383 "Growth is Absolutely Possible" with Michelle Hunt Peacock

This Episode was sponsored by EMERGO ACADEMY/emergoacademy.com

“Friday’s conversation reminded me of something we don’t talk about enough…

Growth doesn’t have to be complicated. It doesn’t have to be perfect. And it sure doesn’t have to look like what anyone else says it should.

I sat down with Michelle Peacock—founder of Michelle Cares Inc.—and what stood out most wasn’t just what she’s built… it’s how she lives it.

We talked about something simple, but powerful… giving back. Volunteering. Showing up. Not because you have it all figured out—but because you’re willing to take one step forward.

For so many in recovery, confidence gets lost along the way. And Michelle shared how something as small as helping someone else… can be the very thing that helps you start believing in yourself again.

This episode is real. It’s human. It’s a reminder that healing isn’t fancy—it’s connection, it’s laughter, it’s showing up… even when you feel like you’re held together with coffee and determination.

Growth is absolutely possible… and this conversation proves it.”

Ep #382 The Breath Box, The Magical Combination with Laura Anderson

This episode was sponsored by EMERGO ACADEMY / emergoacademy.com

Today’s episode, “The Breath Box, The Magical Combination,” was a powerful conversation with Laura Anderson, Manager of The Breath Box Studio. We explored a different kind of healing—one that goes beyond talking and reaches into the body, the nervous system, and the breath itself.

Laura shared how The Breath Box creates a deeply immersive experience through a unique combination of breathing techniques, sound, tones, hertz, and frequencies designed to help people regulate the body, release emotional blocks, and reconnect with themselves in a profound way. We talked about the importance of understanding that the brain is not a Google search—it doesn’t instantly process pain, trauma, stress, or life’s hardest experiences. It needs time, space, and the right environment to slow down, feel safe, and heal.

This episode highlights how intentional breathwork can support somatic healing, emotional clarity, inner peace, and a more grounded life. If you’ve been carrying stress, anxiety, guilt, trauma, or emotional heaviness, this conversation opens the door to a healing modality that is both powerful and deeply personal.

Monday on AR-The Other side of Addiction podcast was a powerful one.

I had the honor of sitting down with Laura Anderson, Manager of The Breath Box Studio, for an episode we titled “The Breath Box, The Magical Combination.”

We spoke about the incredible way the body can be activated and supported through breathing, sound, tones, hertz, and frequencies. What stood out most in this conversation was the reminder that our brain is not a Google search—it doesn’t process life, pain, trauma, or stress instantly. Healing takes time. The nervous system needs safety. The body needs room to breathe.

The Breath Box Studio is offering a unique somatic healing experience that helps people move through stress, emotional blocks, anxiety, guilt, and limiting beliefs so they can reconnect with peace, clarity, and their true self.

This was more than a conversation about wellness. It was a conversation about giving ourselves permission to slow down enough to heal.

Ep #381 Digital Dependence With Eli Singer

This Episode was sponsored by EMERGO ACADEMY/emergoacademy.com

“Digital Dependence”

We live in a world where silence feels uncomfortable…
where stillness feels foreign…
and where reaching for our phones has become second nature.

But today’s conversation challenges that.

In this episode of The Other Side of Addiction, I sat down with Eli Singer, founder of Offline.now, to talk about something that doesn’t get labeled enough for what it really is… digital dependence.

Not addiction in the traditional sense…
but a constant need for stimulation, distraction, and escape.

And here’s the truth—
most people aren’t lacking discipline…

They’re lacking confidence.

Eli brings a refreshing, non-judgmental approach to digital wellness—one that doesn’t rely on extreme detoxes or unrealistic rules. Instead, he focuses on small, practical shifts that create real change in everyday moments:

• The chaos of mornings
• The tension around homework
• The disconnect at dinner
• The scroll before bed

Because change doesn’t happen in extremes…
it happens in the moments we usually overlook.

We also went deeper—into the why.

Why do we constantly seek stimulation?
Why does silence feel so uncomfortable?
Why do so many people feel shame around their habits?

The answer isn’t weakness.
It’s human behavior.

And just like recovery…
there is no one-size-fits-all solution.

Ep #380 HUSS Alignment; The Truth That Changes Everything With Peter Anthony

The episode was sponsored by EMERGO ACADEMY / emergoacademy.com

There’s a dangerous illusion that lives even inside recovery…

The belief that “my way is the way.”

Today’s conversation with Peter Anthony challenged that head-on.

We talked about spirituality, ego, and the uncomfortable truth that even in spaces meant for healing… people still judge, shame, and divide.

We convince ourselves we’re different. Unique. Set apart.

But the truth?

We’re not as different as we think.

We’re all searching for the same things:
Peace. Purpose. Freedom. Love.

And yet… some still shame others for how they get there.

Because their path didn’t look the same.

Because it didn’t require the same tools.

Because it didn’t follow the same rules.

But here’s the shift—

Recovery is not about discipline alone.
It’s about learning to love yourself enough to choose life.

Not once… but over and over again.

And when we shame someone for how they heal…

That’s not strength.

That’s ego.

