Recovered Life: Sobriety & Holistic Self Healing for the Addiction Recovery Community

In this episode of Recovered Life, Chelsea is joined by Tom Ettinger, a retired United States Marine and badass mental health warrior.
Since retiring from the Marine Corp. in 2020, Tom has used his social media platforms to speak boldly about that which too much of our society is willing to address- our veteran (and civilian) suicide and mental health crisis. He’s the President of SitRep22, a Veterans’ Mental Health Awareness non-profit and part of the 22Mohawks Suicide Prevention team.
If you’re a veteran or service member, you’ll enjoy Tom and Chelsea’s trips down memory lane of their time in boot camp/basic training and in service.
9: The Best Medicine for Depression is Movement with U.S. Navy Veteran Danny Mayberry
Recovered Life: Sobriety & Holistic Self Healing for the Addiction Recovery Community
07/30/24 • 69 min
In this episode of Recovered Life, I’m happy to be joined by Danny Mayberry, a United States Navy veteran with multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. His long-term sobriety, compassion and resilience make him a wonderful asset to the veteran mental health advocacy space. He’s the host of the 1 Mile 1 Veteran podcast. Together with his wife Leighanne, he produces social media content that encourages
Our conversation is a beautiful example of what it can look like to hold space for one another’s healing. Both Danny and I shared openly and vulnerably about our experiences fighting addiction & depression while in the military, childhood traumas that followed us into our service, and how we maintain sobriety and protect our emotional health today.
As per usual here on Recovered Life, I also call into question the conventional “medication only” approach. I really appreciated Danny’s insights not only as a former Navy Corpsman, but someone who honors the power of nature and the human body’s self healing capacity.

8: Be Your Own Health Care Hero with Dr. Hannah Donahoe
Recovered Life: Sobriety & Holistic Self Healing for the Addiction Recovery Community
07/16/24 • 47 min
What if any and all “routine” engagement with the Western medical system was entirely optional?
What if the system so many people rely on for health care isn’t actually about health care, but sick care?
What if the only person who can truly heal you is...YOU?
What if you were your own health care hero?
For some, these questions feel empowering. Others may feel challenged, convicted, or even triggered. Whatever your perspective, I invite you to consider the ways in which you’ve outsourced your power and responsibility, and how you might reclaim it.
I’m happy to be joined by Dr. Hannah Donahoe for a follow-up chat. While our conversation primarily addresses the United States’ health insurance industry and hospital birth culture, the principles we share will encourage anyone seeking to connect to the Self-Healer within.

6: Which Sobriety Pathway is “Best?” with Hayley Matches
Recovered Life: Sobriety & Holistic Self Healing for the Addiction Recovery Community
05/13/24 • 51 min
I’m happy to welcome my first international guest and fellow sober sister to the podcast, Hayley Matches, from Vancouver, BC.
Hayley is a Certified Professional Recovery Coach who’s been alcohol-free since 2019. Her sobriety has led to radical shifts in her goals, values & desires, and she now helps others live what she calls an Unwasted Life.
Through this conversation, Hayley & I hope to address some of the divisiveness, contention & misconceptions within the recovery world around which pathway is “best”. We break down the difference between sober coaches, licensed therapists & mentors. Although I got sober in the traditional 12 step community & Hayley didn’t, there’s so many similarities in what led us toward alcohol and away from it.
Whether you’ve been sober for years, newly sober, or simply exploring your relationship with alcohol, I hope this episode propels you toward self-empowered sobriety and supportive community no matter which pathway you choose. At the end of the day, we are more alike than different.

4: Self Advocacy for a Natural Health Approach with Marie Gonzalez
Recovered Life: Sobriety & Holistic Self Healing for the Addiction Recovery Community
03/18/24 • 42 min
Have you ever felt disempowered, spoken down to, bullied, coerced or simply dissatisfied in interactions with a medical professionals? Have previous attempts to treat health issues with temporary fixes, rather than addressing the cause, left you feeling hopeless? You’re not alone.
Joining me for a conversation about self empowerment, natural health and trusting our bodies is my friend Marie Gonzalez, from Tucson, Arizona. Marie is a Reiki Practitioner, Spiritual Life Coach and Healing Facilitator.
Her story contains powerful lessons about how to advocate for yourself in medical settings, embrace your feminine power in birth and motherhood, and choose self-empowerment instead of outsourcing responsibility for your health. The principles shared here apply not just to women’s health, but to anyone.
Marie and I share personal experiences with standing up for ourselves and overcoming medical doctors’ lack of belief in the human body’s innate ability to heal. While our intent isn’t to attack those who enter the medical profession with a sincere desire to help, we ARE here to critique disempowering systems and remind you that YOU have the final say when it comes to your health care.

17: Self Compassion for the Addiction Recovery Journey with Dr. Jamal Früster
Recovered Life: Sobriety & Holistic Self Healing for the Addiction Recovery Community
01/22/25 • 35 min
In this episode of Recovered Life, Chelsea Anderson is joined by Dr. Jamal Früster, owner of Alma Sana Chiropractic Studio, host of Soul Coffee podcast and Life Coach from Tucson, Arizona.
Dr. Jamal’s signature workshop, Providing for the Provider, serves leaders, health care professionals and other providers so they can sustainably serve others. Many of the principles taught within this workshop can be beautifully applied by those in addiction recovery. Chelsea has personally attended and benefited greatly from Providing for the Provider.
Here, Dr. Jamal shares his personal journey through childhood trauma, choosing to become a Chiropractor, overcoming addictive patterns and serving others in practice.
Key take-aways:
• Addictions are often a result of needs going unmet, and/or unconscious attempts to self-regulate.
• Understanding root causes of addiction compassion for people who are struggling and for one’s self.
• “Where focus goes, energy flows.” Coming back from a relapse can be an opportunity to refocus and discover needs that are going unmet.
• Self love and self compassion dissolve guilt and shame surrounding addictive behaviors, which opens the door to recovery.
• Maintaining a balance of serving others and prioritizing one’s own needs is essential for long-term sobriety and health. Taking care of Self is taking care of others.
