Spiritual Underground Podcast

There is an old saying that reminds me of Justin, "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." There is some debate as to who it is attributed to, and I'm not getting into that. What I do know is that Justin is a guy I can talk to, our two hours together flew by, and even though he is i...

Meet Cat, the owner of 502 Power Yoga in Louisville Kentucky (and in Jeffersonville Indiana😉), she and I spent some time on the tail end of this Derby weekend to chat about her story of coming to find her true spirit through the practice of yoga, another way I've heard it said is "True Voice". Yoga, and specifically 502 Power Yoga, is where I picked up the phase "True North Alignment", it refers...

Frank is another man who has had a mighty big influence on my recovery, when we first met he was a couple years into a new start after having a long run of continuous sobriety. Like many, he has lots more years of recovery experience than the number on his current coin. Frank's spiritual growth over the past few years has been astonishing to say the least, he has certainly laid down his old ideas...

I first heard of "Army Mark" during my early attempts at recovery in 2011, he was deployed and the group I was frequenting would give updates on how he was doing. That caught my attention, this group of folks were keeping a guy in the loop even though he was thousands of miles away. I bounced in and out over the next few years and started to see Mark in person, but I didn't really get to know him...

Completely love Lisa, she has fantastic energy, and I knew we were gonna get along real well when she instantly fell in love with my rabbit Paige :-) Starting right off with a beginning that rocked me back on my heels, she left me speechless for a bit - Yes, me, speechless! Lisa's is certainly a phoenix rising from the ashes story that will touch your heart. You will hear how a life of denial was...

Many of the guests have been from my home group, I'm really Juiced to be branching out to others in the community like Jeremy! I really enjoy connecting with the soul at the other end of the table, and this guy has a soul the size of Mt. Everest, it is a blessing to have gotten to know Jeremy better, and now here is your chance to get to know him also!   Subscribe! Like! Share! https://w...

The Twelve Step Spiritual Recovery movement here in Louisville has held it's first four meetings, the power in the meetings and the depth of the shares have been phenomenal! In honor of this, Christopher stopped by the studio to continue the discussions around the book, around the meetings, and mostly to just spend some time jaw jacking, spreading the word about what TSSR continues to do in our li...

You are hearing his music around the podcast, and it took me a bit, but I finally managed to get Darren in the studio, and he brought his guitar to boot. Darren has had a huge influence on my personal Recovery, specifically, I credit him with teaching me to hug, and to truly listen. My body gets that all natural kundalini back tingle up through my neck every time I'm around him. Words fall sh...

On a Tuesday "Juiceday" Morning, I decided to go solo for a bit, mix things up, create some variety. I've heard it said that there are two thing we hate more than any others, one is "Change", and the other is "The way things are", I like a routine in my life, but I also know that I really only grow when I'm outside of my comfort zone, going solo here is outside my comfort zone.

Krista was born in Alaska, traveled around the country and eventually landed in Louisville KY, the disease took away an NCAA division 1 swimming scholarship, today, recovery has restored her love for the water and she now swims ultra distance competitions in open water, her's is another story of families restored, and I'm Juiced to see where her journey goes from here. One thing I'm real...

My dear friend Jesse brought his guitar, played some songs, and told his story to date. Jesse has held a special place in my heart from our first meeting some four years ago, and although his path is not necessarily one I would suggest, he is on fire today - as we say "it takes what it takes". Jesse has helped to produce the music you hear around the recent podcasts, he's a heck of a musician hims...

Someone very special to me told her story today, full disclosure: Robin and I are a couple and I was somewhat apprehensive about hearing her story at first but at the same time super interested. I am honored that she allowed me this opportunity to participate in my recovery by sharing her story to the Spiritual Underground Podcast listeners.  I simply can't imagine being more "equally yoked"...

Tony dropped by on a Sunday afternoon to share his experience, strength and hope. This is the very first time Tony has talked publicly and you are going to experience the emotional journey that brought him to this current state of recovered, both in mind and in body.

 Branden, the original "Juiceman", paid a second visit to the podcast to pick up where he left off at the magical 1 year mark, it's a story of families reconnecting, as happens so often on the Recovery path.  

Christopher Cone, the author of "Twelve Step Spiritual Recovery, How to Reclaim Your Original Self/Soul" was in the studio this morning to share some juice and discuss the release of the book. We talked about how the book idea started, what the movement is all about, and the path forward. Shane made a guest appearance to share his experience to date and we plain ole had a general Juicefest as we g...

The Twelve Steps caught him just in the “Nickoftime”!! You have heard him on all the round table discussions, he's a founding member of the podcast and today Nick sat down at the table to tell his story of recovery. Also, some exciting news is afoot, the discussions turned to the upcoming release of a ground breaking book, “Twelve Step Spiritual Recovery, How to Reclaim Your Original Self/Soul” by...

Nick, Shane, Jesse, and Erikk blasted into the studio with loads of Juice to share, the Bucket-O-Topics was broke out, topics ranged from Spreading the Joy in Recovery, to Letting Folks Know the Real Me, to what the Years Ahead Might Bring, plus a discussion on Step 6.

Branden, the original "Juiceman", paid a visit to the podcast, among other things, he tells the origin of the word "Juice", a word that has become a Spiritual Underground legend. His story covered up to his first year of recovery, so expect a part 2 soon.

The Podcast traveled down to Cape Coral Florida and added Sherri's story to the library, Sherri is originally from Virginia and now calls Florida home - her story is one of ups and downs until she made the decision to fully concede - Service is instrumental in her life and carrying the message to the prison is the next mission in her journey.

Erikk came to the studio at DTM Enterprises to chat for a while. This is not to take away from any previous guests at any level, mostly just getting more comfortable typing here - Erikk is a guy I could sit and listen to for hours - expect to hear more from him in the future.
