It's Jamie's turn to share, as we continue our miniseries on sobriety and recovery! Jamie talks today about the "what happened" part of his journey — that critical turning point from pre-sobriety into sobriety.  Plus we dig into Shannon's Personal Song "A Letter," as part of our ongoing Personal Song Spotlight series. If you haven't seen our 2020101 Virtual Concert, you can replay it at https://youtu.be/sKqOGhi_ODI.

“How low can you go?”

Shannon continues this week with her "Benefits of Recovery, Part Two." She's so much healthier than she used to be! Also, we have a livestream concert event THIS SATURDAY! Get details and set yourself a reminder here: https://youtu.be/sKqOGhi_ODI

“No more plate-spinning.”

We continue our miniseries on recovery and sobriety this week with the first part of the second part of Shannon's story!

“The escape hatch.”

Last week you heard Act I of Shannon's recovery arc … and this week it's Jamie's turn on the hot seat. Fair warning: Jamie's pre-recovery time was completely out of control.

“Jamie’s recovery origin story.”

We talk a lot on here about our recovery ... but we realized that not necessarily everyone who listens to the podcast has heard the stories of how we each came to be in recovery! So we're going to spend some episodes talking about that. First up: Shannon.

“Shannon’s recovery origin story.”

Jamie did some pretty intense personal inventory and journaling work a couple weeks ago, as a means of addressing some stuff he was working through. We thought we'd spend this episode talking about that, in hopes that it might be of some help to someone. If you need someone to talk with about sobriety-related issues, you can message Jamie — jamie at misfitstars dot com.

“I’ve been driving around in a dirty car.”

There's been a lot going on in the country while we were taking our personal time ... so we thought we should talk about it! We're calling this a 'newsapalooza.'" TRY AND STOP US.

“Two’s a ‘palooza.'”

We're on a little break this week! We should be back next week. In the meantime, if you aren't fully caught up on our ongoing and evolving series on the harmful and toxic effects of America's culture of individualism, start with the June 9 episode and listen forward from there.

“Literally phoning it in.”

We're still talking about individualism; this week through the lens of a couple of related pieces we noticed in the wild.

“I’m not an individual; I’m an American.”
