Live Your Purpose Charles Gosset

My guest is Amy LaRue. In 2015 Amy’s family faced the biggest storm they had ever walked through. She remembers feeling helpless, angry, frustrated, lonely, and hopeless. She couldn’t believe addiction had taken over her family.

Within six months Amy had hit her rock bottom as a loved one of an alcoholic. She decided a change needed to be made and began to seek help for herself. That is when she attended her first Finding Hope meeting.

Because of Finding Hope, Amy learned she was not alone, it was not her fault, and there was hope. She discovered who she was again. Amy began to pray for God to use this storm for His glory and purpose.

In 2019 God called Amy to become the Finding Hope Coordinator for Hope is Alive Ministries. She now provides oversight and direction to all Finding Hope Support Groups across the United States & beyond. Amy’s mission is to give support and hope to others who are in the midst of the storm of loving someone addicted to drugs or alcohol.

My guest is Drew LaBoon, who is the Director of Admission and Outreach for Country Road Recovery Center, a Pathways Treatment Facility. He has been there since June 2020. Prior to that, he worked various jobs in the defense contracting industry following his retirement from the military in 2016.
Drew served honorably under United States Special Operations Command for 17 years, has 13 combat deployments, and numerous awards and decorations. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Boston College in 2017 and originally planned on working for the intelligence community. His career in drugs and alcohol started shortly after.


Drew’s experience with addiction and alcoholism extends to both his personal and professional life. Two inpatient treatment episodes, and 5 detox treatment centers over a 4-year period provide him with an intimate understanding of addiction. In 2019, Drew admitted to residential treatment for the final time at the facility he now works for. Country Road Recovery Center, along with actions taken in a 12-step recovery program, saved his life. Sharing his experience, strength and hope is the keystone of his own recovery; helping others know they are not alone, and recovery is possible.

My guest is Stephany Cochran, who currently serves as the Executive Director of the Green Shoe Foundation, a mental health non-profit organization that offers a 5-day group therapy retreat for adults 21 and older with a focus on healing from childhood trauma.

Stephany earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master’s of Science in Counseling and Student Services from the University of North Texas. She is passionate about helping others reach their full potential through compassion, leadership, and education.

Prior to joining the Green Shoe team, she was a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas and specialized in working with families, youth, and children. She facilitated experiential groups for children and teens struggling with emotional and behavioral difficulties. Through that practice, and as a mom to two incredible boys, her next move was close to the heart when her team started a private school for children and youth that offered individualized academic and therapeutic treatment plans. Once relocating to Oklahoma, Stephany’s path transitioned into Higher Education working with non-traditional students in the career college setting. Now as the Executive Director of Green Shoe, she is truly rooted where she gets to use her remarkable gifts at a place she loves to be.

Stephany is a huge advocate for self-care, whether through her leadership or simply taking a friend to dinner, creating mental health awareness is what she lives and breathes. When Stephany isn’t coaching others, you can find her tossing a ball to her fur-baby, Penske, reading Harry Potter or Twilight (for the hundredth time), spending time with her family, watching Hallmark movies, or cheering on her Texas Rangers during baseball season.

My guest is Mason Phillips, who is just a plain Oklahoma boy. He was born and raised right here, watching the Pokes play on Saturdays, fishing in the cool early weekend mornings, church every Sunday morning, and catching as many baseball games as he can. There was a time when he thought he would be a big music star, but somewhere along the way he took one psychology class and he was in love. No one would ever be impressed by his ACT score or GPA. But one thing is for sure, Mason makes even 30 minutes of conversation worth a man’s while.

In 2015, he officially made it his full-time job to have worthwhile conversations with people by becoming a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. He would spend the next years discovering how to help people break habits, became certified as a hypnotherapist, and eventually a State supervisor for new therapists.

Since then, Mason has learned that people really do change and grow inside the context of their relationships. Whether it be in your relationship with your spouse, your child, your parent, your God, or yourself, Mason wants you to be able to live in diverse relationships wholeheartedly. Mason works with individuals and couples to help them discover what they truly value in life and become clearer on what purpose God has for them here.

Mason does this privately in his therapy sessions, but he has also done this in group settings, at conferences full of people looking for stronger intimacy in their marriages, in classrooms, churches, and in organizations trying to fortify their leadership. And he can do it for you, too.

Today, Mason still lives in the heart of Oklahoma with his beloved wife, three incredible and hilarious kids, and his loyal dog, Clark. He still goes fishing, roots for the Cowboys every college football season, makes it to church every Sunday. And tries to catch as many baseball games as he can.
