Intelligence on the Rocks

From our founding fathers to the national bird Ben Franklin actually wanted, we’re cruising through history without stopping at our local watering holes.

Lizzy and Antonio wrap up season 8 with special guest Melissa Silverstein of The Healed Professional . Why would high achievers rather burn out than ask for help and what becomes possible when you finally stop carrying everything alone? 

Sobriety does not swoop in and turn back time.  Often, we are facing the difficult truth that things will never be the same.  Join us in an honest conversation with Ericka, a mom who has faced these truths and challenges and is making a difference in this sober community.

Special guest Belinda Morey. Tired of polished recovery narratives? So is Belinda. Join us as she talks raw progress, tiny wins, and the real work of healing.  

On the first episode of 2026, join Lizzy and Antonio as they meet with Lori Ada Jaroslow to discuss her musical, More Than All The Sky.  A powerful and deeply human work of art, the musical explores addiction, love, loss, and most importantly, hope.

Sometimes it can feel like we’re in a rut.  It’s hard to change and grow, but in sobriety it’s extra important not to become stagnant. 

How can we set intentions for the holidays to help us prepare for the people, places and situations that can be uncomfortable?  Toño and Lizzy sit down and discuss some helpful ideas for this holiday season.

In sobriety things can seem boring.  What are we supposed to do with our hands? How are we supposed to connect with others?  Where can we find joy?  Don’t worry, boredom is a good thing and the joy is right there waiting for us.

Are we as genuine as we think we are? To be genuine we must understand ourselves.  In sobriety this can be very difficult to navigate. Join Lizzy and Toño to explore the question the caterpillar asks Alice, “Who are you?”

It happens to all of us at some point, our brain hits the brakes.  It could be putting the phone in the refrigerator or the backpack on the dog, “What am I doing?!” What exactly is this phenomenon and how does it relate to sobriety? Join us as we try to navigate.
