    "Emily": A Neurodivergent Teacher’s Journey to 6 Years in Recovery

    Sober Shenanigans Podcast — Episode 41 Teaching Differently: Recovery, Neurodivergence, and Finding Your Superpower In this episode of Sober Shenanigans, we sit down with Emily, a teacher who works with neurodivergent students and celebrates six years in recovery. Her story is a powerful reminder that the traits that once made life difficult can become strengths when we find the right path. We talk about the intersection of recovery, education, neurodiversity, and purpose, and how learning to understand our brains—rather than fight them—can transform our lives. Emily shares what it’s like teaching kids who think differently, how recovery helped her find clarity and patience, and why embracing who you are might be the most powerful lesson of all. As always, Sober Shenanigans is the meeting before the meeting and after the meeting—where we share stories, laugh at ourselves, and remind each other that recovery can actually be fun.

This is a conversation about growth, humility, and learning to listen when life starts nudging (or shoving) you toward change. Honest, grounded, and quietly powerful—Lorenzo brings the kind of perspective that sticks with you long after the episode ends. Real talk. Real recovery. No fluff.

    Chris shooky The ref!!

    We sit down with Chris S., a longtime NHL referee, to talk about life inside one of the fastest, toughest leagues in professional sports — and the personal discipline it takes to survive it.   Chris opens up about the pressure of officiating at the highest level, accountability when millions are watching, and how recovery principles translate directly to consistency, integrity, and showing up when it matters most.   From the chaos on the ice to the calm required off it, this is a conversation about responsibility, resilience, and doing the right thing — even when no one agrees with the call.   🏒 High speed. High pressure. Real talk. Real recovery.
