EP 39 Dr. Elisa Hallerman: Soulbriety Heal Your Trauma, Overcome Addiction and Reconnect w/Your Soul
Request access now Firesidechat.com/daniellapark Dr. Hallerman is an attorney and member of the New York State Bar Association. She found success in the entertainment industry as partner and head of the talent department at United Talent Agency, later becoming the top talent agent and partner at William Morris Endeavor - representing the best of Hollywood's elite. Dr. Hallermen launched Recovery Management Agency (RMA) in 2011, and it is the first-ever recovery management program of its kind. RMA is a consulting company providing clients with a team of managers to help them navigate their journey toward healing and recovery. Having been sober for years, Dr. Hallerman realized her lifestyle was making her sick - though she had freed her addiction to substances, she had not freed her soul. After years of trauma and substance abuse, she had only covered up the wounds, rather than truly healing them from within. So, in her 40s, Elisa went back to school, taking classes in drug and alcohol counseling at the University of California, Los Angeles, in 2010. She now holds a master’s and doctorate from Pacifica Graduate Institute in Depth Psychology and Somatic Studies, focusing on neuroscience and trauma. Dr. Hallerman is also a drug and alcohol counselor, and certified in yogic science for addictive behavior. In addition, she is a member of the Institute for Functional Medicine. Dr. Elisa Hallerman's first novel SOULBRIETY: Heal Your Trauma, Overcome Addiction, and Reconnect with Your Soul, is a prescriptive memoir on overcoming drug and alcohol addiction, PTSD and chronic trauma. SOULBRIETY explores how to recognize adverse childhood experiences and trauma, which if unhealed - are often at the core of most adult addiction and alcoholism - and touches on timely topics such as the traumatic events facing us every day: from a pandemic, mass shootings, political injustices, war, and terrorism.

EP37 Kiola Raines: Sober, Fit & Fabulous - We discuss Scientific Studies on Diet, Movement and Healthy Habits to Help You Mentally & Physically Get Sober
Request access only on Fireside to be part of the live show! Firesidechat.com/daniellapark As 2022 comes to a close, it appears a new breed of health-conscious sub-species has reared its head for all to see. Egotism and vanity have been attributed to the practice of fitness and physical health, but it has been retorted as unnecessary bias from a crowd, who may not have all its ducks together in the first place. And the Us vs. Them-thought process was any different maybe? Here’s something to chew on why fitness is more advantageous than perilous unless you’re a completely reprehensible glutton: Fitness saves lives Fitness saves mental health Fitness renews marriages The list could go on, however, to solidify these points and to provide more, we called in Kiola Raines to the show this week. Kiola has an extensive portfolio from certified nutrition coach to being a Peer Support Specialist. She has worked in many facets of the fitness industry and has used this knowledge to inject some positive physical education into the recovery community. She joins us on DIS Live to tell her story and to shed some much-needed light and details on how physical activity above physicality is how the ‘twain is to be met. Happy New Year 2023! We hope you enjoyed this episode full of great knowledge and we thank you for listening! xo, Daniella Park and Chris Nell Check out my everything recovery store doingitsober.com Join us every Tuesday live on Youtube or Fireside at 5PM EST

EP34 "Bling Empire" Star Kevin Kreider Talks About Reinvention, Sobriety, Identity and Sans! You don't want to miss this great episode!
Reinvention: Identity, Sobriety and The Wheel with Kevin Kreider Broadcast journalist and pioneer of BBC’s HardTalk Chris Sackur once made the astute observation that artistic types are confined to a single label, as it is more convenient to survey the skill of an artist to the public, but . . . Art doesn’t have limits, only small minds do as is paraphrased by Stanislavski. On this show and many subject programs, pay attention long enough and you’ll notice that seekers and advocates of Recovery have a strong creative streak that spans mediums by the dozen and as such have ventured to create their own content to purvey their skills. . . . . . This show is a primo example. Commerce, meanwhile, at the same time has been a tricky shadow subject and to this day has kept advocates on their toes where Recovery is concerned - “How in the world could you charge something you can get for free?” comes the one statement, whilst “Recovery is NEVER FREE!” also has been heard for a foolish retort. Art and commerce are uncommon bedfellows as are Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, but the heart is what separates the boys from the men. Taking a stand when the deck is stacked high and breaking the mold. Kevin Kreider is the second coming to reinvent this wheel. Kevin has an extensive portfolio spanning the arts, business, and motivational speaking to name but a few. He has been featured extensively on multimedia with his endeavors to break cultural stereotypes (much like his predecessor, the legendary James Hong) in Television and Film and is featured on the popular unscripted series on Netflix “Bling Empire”. As a further testament to his versatility, Kevin used his experience and created a new opportunity with his new ready-to-drink zero-proof cocktail, Sans. He joins DIS Live to chat about his journey and the path he molded for himself to highlight cultural and career diversity. Tune in on DIS Live, every Tuesday at 5 pm Est 2 pm PSt. To be part of our live audience or ask questions to our guests please request access ahead of time firesidechat.com/daniellapark Thanks for listening!

