. He didn't drink daily, but when he drank it was with the intention to get drunk. After finding himself in handcuffs with his car in the ditch, he wanted nothing more than to just "fix it". It was at this time when his wife approached him and said it was time for him to go to AA.   Nathan didn't identify as an alcoholic and was initially resistant, but a voice in his head said he had no excuse not to go. Getting some great advice at the first meeting that really resonated with him, Nathan left with the Big Book and went on to attend 90 meetings in 90 days.   The first three months were all about survival for Nathan. After his legal troubles ended he had a shift from "I have to do this" to "I want to do this". Recognizing that he could use his recovery to help others, he and some friends are trying to reach the younger demographic in his area. Service has become very important, and Nathan is now a sponsor for others in the AA space.   Nathan's parting piece of guidance: You're never going to wake up in the morning and regret not drinking the night before.   Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down, you gotta take the stairs back up. We can do this. I love you guys.   RE on Instagram Sobriety Tracker iTunes  RE YouTube
