"God's Not Done With Me Yet" (feat. Zach Livingston) | Rooted Recovery Stories Ep. 140

"God's Not Done With Me Yet" (feat. Zach Livingston) | Rooted Recovery Stories Ep. 140

On this newest episode of Rooted Recovery, Patrick Custer sits down to talk with Intervention host, Zach Livingston. Before Zach was on TV, he talks about the long path it took before being able to help other people. Zach opens up about all parts of his journey to recovery including, getting addicted at a young age, fighting fires, flatlining, and relapsing; which all led him to where he is now. He also places importance on the people who were able to help him recover, which has allowed him to use his recovery in order to help others heal.

Zach Livingston is a case manager and an addiction interventionist, who uses the lessons and knowledge obtained from his own battle with addiction and help from others, in order to aid those struggling with their own addiction.

Patrick and Zach take a dive into the rationalization mindset of relapsing. They go on to talk about pulling yourself out of the relapsing mindset, and their own similarities in their journeys in turning their life around in order to help others change their lives for the better.

Catalyst To The Beast (Feat. Daniel Sugden) | Rooted Recovery Stories Ep. 135

Catalyst To The Beast (Feat. Daniel Sugden) | Rooted Recovery Stories Ep. 135

On this week’s episode of Rooted Recovery Stories, Patrick Custer is joined by the HomeReno expert and social media mogul, Daniel "Handy Dan" Sugden. And let us just say, it is FAR from boring. The two cover deep topics, including Daniel’s growing up without his dad and the impact it had on his development and decisions. He explains his prior need for attention and the detrimental effect of having friends who care about you for the wrong reasons. As many of us know, the root of addiction stems from a need to belong. Daniel talks about the fact that addiction is a “progressive disease,” and how out of all the people in his life, his accountant led him to be “sober curious.” Patrick and Daniel share their experiences and what ultimately led to overhauling their lives and redesigning them.

They touch on EMDR, meditation, and visualization as vital tools to maintain sobriety and to continue to grow into the best, most authentic version of yourself.

Also, guys… We have GOT to talk about your spending on skincare. It’s getting out of control :)

Life’s Highest Highs & Lowest Lows (feat. Shaylen) | Rooted Recovery Stories Ep. 132

Life’s Highest Highs & Lowest Lows (feat. Shaylen) | Rooted Recovery Stories Ep. 132

Artist and songwriter, Shaylen, joins this week’s episode of Rooted Recovery Stories to discuss her journey in the music business as a child star facing the pressures of body image and living with an eating disorder. She has now been able to grow into her own as a solo artist after years of hard work.


Shaylen realized her love for music at a young age when performing at church. She went on to be a part of the pop group, Savvy, which traveled around the world and was even featured in the TV show, The Wannabes Starring Savvy. After some time, the group was suddenly shelved and dropped from their label which led to them moving to LA in an attempt to keep everything going. When the rest of the group decided to pursue their own goals, Shaylen remained in LA working odd jobs while honing her songwriting skills and building industry connections. Now Shaylen has learned how to handle the highest highs and lowest lows of life as not only an artist, but as a person with her own traumas and struggles. Patrick and Shaylen will dive into her story and how she has overcome life’s obstacles to reach her goals and pursue her purpose, music.

Being Gay in Baseball and Country Music with Bryan Ruby | Rooted Recovery Stories Ep. 131

On this episode of Rooted Recovery Stories, Patrick sits with pro baseball player turned country singer-songwriter Bryan Ruby. Bryan was the first professional baseball player to come out as gay, and he shares his journey from living a “double life” to being proud of who he is. After transitioning to a career in country music, Bryan founded the non-profit Proud to Be in Baseball, which aims to encourage the next generation of queer baseball players.


Patrick and Bryan discuss the process of finding yourself and your path in life in an environment where you are discouraged from being yourself. Having recently released his debut EP Diamonds are Forever, Bryan shares his love for country music, and wanting to be the representation he never had as a kid.

Faith, Sobriety & Country Music w/ Walker Hayes | Rooted Recovery Stories #129 (ft. Brad Schmitt)

Faith, Sobriety & Country Music w/ Walker Hayes | Rooted Recovery Stories #129 (ft. Brad Schmitt)

In this week’s episode of Rooted Recovery Stories, we're very excited to welcome our guest, Walker Hayes, a father, husband, and country music star, shares his story in conversation with Patrick Custer and co-host Brad Schmitt. Brad, who is entering over a decade of sobriety, is a writer for The Tennessean and has called Nashville home for many years. Patrick, Brad, and Walker dive into the daily realities of addiction and sobriety and discuss their views on human nature, faith, and spirituality.


