There is an old saying that reminds me of Justin, "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." There is some debate as to who it is attributed to, and I'm not getting into that. What I do know is that Justin is a guy I can talk to, our two hours together flew by, and even though he is inquisitive, he is always so very humble about it. We both agree that many things are Just not to be ...

Meet Cat, the owner of 502 Power Yoga in Louisville Kentucky (and in Jeffersonville Indiana😉), she and I spent some time on the tail end of this Derby weekend to chat about her story of coming to find her true spirit through the practice of yoga, another way I've heard it said is "True Voice". Yoga, and specifically 502 Power Yoga, is where I picked up the phase "True North Alignment", it refers to the main positioning cues when calling poses, but for me it is also my internal compass, and what...

Frank is another man who has had a mighty big influence on my recovery, when we first met he was a couple years into a new start after having a long run of continuous sobriety. Like many, he has lots more years of recovery experience than the number on his current coin. Frank's spiritual growth over the past few years has been astonishing to say the least, he has certainly laid down his old ideas and really truly opened up to new ones. I'm taking notes from him as I build my list of things to "a...

I first heard of "Army Mark" during my early attempts at recovery in 2011, he was deployed and the group I was frequenting would give updates on how he was doing. That caught my attention, this group of folks were keeping a guy in the loop even though he was thousands of miles away. I bounced in and out over the next few years and started to see Mark in person, but I didn't really get to know him until 2015. Mark has had a huge impact on my recovery, I've listened to a man who is not afraid to b...

Completely love Lisa, she has fantastic energy, and I knew we were gonna get along real well when she instantly fell in love with my rabbit Paige :-) Starting right off with a beginning that rocked me back on my heels, she left me speechless for a bit - Yes, me, speechless! Lisa's is certainly a phoenix rising from the ashes story that will touch your heart. You will hear how a life of denial was smashed literally into her face, how she came to hear the message from an awesome group of women, an...

You are hearing his music around the podcast, and it took me a bit, but I finally managed to get Darren in the studio, and he brought his guitar to boot. Darren has had a huge influence on my personal Recovery, specifically, I credit him with teaching me to hug, and to truly listen. My body gets that all natural kundalini back tingle up through my neck every time I'm around him. Words fall short when I think of how much Darren means to me, so have a listen instead! Subscribe!

On a Tuesday "Juiceday" Morning, I decided to go solo for a bit, mix things up, create some variety. I've heard it said that there are two thing we hate more than any others, one is "Change", and the other is "The way things are", I like a routine in my life, but I also know that I really only grow when I'm outside of my comfort zone, going solo here is outside my comfort zone.

My dear friend Jesse brought his guitar, played some songs, and told his story to date. Jesse has held a special place in my heart from our first meeting some four years ago, and although his path is not necessarily one I would suggest, he is on fire today - as we say "it takes what it takes". Jesse has helped to produce the music you hear around the recent podcasts, he's a heck of a musician himself, a great singer, and you can hear him play during the intro of this episode, with a full song on...

Someone very special to me told her story today, full disclosure: Robin and I are a couple and I was somewhat apprehensive about hearing her story at first but at the same time super interested. I am honored that she allowed me this opportunity to participate in my recovery by sharing her story to the Spiritual Underground Podcast listeners. I simply can't imagine being more "equally yoked" than with someone who also practices Twelve Step Principles. We taped this at her home, it was another rem...
