    New Year, Ten Years Married, Alcohol-Free & Aligned: A RecoverMate Reset

    In this deeply personal episode, Rick and Danielle pause to celebrate 10 years of marriage and reflect on the journey that led them off the hamster wheel of life and into a more intentional, aligned way of living. They open up about how easy it is to get stuck in autopilot: chasing more, doing more, and staying busy while quietly losing direction. Rick shares the pivotal mindset shift that shaped RecoverMate and helped him step away from old patterns that no longer served his life, leadership, or relationships. Together, they explore what removing alcohol has truly offered them, not as a sacrifice, but as a gift. From stronger connection and clearer communication to expanded opportunities, deeper self-trust, and shared growth, they unpack how sobriety created space for a life they once couldn’t see. As were all experiencing the holiday season, Rick and Danielle talk about how to reset without pressure or perfection, how to navigate social moments with intention, and how to gently but powerfully remove what no longer serves you as you begin your 2026. This episode is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and choose alignment over exhaustion. ✨ The question remains: Will you accept RecoverMate’s 12 Months Challenge?  Listen for more.