Walker is the youngest of nine children, so he did not have the typical busy home life since many of his siblings were already out on their own. His early identity was found through sports, but he discovered early on that he also loved music despite it not being the “cool” thing to do at school. Walker’s alcohol use began as a way to have fun with older friends, relieve anxiety, and gain confidence when talking to girls, but later in life, his addiction reached a turning point one day when he realized the negative effects his body was facing. While developing his faith in God, Walker began winning the everyday battle that fighting addiction brings while learning how to be present with his family and music career without the use of substances.

Fame Addiction & Patrick’s WIFE?! | Rooted Recovery Stories ft. Braunwyn & Jennifer Windham-Spinner #130

Ever wonder whether reality TV is as glamorous behind the scenes as it appears on the screen? Join Patrick Custer and his guests Braunwyn Windham and Jennifer Spinner as they uncover the reality behind reality TV! Patrick, Braunwyn, and Jenn talk about the weird fan interactions they’ve had, what it’s like dating a recovering addict, finding pleasure in simplicity, and fighting the stigma of struggling with addiction.

If you think Braunwyn looks familiar, there’s a good chance you’ve seen her in one of our past Rooted Recovery episodes! There’s an even better chance that you’ve seen the mother of 7, activist & recovery advocate as a former actress on @bravo 's The Real Housewives of Orange County. On this episode of Rooted Recovery Stories, Braunwyn is joined by her partner Jenn who grew up in a family that doesn’t shy away from talking about addiction but instead celebrates overcoming obstacles and taking ownership of trauma.

Purpose, Structure and Life After Laguna Beach (feat. Jason Wahler) | Rooted Recovery Stories #127

Purpose, Structure and Life After Laguna Beach (feat. Jason Wahler) | Rooted Recovery Stories #127

TV personality, husband, and board member of the Red Songbird Foundation, Jason Wahler, joins this week’s episode of "Rooted in Recovery" to share his journey from addict and reality TV star to sobriety and mental health advocacy. Jason Wahler, a native of Laguna Beach, CA, began his addiction journey during his teenage years, which led him to abandon his dream of becoming a baseball player. In his early adulthood, MTV started shooting “Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County,” which not only fueled his ego but also intensified his alcohol and drug abuse. After a traumatic experience, Wahler embarked on the rocky road to sobriety in 2010. After a relapse in 2015, Wahler knew he had to surrender to recovery for himself and his family. Wahler helps others on their road to recovery through the Red Songbird Foundation, founded by Hilary Roberts, and maintains his grounded presence in his new home base of Nashville, TN.

"The Bank Teller Saved My Life" with Zac Clark | Rooted Recovery Stories #126

Business owner, Bachelorette contestant and avid Philly sports fan, Zac Clark, is joining this week’s episode of Rooted Recovery Stories to share his road to sobriety. His story goes from a charmed childhood and high school keg parties in the woods, to intense college parties and attempts to hide addiction while maintaining a marriage. Zac Clark’s addiction journey began as a teenager trying to have fun and party with friends, but initially, Zac felt that there was no problem that needed to be addressed. Later, the discovery, removal, and pain medicines received after a brain tumor added new elements to his addiction. His addiction eventually grew to the point where family intervened to convince him to seek treatment. Relapsing after one round of treatment and attempting to steal from his father, led to another round of treatment that would get him on a permanent path to recovery. Zac now aids others on their road to recovery through his business Release Recovery, and he tries to keep himself in touch with the world outside of addiction by traveling to Philadelphia from New York City to attend 76ers and Eagles games.

Aesthetics Tips & Near-Death Experiences (ft. Tox Josh) | Rooted Recovery Stories Ep. 121

Aesthetics Tips & Near-Death Experiences (ft. Tox Josh) | Rooted Recovery Stories Ep. 121

