from It's Bizzy · host Elizabeth "Bizzy" Chance

Send us Fan MailWhat does friendship look like after two decades of sobriety?In Episode 612, I’m sitting down with my dear friend Becky Shipos, who brings an incredible 26 years of recovery to the conversation. Together, we’re peeling back the layers on what it actually takes to "clean house"—not just in our basements, but in our hearts and our relationships.We get raw about the Fourth Step, the secrets that used to keep us sick, and the messy, beautiful reality of family dynamics. If you’ve ever felt like a "multigrain" person trying to fit into a white-bread world, this episode is your permission slip to be exactly who you are.In this conversation, we dive into:·       The "Transient" Nature of Friends: Why some people are for a season, some are for a reason, and how to tell the difference.·       The Power of the Fourth Step: Why "confessing" our secrets is the only way to stop them from running our lives.·       Unconditional Support: How to ask for help without strings attached (and why people actually love to help you).·       The Freedom of 'Right Now': How we moved from the shame of the past to the absolute gift of being present today.Becky and I have seen it all, and if there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s that you don't have to do this alone. Whether you’re celebrating 26 years or 26 minutes, pull up a chair. We’ve got a seat saved for you.Thanks for listening and if you want to follow me or get in touch. Connect with me:🎙️ Patreon: patreon.com/elizabethchance 💙 Facebook: facebook.com/itsbizzypodcast 📸 Instagram: @itsbizzypodcast ▶️ YouTube: @elizabethchance 🎵 TikTok: @bizzychance 🐦 X: @itsbizzypodcast 📌 Pinterest: @BusyLivingSober 💼 LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/elizabethchance 💌 Updates: eepurl.com/iDtRnw 📬 Story ideas: [email protected] to my Newsletter: ElizabethChance.com"Remember, you don’t have to navigate the mess alone.
