Hello Loves, Thank you for downloading the podcast, my name is Arlina, and I’ll be your host.  Today, my guest is Micha Z - Podcast host of “Bitch Slap - The Accelerated Path to Peace” and long-timer in recovery.  But before we jump into the episode, I just wanted to share some upcoming content plans I have for you. So here’s the deal: My mission in life, my life’s purpose, whatever you want to call it, is to help lead people out of suffering. I do it because 1) suffering is so unnecessary, and 2) it can be done. And 3) I’m selfish. When I am useful to someone who is ready to receive solution, it fills my heart with peace and joy. I’m not even kidding, it makes me feel like I’m living my purpose. Of course I have boundaries and balance out my energy with my own self-care, but this work is in alignment with purpose and afterall, we don’t ever have to do this life alone. I have a ton of recovery resources to share with you that I’ve found over the 27 years I’ve been sober, so what I’m going to do is publish some mini solo episodes. They will be solution oriented, and outcome specific. The idea is that all the information you need to achieve any goal in life is out on the interwebs for FREE, but the trick is applying the information. The trick is to identify the blocks that keep you from doing the things you know to do that will make your life better. The overarching theme of the content is “Get sober, stay sober, go deeper” I’ll be publishing on YouTube, Instagram and on the One Day at a Time Facebook page, the newsletter (which by the way, I’m terrible at but I’m getting help) and of course the podcast.  The other thing I want you to know is that I’m listening to you! I want to hear about your struggles and challenges so that I can focus on topics YOU care about. So if you want to reach out, all my contact info is at soberlifeschool.com or the podcast website at odaatchat.com And there ya have it! please enjoy this conversation with Mischa!