Rhyme to Rhyme, Beat to Beat of Recovery with Rami Matan Words of metered rhyme has been a pastime to get outage of inner - conflict or reflect Like with beat poetry, words have the propensity to make the audiences cry, think, become enraged and hopefully not kill anyone . . . There’s no such thing as justifiable homicide. Words also have the ability to give hope. The best thing about sobriety is words are made concrete with action . . . . . Or beats as the case May be. This is why Rami Matan puts words to paper and makes them into beats. His heartbeat is moving on. His words are . . . There is hope and a future. He’s here to talk about his story, his love of rap and combining humor with his beats to create another outlet for people to find courage . . . Without Dutch courage.

EP30 Jarrod Collier: Step Out of the Box - Addiction vs The Big 🌏
Hosted by Daniella Park and Chris Nell. Be part of the show Every given moment involves change. It’s an uncomfortable phase, but the meddle of every given human being is forged in fire - integration or evolution. What works for you and what doesn’t? In a dysfunctional society and sobriety, a clear blueprint is never provided, which is why mentorship is almost a compulsory given. On the opposite end of the coin, continuous independent study is a faithfully enriching tool. The best part is it is going from failure to failure with unfinished enthusiasm, to quote late Prime Minister Winston Churchill, while also embracing change. This is the independent study that Jarrod Collier embraces fully. Jarrod has enjoyed recent success as founder of the initiative Strength In Time and his podcast, entitled Redeem Yourself. During his visit to DIS Live, he chats on his path to recovery, some lessons he purveyed, and how exactly to go about to Step Out The Box. You’re invited to join us.

EP29 Reverend Rex: Author, Minister Recovery Mentor Talks Suicide Epidemic, Heroin Addiction Biking
How to know what Love is, a Love Story by Reverend Rex If you have been following this show for any measure of time, you’ll come to learn that child neglect and abuse may often have led to the breeding of drug addiction. Tiresome as it may seem to some in society, the curtain is pulled back and the faults of individuals are laid at their very feet. In contrast, judgment is reserved purely by the court judge and the judgment of the Deity. What is overlooked by society, is how we, the sober and the daring, consistently raise issues without the help of normies, but rather through one another; we become more informed, more inspired, and less judgmental. However what we thrive in . . . Is telling the uncomfortable truth. And the truth is . . . YOU can’t hurt us anymore. Reverend Rex is a disciple in this premise. A former heroin addict and certified coach among many titles in his oeuvre, he has spent his time teaching many former addicts about self-love through many practices. He has expanded on his skill through means of a podcast, entitled Know Love and he is currently spearheading preparation for a coast-to-coast biking event, due to kick off in the month of June, of the coming year, In June of 2023, Rex will embark on a coast-coast bike ride, from Seattle to Miami to raise money for Outreach, Awareness & Prevention Check out his social links (This is the GoFUndME page for our campaign) You’re invited to join us.

EP29 Luc Zoratto: Running a Marathon 2 Sobriety
For both constituents of “normality” and early Recovery . . . Be honest it’s an unpopular war. In the Big Book, a passage is even dedicated to how simpler times have been, when the sanity of the first drink was the order of the day. Now with all barriers stripped and deeds laid bare (don’t get any ideas), now an uncertain future looms on the horizon . . . Although that notion should be replaced with the beauty of the Savannah to indicate what potential is to be found. However, like building muscle, or building a business or a brand, to quote the once legendary Australian rugby union coach and omnipresent commentator Alan Jones: “The Keys to success are the three P’s - Pressure, Pressure, Pressure.” Luc Zoratto, a rising Canadian hobby athlete understands this well. Not only in athletics but as well as in life. Having achieved sobriety since 2016, Luc today is a doting family man and a devotee to his well-being. He chats to us about his history with AUD and how his devotion to running has aided his recovery. He’s coming to DIS Live . . . And we want to hear his story. You’re invited to join us.

