    193|From Addiction to Recovery Housing: Lynn’s Story of Sobriety, Healing, and Hope Unfiltered

    What does real recovery housing actually look like—and why does it save lives? In this episode host Laurie Hardie sits down with Lynn Zielasko to talk about her personal recovery journey from addiction and the deeper purpose behind her recovery housing program. Together they discuss sobriety, sober living homes, addiction recovery, accountability, structure, community support, and why successful recovery housing is about far more than simply providing a place to stay. Lynn shares the truth about what it takes to build a recovery program that truly helps people heal, rebuild their lives, and create lasting change. This conversation also dives into the emotional side of recovery, the importance of support systems, and how recovery housing can offer hope, dignity, and a real second chance. If you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, alcoholism, substance abuse, or navigating sober living and recovery programs, this episode offers honest insight, encouragement, and hope.

    181|From Feeling Unheard to Truly Connected: How to Rebuild Communication and Trust in Your Relationships with Laurie Thibert

    Have you ever walked away from a conversation feeling… completely unheard?   In this episode of Interrupted, I sit down with author and relationship strategist Laurie Thibert to explore the ideas behind her book The CATR Theory and how it is helping people strengthen relationships both at work and at home. Laurie introduces The CATR framework, a simple but powerful concept that compares healthy relationships to a four-legged table. When all four legs are strong, the relationship is stable. But when even one leg weakens, the entire structure can start to wobble. We talk about: • The meaning behind CATR and why each pillar matters • How the framework improves communication and trust • Why workplace relationships often break down • How leaders can build stronger teams and cultures • Practical ways to strengthen relationships at home and at work Whether you lead a team, run a business, or simply want stronger personal relationships, this conversation offers practical tools for building stability, trust, and connection.
