Voices In Recovery Podcast

This week's guest, Bill, shares some of his experiences working in Palestine, Gaza, Israel, and more. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come on to share some first hand experiences.

This week's guest, Saima Jamal, is an amazing human being. She's one of those strong activists out here despite the often harsh consequences they face from the authorities. Regardless of the opposition she faces every day, she stands up for what is right. For what is human. You may not understand her point of view and you may not agree with it. Try and remember that who she is standing up for is you and I as well. Her voice and the courage to use it for people. For all people. "No one of us can be free until everybody is free."Maya Angelou

This week's guest, Kimberly, comes to us from the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia. Not only is she a person in recovery, but she is a recovery coach and support human. Her story is a journey through alcoholism in a career where drinking was not only encouraged but supported in some respects. Thank you so much Kimberly, we appreciate you. If you're interested check her out on all the socials: IG: @spiritualrecovery @lastcallcoaching

This week Michael and Nazia stop by and we talk about an end to genocide and war. We talk about love, humanity, and a need for us to love one another regardless of whatever we may believe in. The answer remains to be love. Thank you Nazia and Michael for joining us and engaging in a talk about recognizing our humanity and making decisions from a place of love.

This week's guest, Juan Castro, stops by and I get to do something I really enjoy - listening to artists talk about art is heart and mind  opening. Juan is going to be performing at Freedom’s Path Recovery Society's open house fund raiser in March. Details to follow! Thank you Juan, we appreciate you.

This week, Michelle and Darcy sit down with me and we take a look back over 2023. We talk about how difficult it can be to keep pushing forward when the world appears like it's imploding. When our fellow humans commit genocide on women, children, whole families, and bloodlines across the ocean and call it war. 2023 saw the whole world grieving.

This week's guest, Joey, shares his unbelievable journey with us. In this episode we discuss adult themes that may not be suitable for all ages. Joey's openness about the life he's lived and how he came to be living in Calgary, Alberta Canada is commendable. Without giving away too much, I'll say that my pops was always right, love is the most transformative power there is. Love can bring the light from a long buried darkness even after people tried to extinguish the light as a child. Thank you Joey, we appreciate your courage, strength and hope.

his week's guest, Sue-Shane, stops by and shares her story. They lost their parents at different, incredibly impressionable ages. In so many ways, shaping the wonderfully, compassionate and intelligent woman, who sat with us. I'll leave her story for her to tell in detail, but suffice it to say that the world is a better place with her in it. Thank you Sue-Shane!

Our guest this week is Mark! He stops by and shares his journey from Nigeria to Canada! He loves his country of birth, but it is against the law for him to be who he is freely and openly. He is happy to be here, where he can celebrate his queerness and love however they see fit. We are so glad you are here spreading your smile and warmth to us Mark. Thank you!

This week's guest, Vernon, stops by to share his recovery journey with us. He's a creative soul with his own podcast called, Vernon S Podcast. He is walking the recovery path even though he has difficulty with meetings, he does not rule anything out that might be helpful. It was such a wonderfully warm sit down with him that I'll leave the rest up to your imagination...unless you listen.Thank you Vernon, we really appreciate you.