EP28 Jessica Faulconnier Weis: Four Seasons of Sobriety in the Small Country of Luxembourg
The opposite of loneliness in addiction is a community in Recovery. No person is an island and so rubbing shoulders with people who have an adequate amount of clean time can become a post for learning. A noble quote from our previous guest Alex Talbot states that RecoverWE is CommUNITY. In the second to third year of the program, students and adherents are motivated to try their hand at starting their own meetings or even influencing of community. True to form, we stretch our wings and extend our footprint to one of the four institutional seats of Europe and welcome Jessica Faulconnier-Weis to our program. Jessica is both culture-rich and articulate and has worked tirelessly to institute a recovery community, dragging constituents into the 21st century. She chats with him about her journey to sobriety and what stirred her spirit to begin planning the first sober gathering, in the very heart of Luxembourg. She’s coming to DIS Live . . .

EP27 Darren Reed: Navigating Early Recovery
We have Dareen Reed! A very informative episode if you are new or struggling in recovery or out of recovery! Recovery saved my life. I was broken. I was spiritually bankrupt. I had lost nearly everything. I had hit rock bottom several times but just kept digger deeper. I was at a crossroads, I had a choice, if I continued to use drugs and alcohol I would destroy myself and everyone around me as they watch me die. Or I could completely surrender to the disease of addiction and recovery. Recovery is a process of change in which people improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential.... For me, this means recovery isn’t just being 𝐬𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 or going to meetings. It is 𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐌𝐘 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄. I have spent many years as a motivational speaker on mental health and substance use disorders to try to help others reach their full potential… I am a regular speaker at Hazelden and treatment centers across the State of Minnesota giving back that which was so freely given to me.

EP25: Tim Lodgen- Fitness, Meditation & How Giving Back Has Helped Him Find His True Purpose In Life
Another rather disconcerting dalliance with regard to addiction is its bedfellow of mental illness. A handful of criteria had been recorded as to be the sole cause of a mental disorder - brain injury, trauma sustained in a family setting, excessive bullying or worse yet . . . A curse of genetics. What is even more concerning is the after-effects that prolonged use of drugs and alcohol is a direct contributor to the development of such disorders NL. Anxiety, psychotic disorders such as schizophrenia, and even bipolar disorder. But . . . It’s never a death sentence. Tim Lodgen, the warrior of this week is a sterling example. Tim has been through the wringer in this life, but after a particularly dramatic event, the man has made it his mission to not become another statistic, but rather a statement, shining light, and an axiom for those who are afflicted and cannot fathom reaching out. We’ll discuss his journey from then until now, how fitness plays a pivotal role and Tim will bust some myths and fallacies about mental health afflictions that float about society today. Tim is also a featured speaker that will take to the stage of the inaugural Empower 2 Recover A conference that is due to premiere in British Columbia this coming November. He’s coming to DIS Live . . . And we want to hear his story. You’re invited to join us. Hope you enjoyed another inspiring episode!

Legendary Comedian Craig Shoemaker Talks Recovery, God and Being Authentically Funny
You don't want to miss this one! 🌟🌟🌟 Laughter is the best medicine . . . A snigger, titter, or guffaw per day keeps the nuthouse farther away. Comedy is the essence, or rather the “tonic” that proves faithfully that a sense of humor is indeed life’s greatest equalizer. Not only an equalizer but also a practical healer. The Living Word, in the book of Psalms, states expressly: ”He who sits in the Heavens LAUGHS.” In itself, the verse dictates laughter has a healing factor - for body, mind, and soul. Popular comedian and versatile entertainer Craig Shoemaker stands true to this principle to the letter. Both a Two-time Emmy winner and the recipient of the Funniest Male Stand-Up Comic by the coveted American Comedy Awards, Mr. Shoemaker has acted on the big and small screens is a mainstay of live theatre and appeared on both radio and interactive media as a voice artist. A renaissance man of entertainment. Mr. Shoemaker is also the proud founder of Command The Room and Laughter Heals - both initiatives aimed at providing coaching and other resources with humor as the guide to overcoming anxiety and even reconnecting with one’s self.

"RHOC's" Braunwyn Windham-Burke: On Getting Sober & Staying Sober
On Getting Sober and Staying Sober - Braunwyn Windham-Burke If the pen is mightier than the sword . . . . Mightier still is the registered coil of the mic and the sure- shot barrel of a camera lens. Pioneer Steven Spielberg believed at one time that television held more potential than the big screen itself; that statement wouldn’t perhaps preclude the birthing of the concept of “unscripted” television. Reality TV in premise provides viewers with insight into how a person reacts to real-life, first-world dreams and dilemmas, although the notion remains conflicted if the captured content is faithful or industry “play-for-pay.” Although emotional transparency, including anguish and heartbreak, are qualities no one can fake and no camera can miss. Braunwyn Windham-Burke knows this all too well. She graced syndicated network screens as part of the ensemble series The Real Housewives of Orange County, which enjoyed a healthy run of 16 feature-length seasons. How does inviting audiences into one’s private life affect one’s mental state? Notwithstanding the lives of those we love? Braunwyn joins us to talk about her sobriety, life, and love beyond the cameras. Thanks for listening to DIS Live . . . And we want to hear her story.

