Podcast

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.

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.

Episode 537 Faith Is Stronger Than Fear: Carrie Sheffield’s Story of Courage and Grace

April 07, 2025/ Elizabeth Chance

In this unforgettable episode of Conversations with Bizzy, your host Elizabeth Chance sits down with the brilliant and brave Carrie Sheffield—award-winning journalist, policy expert, and author of the powerful memoir The Motorhome Prophecies. Carrie shares her jaw-dropping journey from a deeply traumatic and chaotic childhood to a life rooted in purpose, healing, and unshakable faith.

This conversation is about what happens when we stop running and start facing the truth—our past, our pain, our patterns. Carrie opens up about growing up in a motorhome under the rule of a religiously addicted father, navigating the darkness of generational trauma, and ultimately finding her way to healing through grace, forgiveness, and a strong relationship with God.

Together, Carrie and Bizzy go deep into topics like the danger of religious addiction, the courage it takes to walk away from toxic environments, and how comparison is a joy-killer. They talk about what it means to get off autopilot and do the hard (but holy!) work of changing from the inside out. This isn’t just a story of survival—it’s one of total transformation, spiritual awakening, and stepping into your God-given worth.

Carrie’s story is proof that we can stop the cycle, break the curse, and rise up. With humor, heart, and deep insight, this episode is a beautiful reminder that God is love, healing is possible, and we are never alone on the path to freedom.

🧠 Takeaways:

Trauma doesn’t define you—healing is possible.
Faith can carry you through the darkest valleys.
Forgiveness is freedom (even if it’s a solo act).
Comparison steals joy—don’t let it.
God is bigger than any addiction, any pattern, any past.
Generational curses can be broken with courage and awareness.
You deserve a life full of peace, purpose, and love.

In this week’s episode, I sit down with the incredibly inspiring Elizabeth Kipp, a woman whose story is nothing short of miraculous. Elizabeth opens up about her battle with chronic pain, her journey through addiction, and the long road to recovery that led her to a place of deep healing and peace.

We talk about what it’s like to feel dismissed by traditional medicine, how she found real relief through alternative healing practices, and why spirituality—and especially prayer—was a game-changer for her. Elizabeth shares how ancestral trauma and pain can follow us through generations, but also how we can break the cycle with awareness, intention, and support.

She gets real about the importance of self-talk, the power of community, and how she ultimately learned to trust her body’s ability to heal. And we dig into her powerful book, written from the heart for anyone who has ever felt trapped by chronic pain.

If you’ve ever struggled with physical pain, emotional wounds, or the feeling that doctors just don’t get it, this episode is for you. Elizabeth reminds us that healing is possible—and that we’re never alone on the journey.
