OC33 -Daphne Willis - Somebody's Someone - Over 18 Million Views - From Abuse, Addiction, Recovery and Success Welcome to ODAAT Chat, where we talk about how to stay sober, one day at a time. My name is Arlina and I'll be your host. Before I launch into what this podcast is all about, I have to give a shout out to Ron, Lynn and Jacki for becoming OC members. Odaat chat funded by listeners like you, so if you would like to help keep it rolling, please consider a $5 monthly membership.

If you are new here, this is a podcast where my guests and I talk about how to recovery from alcoholism and addiction. We typically spend the first half of the podcast on what happened, and the second half on the solutions and lessons learned that contribute to long term recovery. Today I have a very special guest, Daphne Willis. Now, I know if you've heard other episodes, you're probably thinking, "she says that all the time" but in this case, it's especially true! Daphne Willis is a Sony recording artist located in Nashville. She has on her hands a SMASH hit with "Somebody's someone" which has well over 18 million views and counting… I actually cried the first time I heard this song. It's so touching and sung with such authenticity, that I instantly connected to it and I think you will too. Just a heads up, I babble quite a bit because I was so excited to speak with Daphne, but she shares so much about her struggles and how she has learned to set boundaries and practice self care that she has been able to maintain sobriety for 2 years now. I really enjoyed this conversation and I hope you do too! Let me know what you think on the ODAAT Chat facebook page! And with that, please enjoy this episode, with Dhaphne Willis.

OC031 Andrea Owen Today's episode is with Author, Speaker and Coach, Andrea Owen. Andrea is currently on the press circuit to promote her second book called, "How to stop feeling like shit.14 Habits that Are Holding You Back from Happiness" Don't you love that title?? Her chapter titles are fun too: Being an Asshole to Yourself: Learn to Manage Your Inner Critic Go Away and Leave Me Alone: Why Isolating and Hiding Out Isn't Protecting You Checking Out: Are Your Numbing Mechanisms Still Working for You? Compare and Despair: The Never-Ending Mind FÅck What I really enjoyed about this book is that each chapter addresses a very common problem and also has very practical, very actionable steps to help resolve the bad habits that keep us stuck. Its about taking the right action and doing it consistently. She says, "The key has been consistency and commitment to the work." and I couldn't agree more. Her book is being released on 1/2/18, and she is offering a private book study through her Facebook group with every purchase! I will actually be participating as well. The class starts 1/22/18 and I hope to meet you there too! You can purchase her book at: http://www.yourkickasslife.com So with that, please enjoy this conversation with Andrea!

OC29 Jeff - Living with Tourettes, Losing His Wife, Getting Sober

Welcome to a new series called "Meditations with Joy" The intention is to have a topic, a short discussion (or not) and then a guided meditation lead by Joy. In this episode, we talk a lot about being present, striving toward goals, acceptance and learning to meditate. Joy shares her perspective on how to hold space for the feelings that come up in order to be able to release them. We also talk about the difference between visualization, meditation, and manifesting and where and how each is useful. I got so much out of my conversation with her that I know I'll be coming back to hear what she said, over and over. Since this a new experiment, please let us know if you have any suggestions for topics or feedback. Thank you Joy!