Mark Kendall: Great White Band Member Guitarist Talks About His New Life
The world of rock ‘n roll has been famed . . . Or rather notorious for the full-tilt subculture of recklessness, although that phase came and went in the same manner as the typewriter. Whether that notoriety has had a lingering effect from a combination of tabloid journalism, continued participation by misguided followers . . . . The actual truth behind the industry of hard rock today has seen a paradigm shift, regarding socio-economic issues and even the build of positive relationship building with audiences locally and worldwide. Mark Kendall knows this facet all too well. As a guitarist and an integral part of the cult favorite Great White, Kendall has fashioned himself as an old soul musician who enjoys human connection and believes that even though a lot has changed, much ought to remain the same - record making, songwriting, purchasing music alike. Mark is also has a head on his shoulders, he has thrown his weight behind MusiCares which has seen him featured on radio and TV for his efforts in promoting Recovery.

Addiction we’ve come to learn hops like a bunny rabbit from generation to generation sitting on each of the individuals with a similar last name like an 800-pound gorilla.

Michael Molthan-M2 The Rock: Hitting Rock Bottom to Helping Others Trapped BY Addiction
As a result of being forgiving, grateful, and finally accepting his role in the trauma that he received, Michael Molthan can help others by sharing the supernatural experience he received and is still receiving as a result of true forgiveness. DALLAS, TX – Michael Molthan doesn't shy away from talking about his painful past of drug and alcohol addiction. On his talk show called, M2-The Rock, he shares how he went from building homes to being homeless. "When I had the homebuilding company my behaviors were getting worse and worse," Molthan told CBN News. "My consequences were getting worse and worse." Molthan was arrested on a drug charge in 2009. "I had a large amount of cocaine in my truck," he explained. "I was intoxicated, and I was arrested. And I'll never forget that when they took me down to the jail, I had my very first mug shot." Hitting Rock Bottom 26 mug shots later, Molthan hit rock bottom. "When I look back, that's how the word powerless – I'm powerless over this deadly disease," he said. Feeling agitated, anxious, and facing three years behind bars, Molthan underwent a spiritual encounter after an inmate asked him to read to him. "I grab this book from a gang-banger, a black panther, and he used it as a pillow," he explained. "Brand new book and it was the Living Recovery Bible, New Living Translation. Now, these are black words on white paper at the time. They're not meaning anything to me. Next thing I know, four days have passed by and I started thinking about this and I go, four days just went by and I wasn't anxious. I wasn't in fear. I was calm, and I was at peace." Life-Changing Moment Later that night, he experienced another life-changing moment. "I couldn't breathe," he recounted. "All of a sudden I felt all this trash and hatred and anger and resentment and everything just coming out of my body like flies. All this stuff was just coming out. And I just took this breath and I just go something magical happened and I was full of love, and looking around I loved everybody." "I started preaching and I didn't realize what I was doing," he said. "And I did it at the end of every dinner." Paperwork Error Leads to Early Release In 2017, a paperwork error led to Molthan's accidental release. So, with no money or food, he walked 300 miles to ask judge Jennifer Bennett to send him back to jail. "I walk in there to turn myself in and I'm excited," says Molthan. "I'm like, 'I'm going to go back to prison. I'm going to do my time, get this over with and get this behind me.' I mean, complete acceptance. God is running the show, right?" He continued, "I walk in there and Judge Bennett says, 'Mr. Molthan there's obviously someone a lot bigger working in your life than me and I'm not going to get in the way.' And she set me free. And she said, 'I want you to come back tomorrow with the self-correct program. I want you to go pay it forward."' And Molthan is doing just that by sharing his story of freedom and sobriety with those seeking help for addiction. Helping Others Trapped by Addiction Michael Molthan’s passion is to help people by “raising the bottom” so that no one has to experience the pain that he endured. Molthan's speaking style is so relatable and he loves sharing his love for God and Jesus Christ. M2 is quoted by saying: “When It Comes To Religion I Am An Atheist BUT When It Comes To The Gospel, The Truth, and The Word of God I Am All In”! To learn more visit .