This week, Tox Josh joins Rooted Recovery Stories with Patrick Custer to discuss Josh's rise in the aesthetics industry, struggle with a near-death experience, the inner and outer battle with body dysmorphia and the tremendously difficult task of trying to overcome shame. Joshua Davis, BSN, RN, is the founder and creative master-mind behind ToxJosh Studios. Josh’s vision for ToxJosh studios started when he saw the need for a creative outlet for aesthetic providers who are passionate about holistic transformations. The TJS team is dedicated to helping patients discover the best version of themselves - inside and out. In the aesthetics or beauty industry, it is easy to get derailed by unrealistic expectations created by the images we are constantly bombarded with on television, social media, etc. I wanted to create a place where people could come and feel safe to discover the best version of themselves. I strongly believe there has to be an inner transformation that comes with any aesthetic work - at the end of the day, I want to help each of my patients be able to look in the mirror and truly LOVE who they see looking back. Joshua Davis, BSN, RN, received his Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Belmont University, and Bachelor of Musical Arts from Vanderbilt University. Joshua started his nursing career in Trauma ICU & Multi-Specialty Critical Care and transitioned into Aesthetics & Management in 2012.

The Trauma's Gotta Go Somewhere ft. Country Music's Frank Ray | Rooted Recovery Stories 120

The Trauma's Gotta Go Somewhere ft. Country Music's Frank Ray | Rooted Recovery Stories 120

Country Music artist Frank Ray joins Rooted Recovery Stories with Patrick Custer this week to discuss his improbable and tumultuous path into the country music scene, the intense trauma and moral complexities he encountered as a police officer of over 10 years, fulfilling childhood dreams and the release of his major debut album. Frank Ray is a former police officer, Texas chart-topper, and bilingual recording artist opening doors for a modern Latino Country movement. Growing up both enriched in his Mexican culture, three miles from the border in New Mexico and surrounded by Country music in Texas, Frank was immersed in the best of both worlds and has been harmonizing the two since. Described as “easygoing contemporary Country with pop-soul hooks and a dash of Southwestern spice” (Rolling Stone) Frank’s music is a blend-drawing influences from ’90s Texas Country, Latin, R&B and Pop. As an entertainer, Frank delivers engaging, high-energy performances that have a little something for everyone. It’s with this cross-cultural appeal and his panorama of influences that the Los Angeles Times proclaims Ray “is looking to stretch Country music’s cultural boundaries.” In the three short years since embarking on his musical journey full-time, he has racked up two No. 1 singles and three Top ten singles on Texas Country Radio, become a staff songwriter, landed Frank Rogers as his producer, signed a record deal with BBR Music Group/Stoney Creek Records and much more. In addition to being named an “Artist to Watch” by Rolling Stone, Ray has appeared on USA Network’s Real Country, been profiled in the Los Angeles Times and on NBC’s TODAY. He has also toured the nation and shared stages in support of artists like Luke Combs, Kane Brown, Brett Eldredge, Luke Bryan, Kip Moore, LANCO, Old Dominion, Hunter Hayes, and more. Frank Ray's EP "Getcha Some" is out now! We would love to hear from you!

"Hard-Wired For Belonging" (feat. Ruthie Lindsey) | Rooted Recovery Stories Podcast Ep. 118

"Hard-Wired For Belonging" (feat. Ruthie Lindsey) | Rooted Recovery Stories Podcast Ep. 118

Join host Patrick Custer in this inspiring episode as he sits down with the incredible author, speaker, and coach, Ruthie Lindsey. Ruthie shares her journey of discovering that belonging is not about performance or perfectionism, and how childhood messages shaped her perspective. Her story takes a miraculous turn when she survives a near-fatal accident, leading her to a path of numbing pain with medication and escapism. However, a voice inside her drives her to seek something more, uncovering a life-altering revelation. This heartwarming butterfly story will inspire you to embrace your authenticity and realize that we are all hardwired for belonging. Tune in for a transformative conversation with Ruthie Lindsey!

About Ruthie:
Ruthie Lindsey is the author of the memoir There I Am, The Journey From Hopelessness To Healing, speaker and a midwife of souls, helping people feel endeared to their own life, body and soul.

Ruthie shares a remarkable story of surviving an accident as a teenager where she had a five percent chance to live and a one percent chance to walk, and the surgery that simultaneously saved and destroyed her body. As a young woman, chronic pain slowly pulled Ruthie away from everything she once held dear: her marriage, her faith, her family, her body, her very self. But her message is one of strength and resilience, the faith she lost and rebuilt in herself, and the power of sharing our stories.

Ruthie helps audiences remember the healing that is inside of all of us. And how to fall in love with every part of ourselves. To see the invitation of pain and to remember all that is so right with us, not what’s wrong with us. She has spoken alongside renowned activists and writers such as Brené Brown, Glennon Doyle and Luvvie Ajayi.