That’s immaturity.

That’s forgetting what it felt like to be broken.

The Truth That Changes Everything

There may be sacred texts.
There may be teachings.
There may be principles.

But there is no single human path that fits every soul.

God didn’t create copies.

He created individuals.

And every path is personal.

So when we judge someone else’s recovery…

We’re not protecting truth.

We’re protecting our ego.

Stop asking,
“Why aren’t they doing it my way?”

Start asking,
“Are they healing?”

Because if they are…

Then love them.
Support them.
Respect them.

Replace judgment with compassion.
Replace ego with humility.
Replace shame with love.

This is exactly why Healing Utah Success Summit exists.

Because we are done with:

❌ Policing recovery
❌ Ranking journeys
❌ Shaming people for surviving differently

And we are standing for something greater:

✔️ Compassion over stigma
✔️ Truth over silence
✔️ Education over judgment
✔️ Hope over shame

We believe:

There is no single path to recovery.
Only the courage to begin.

And if someone is choosing life—
no matter what that looks like—

That is worth celebrating.

Ep #379 Discovering Your Magnificence with Randy Scott

This Episode was sponsored by EMERGO ACADEMY / emergoacademy.com

“What if your magnificence was never lost… only buried beneath fear, pain, and programming?”

On this episode, we explore what it really means to discover the magnificence that already lives inside each of us.

For many of us, life programs us through fear, pain, trauma, and expectations. Over time we begin to believe those stories are who we are. But the truth is, they are only layers placed on top of something much deeper.

Discovering your magnificence is the journey of coming back to yourself.

We talk about what it takes to stay present with our emotions instead of running from them, how to sit with discomfort, and how to begin recognizing the difference between fear-based programming and the voice of our true spirit.

We also touch on difficult realities many people face—addiction, suicidal thoughts, and the feeling of losing ourselves along the way. But even in those darkest places, there is still a possibility waiting to return.

Because discovering your magnificence doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a process. A decision. A willingness to look inward.

And once that decision is made, something powerful begins to happen. Whether you call it God, a Higher Power, or the spirit within, help begins to appear. Guidance shows up. People enter your life. Doors begin to open.

One thing becomes clear: we were never meant to do this alone.

The magnificence we’re searching for isn’t something we have to earn or create.
It’s something we learn to reconnect with — the spirit that has been inside us all along.

Randall H. Scott is a leadership advisor, author, and architect of the Zenpowerment framework. With a background in international business, executive consulting, and cross-cultural leadership, he has spent decades studying the intersection of identity, power, nervous system regulation, and relational dynamics.

His work integrates neuroscience, leadership psychology, and grounded spirituality into applied models for personal sovereignty and organizational coherence.

He is the author of multiple works exploring authenticity, relational maturity, and conscious leadership. Through his writing and advisory work, he challenges the cultural drift toward fragmentation and reactive power, offering instead a disciplined path toward coherence and sovereign participation.

Ep #378 DUI Prevention with Carolyn Erikson

This show was sponsored by EMERGO ACADEMY/emergoacademy.com

DUI Prevention – Changing the Conversation with Carolyn Erickson

On this episode of The Other Side, we explore a topic that affects thousands of lives every year—DUI prevention.

My guest, Carolyn Erickson, believes the way we’ve traditionally dealt with drunk driving and DUI offenses needs to change. For decades the focus has largely been on punishment after the fact, yet the numbers show the problem continues.

In Utah alone there have been 10,923 DUI arrests, costing taxpayers roughly $15.3 million. About 30% of those arrests involve young males between the ages of 24 and 35.

But the true cost of a DUI goes far beyond fines and courtrooms. A DUI can impact employment opportunities, raise insurance and loan interest rates, and even prevent someone from entering certain countries. One decision can leave consequences that follow a person for years.

Carolyn is working to change the conversation by focusing on prevention and awareness before someone gets behind the wheel. She has even helped bring DUI awareness information into driver’s education testing, helping young drivers understand the real-life consequences early.

She also created a simple but powerful daily mindset tool called “The Simple 6.”

The idea is beautifully simple:

Every day take a moment to acknowledge six things:

• Two expressions of gratitude
• Two compliments or acknowledgments to someone else
• Two compliments or acknowledgments to yourself

That’s it.

The goal is to shift mindset, build self-awareness, and help people stay grounded in appreciation and connection—because when people are more present and aware, they’re more likely to make better choices.

This episode is about responsibility, awareness, and prevention. Because sometimes the most powerful change doesn’t come from punishment after a mistake—it comes from helping people make better choices before the mistake ever happens.

Monday on AR-The Other Side of Addiction Podcast with Carolyn Erickson.

Carolyn is the Creator of DUIrisks and Simple 6. Also court reporter, mediator, hypnotherapist.

Her focus is on reducing DUI deaths coming from prevention instead of punishment. Proud to say this program is now in all Utah high school drivers ed classes and will be required before receiving a drivers license so drivers will make the smart decision to never drive impaired.

Simple 6 came about because of the high su***de rate for teens. This provides a different way of going through the day, seeing the good in yourself and others and filling your life with gratitude.
