#9: This week on Rise Recover Live, Liz and Bryce The Third team up for a candid and thought-provoking episode about navigating life’s seasons, embracing intentional living, and mastering the art of giving yourself grace.

Liz opens up about her journey of breaking free from society’s timelines. After years of struggling with the pressure to hit certain milestones, she’s entered a new chapter in her 40s where she’s discovered the freedom of trusting her own path in recovery.

Bryce shares how recovery redefined his view of time and growth. Over the past decade, he’s learned to turn life’s mistakes into powerful lessons, embracing the idea that every experience—good or bad—is a chance to grow.

This is more than just a conversation—it’s an invitation to reflect, live fully, and let go of the “shoulds” that hold you back. Tune in and then join the conversation in the Phoenix Mobile App’s Podcast Space to share what resonates most with you!

#8: Josh Lovelace (he/him) is a proud work in progress: whether it’s quitting drinking to be more present for his kids, quelling panic attacks before stepping on stage, or just figuring out what he believes after a childhood of being told that there’s only one way to pray. Through all this turmoil, he’s had his touchstones, his shelters: loved ones, friends, and, of course, music.

Born and raised in Knoxville, Tennessee, Josh — who also plays keys and sings in South Carolina rock band NEEDTOBREATHE — grew up making music. He discovered early on in life that writing music was his escape, his therapy, and also his best friend -- the thing that has always been there when he needs it.

Check out the episode with Josh to learn more about his journey with sobriety, his relationship with music & touring, and more!

#7: Stephen McCorry is recovery coach, author, father of two sons, and person in recovery from Lansing, Michigan. Recently while on the phone chatting with a friend in his car, something clicked in Stephen's mind. What he affectionately calls a 'moment of lucidity,' Stephen had the realization and appreciation of how far he had come in his life. It was an epiphany that he had the ability to meaningfully contribute to a conversation and speak life to folks that need it. Six years ago, this was not the case.

Check out the conversation to hear Stephen's story of active addiction and journey to find recovery, and learn what changed in the six years that now allows him to show up with intention everyday. We discuss this and more, including:

• His journey with faith in prison and when he was "the lowest he will ever be."
• Stephen's realization that the only way he would be happy is by doing the things he is supposed to do, not the things he wants to do.
• How fatherhood has shaped his life's purpose and taught him the importance of being a good teacher and encourager.
