What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? In this episode, Elizabeth "Bizzy" Chance dives into the importance of shedding fear and embracing the present moment. As we step into 2026, Elizabeth challenges listeners to leave behind the baggage of shame and anxiety that can cloud our lives. Through personal anecdotes and a touch of humour, she illustrates how being perpetually 'busy' often serves as a distraction from facing our true emotions.
With her unique blend of Catholic faith and recovery coaching, Elizabeth shares her journey of quiet reflection and the power of wiggling your toes—yes, literally—to ground oneself in the now. Elizabeth also talks about the value of leisure time, noting how younger generations seem to appreciate it more than ever. She encourages listeners to find joy in simple activities like playing games or exploring nature, reminding us that life is not just about constant motion.
Whether it's through meditation, quiet reflection, or even a game of mahjong, Elizabeth offers practical advice on how to slow down and truly live in the moment. The episode also touches on the impact of societal pressures and how they can lead us to feel isolated despite being constantly connected. By turning off distractions and focusing on meaningful interactions, Elizabeth believes we can foster a deeper sense of community and personal peace.
