In today’s episode, I’m getting real about transitions—the ones we see coming, and the ones that sneak up on us. With the conclave starting today, I couldn’t help but think about what it means to be in that sacred in-between space.

Whether it’s becoming a parent, watching your kids grow up, or suddenly finding yourself an empty nester—change is never easy. And let’s be honest, the middle? It’s messy. It’s uncertain. It’s quiet. And it can feel incredibly lonely.

But it’s also where healing begins.
It’s where we rediscover who we are.
It’s where God shows up in the stillness.

If you’re navigating a transition right now, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about identity, self-care, faith, and why you are never alone in your journey.

✨ Takeaways:

  • The conclave is a powerful reminder of spiritual and personal transition.

  • The “in-between” isn’t bad—it’s where growth happens.

  • Parenting changes, everything changes, but so does letting go.

  • Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s survival.

  • Your identity doesn’t end when your kids move out.

  • Silence is where you hear God and find yourself again.

  • Trusting God in the unknown brings peace.

  • You don’t have to have all the answers—just take the next right step.

  • Healing happens in stillness.

  • You’re never alone—there’s grace in the middle.

Life is short—so enjoy the ride, one day at a time.

In this heartfelt and honest conversation, I sit down with my husband (yes—I’m his third!) to talk all about marriage, faith, and what it really takes to grow together. We get real about the ups and downs, how our spiritual journey has deepened our bond, and why it's so hard—but so necessary—for men to open up emotionally.

We also talk about the importance of forgiveness, not just towards others, but towards ourselves. And we don’t shy away from the hard stuff—like how community and faith play a huge role in healing and transformation, especially for men who often feel like they have to keep it all inside.

If you’ve ever felt like starting over is impossible, or wondered if real connection is still possible in today’s world—this one’s for you.

In this episode of Conversations with Bizzy, I dive into the beauty of endings and the magic of fresh starts. I open up about my journey of sobriety, the power of making clear-minded decisions, and how faith and trust have helped me navigate life’s twists and turns. From parenting and relationships to letting go of what no longer serves us, this is a heart-centered conversation about growth, grace, and learning to live fully in the now.

Takeaways:

  • Endings are often the beginning of something better.

  • Healing happens when we unpack our emotional baggage with patience.

  • The present moment is where peace lives.

  • We are not defined by what we own.

  • Growth comes from both our wins and our stumbles.

  • Taking care of yourself isn’t selfish—it’s essential.

  • Trusting in something bigger helps us find our way.

  • Parenting means learning to let go with love.

  • Change is uncomfortable—but necessary for becoming who we’re meant to be.

  • Life is short—so enjoy the ride, one day at a time.

As you all know, I’m always posting content — and lately, I've been sharing more about my journey back to Catholicism. Well, that journey brought a beautiful new friend into my life: Grace.

She called me out of the blue, and of course, I called her right back! I truly believe God placed her in my life. She is loving, kind, supportive, and a real blessing.

When the Pope passed away, I knew in my heart that I wanted to have a priest on my podcast. I reached out to several priests with no luck. So, I called Grace and asked, "Do you know any priests who might come on my podcast?" She said, "I'll reach out to Father Jeff Pomeisl — but no promises!"

Well, Grace made the call... and Father Jeff reached out to me! 🙏 I’m beyond excited to share our conversation with you today.

God is so good — always working behind the scenes!
Today we dive into:
• The challenges of navigating relationships while answering God's call
• The importance of confession, the rosary, and acts of kindness
• The current state of the Catholic Church and Pope Francis’s controversial views
• Compassionate approaches to issues like abortion, same-sex marriage, and immigration
• Spiritual clarity in confusing times and the hope found through prayer, community, and faith

We also talk about big questions like:
• How does the conclave work after a pope passes?
• Why prayer matters so much in marriage
• How purgatory and healing families are central to Catholic spirituality

This conversation is full of faith, hope, and heart — and I hope it fills you up as much as it did for me. 💛

This is a throwback episode with Father Dan Reehil, recorded back in November 2024—just after the election and before I rebranded Busy Living Sober to Conversations with Bizzy. The timing may have changed, but the message is timeless.

We talked about staying grounded in faith when the world feels upside down, and how to discern what’s real, what matters, and how God calls us to live with purpose.

Takeaways:
– How faith anchors us in uncertain times
– The power of spiritual discernment
– Why putting God first brings peace
– Navigating noise and fear with truth and love

This one’s real, honest, and full of light. I hope it blesses you today.

Hey friends! In today’s episode of Conversations with Bizzy, I’m sharing straight from the heart. It’s Holy Wednesday, and I’m reflecting on my journey through Lent, the lessons I’ve learned about forgiveness (especially self-forgiveness!), and how my relationship with God continues to grow.

I open up about some of my habits—yes, even shopping during Lent—and how they’ve become little signposts on this path of self-discovery. We dive into why communication and connection matter so much, especially in today’s world. And I talk about the joy of being back to coaching—what a gift it is to walk alongside others as they find their own freedom and happiness.

If you’ve ever struggled with letting go, or just need a little encouragement today, this episode is for you. We’re all on a journey, and it’s never too late to start fresh.

💛 Takeaways:

  • Sometimes our everyday habits are the best teachers.

  • Forgiveness—especially of ourselves—is the key to peace.

  • Faith and real relationships are what carry us through.

  • Coaching is about connection, support, and transformation.

  • You don’t have to walk through life alone. Help is always out there.

In today’s episode of Conversations with Bizzy, I sit down with Mary D’Angelo, a cybersecurity expert with an incredible story. Mary opens up about growing up in a big Italian family and how her roots, life experiences, and faith journey all played a part in leading her to the world of cybersecurity.

We dive into everything from staying strong in your faith in today’s chaotic world, to how AI is influencing beliefs and mindsets without us even realizing it. Mary shares real-world advice on cybersecurity — including how social engineering attacks target human emotions, why VPNs are important (but not a cure-all), and how even the best parental controls can be outsmarted by tech-savvy kids.

She also shares her personal journey back to Catholicism after a difficult breakup, showing how life’s challenges can sometimes bring us back to our spiritual center. We talk about the complexities of Catholic teachings, the comfort spirituality can bring during tough times, and how relationships often shift as we deepen our faith.

Throughout the conversation, Mary reminds us that personal responsibility — whether in faith, relationships, or protecting ourselves online — is more important now than ever.
From understanding the risks of the dark web, to seeing how cultural identity shapes who we become, this episode is full of lessons for navigating today’s digital — and spiritual — landscape with strength and awareness.
