Episode 633 From Regret to Resilience: Elizabeth “Bizzy” Chance’s Journey of Self Forgiveness

Send us Fan MailEpisode 633 comes to you from my window overlooking the Douro River in Porto. After days of walking, writing, and facing some heavy chapters of my past, I finally understood what “not regretting the past nor wishing to shut the door on it” really means. In this episode, I talk about shame, forgiveness, sobriety, and why we must stop carrying stories that no longer serve us. If you’re ready to release old pain and step into something new, join me.⭐ WHAT I EXPLORE IN THIS EPISODEMy journey of self‑forgiveness and what it really means to stop carrying the pastHow shame, regret, and old stories kept me stuck in low‑frequency emotionsThe power of pivoting when life demands changeWhat nearly 20 years of sobriety has taught me about acceptance and letting goHow solo travel and writing my book in Porto helped me see my life differentlyThe importance of gratitude, presence, and taking emotional responsibilityWhy I can’t change others — only myself⭐ KEY TAKEAWAYSSelf‑forgiveness is where healing beginsYou can pivot at any moment — your life is not fixedShame is a heavy, low‑frequency emotion you don’t have to carryYou can feel an emotion without becoming itLiving in the present is a choice you can make again and againYour past is part of you, but it doesn’t have to define youYou are not alone — everyone has a story and everyone is learningSobriety is more than putting down the drink; it’s learning to live life on life’s termsYou can’t control how others see you, only how you growTaking chances is what creates your life — not the outcomes, but the courage to tryConnect 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]: [email protected] you for listening to It’s Bizzy.
