So happy to introduce you to my new Assistant Coach, Bobby! 

On this week's episode, you'll get to hear his story AND hear the two of us offer coaching advice to real listener letters.

Bobby's powerful story of facing arrest, finding peace in surrender, and rebuilding his life offers insights for your own path.

EP 3:30 Chemsex Recovery: The Glitching Phase
The Space Between The last light rail pickup was at 2am so I had to be checked out by the Taco Restaurant manager and collect my tips by 1:45 so I could run the four blocks to the stop. I learned my lesson after having slept on the bench outside after missing it once. The train would take me all the way across town to my new home: the Golden Leaf Motel. The door was warped, leaving a crack wid...
