Things are changing….

Do you ever feel like you have been at something for so long and it isn’t getting the results you had envisioned? What do you do? Give up? Pivot? Or walk away frustrated? 

I have been having these feelings for a while….

For those of you that know me personally know that I am very extroverted and outgoing. When I meet a stranger they feel like we are friends right away. From a brief conversation the person will ask, “What do you do?” My answer is always, “I host a podcast.” Then they respond, “What is the name of your podcast? What do you talk about?” My response is “Sobriety and it’s called Busy Living Sober”.... They then think about it and respond, “That is nice, but I don’t have a drinking problem.” Hence I would walk away scratching my head… my podcast isn’t all about sobriety, but the name! UGH…

When I started Busy Living Sober my main objective was to change the stigma associated with addiction. I can say with certainty that is happening! More and more podcasts are coming out discussing sobriety. Either people are getting sober because they have a real problem or they are “sober curious” and they have come to the conclusion that alcohol is not great for them. In general my main objective is coming into fruition and for that I am grateful and feel like today it is time to change! 

In the past I have made little changes but nothing stuck! I did as they say half ass! 

I have some fear! I will lose some of my devoted followers if I change. It has been 8 years recording under the same name and changing it could cause confusion and backlash. But not doing anything is not an option anymore! 

I have come to the fork in the road where I am either going to continue or change. Go straight or get off of the path that I am on and try something new. The road I choose may be a little rocky and bumpy at first but it is time to change things up!

You may be thinking, “What is she doing?” 

I am still going to be sharing people’s stories under my new name. I am just going to be able to share more peoples stories, not just recovering alcoholics and drug addicts. 

My new mission is  “Real talks about life, love and finding the light within”

What do you think my new title of the show is going to be??? 

Reach out and let me know what your thoughts are and stay tuned this week for new reveals. I promise you are going to love the new changes. 

BTW if you feel like you need a change in your life please reach out with what you are going through…you may be my next guest.

Thanks for always being there and supporting me. 

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I know that all of you are going to be mentioned when I share what I am grateful for this past year. 

Gobble, gobble, gobble. 

Love you all.