From Darkness to Light: Chadd Bryant's Journey of Healing and Hope | Rooted Recovery Stories Ep. 113

From Darkness to Light: Chadd Bryant's Journey of Healing and Hope | Rooted Recovery Stories Ep. 113

You may have seen Chadd Bryant selling luxury homes in Nashville or you may have seen him cracking jokes on reality TV with Savannah Chrisley and her family.


In today's candid conversation, Chadd sheds light on the importance of breaking the cycle of trauma and the power of sharing one's story. By speaking out, he hopes to empower others who may be silently suffering, encouraging them to seek help and find solace in knowing they are not alone.

 

Chadd grew up in the tiny town of Curtis Station, Mississippi, which he said has a population of 50 people, and jokes that 25 of those people are members of his family. Family is a huge priority in Chadd’s life, often sharing pictures of his nieces and nephews, as well as his parents.


Chadd came out to his family and friends as gay at the age of 17. Today, he opens up about his childhood/generational trauma and how those experiences led him down a dark path of secrecy, isolation and pain


However, through years of therapy and a relentless commitment to self-improvement, Chad has emerged from the shadows and is thriving. His resilience and determination have allowed him to finally start to heal and find hope.

 

Chadd's message is full of practical advice, hilarious stories and a message of hope. This episode serves as a reminder that healing is possible, and that by addressing our trauma, we can reclaim our lives and help others do the same.

 

For 15 years, Chadd has been one of Nashville's most sought-after celebrity stylists and has been a luxury home realtor in the city since 2020. He works for Haven Hair Co alongside his job at Benchmark Realty LLC . A master stylist, Chadd has trained under some of the most distinguished stylists, from New York to San Francisco.

Nikki Leonti Tells Her Story & Sings Like An Angel | Rooted Recovery Stories Podcast Ep. 108

Nikki Leonti Tells Her Story & Sings Like An Angel | Rooted Recovery Stories Podcast Ep. 108

What if you were placed on a platform and told from a young age that your value in this world and the eternal is based on performance: That a rigid, black-and-white system of rules within your spiritual community must be followed because you are an example who could or would cause others to fall from grace if you didn’t meet expectations of spiritual greatness and perfection? We continue celebrating Mental Health Awareness Month by highlighting the stories of brave and relentless survivors of mental health and trauma struggles! 

In this episode, we talk to vocal phenom, music industry icon, wife, and mother of 3, Nikki Leonti, about how the intersectionality of her personal life, societal pressures, and stigma took over her career in the Christian music industry. 

She shares her inspirational story of being dropped from her record label after becoming pregnant as a teenager, overcoming extreme judgment, abusive relationships, and custody battles. She has shared her talent on Ellen, Jay Leno, and America's Got Talent. She's saved her daughter from SIDS. She's taken her struggles and used them to inspire. Her message will make you feel like you can do anything.  We love her and you will too!!

Episode 107 | Patrick Custer: My Black & White Existence - Lifting The Veil of Addiction

Why are we doing this and am I good enough to be here doing what I’m doing? The answer is yes. Not only are you and I supposed to be here, we are supposed to be the ones experiencing it because our experience is valuable! If we share our story, we are quite likely the one who will change someone’s mind about this particular experience and the possibilities for change that exist! Other people may be terrified to lean into it. When you or I have experienced the struggle and found healing, we become the right person to send the message to others. I am best qualified to help heal the person or people I once was! _____________ Resources: National Help Line Phone: 988 (new nationwide short-code) URL: www.988lifeline.org _____________ Promises Behavioral Health - Help for addiction, mental health/trauma: Call: (888) 648-4098 URL: www.promisesbehavioralhealth.com Insta: @promises_bh _____________

Episode 105 | Tim Lodgen

Episode 105 | Tim Lodgen

Tim Lodgen grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, where he signed a skateboard contract that had him riding with Bucky Lasek and Brandon Novak. Playing sports kept him away from drugs and alcohol until he enlisted in the Marine Corps as a Senior in High School. He thought he'd let off some steam before he had to enter the highly regimented life of a soldier, and during that time, he did every drug he could get his hands on. Soon he was deployed to Somalia, where massive amounts of alcohol took the place of the drugs. When he finally returned home, he was happy to be out of the military but quickly fell into a deep depression that had him sitting with a gun in his lap and thinking about suicide. He finally admitted his depression and was diagnosed with Bi-Polar disorder. Still, without ever admitting to his drug and alcohol use, he spent the next 20 years with incorrect doses that did little for his mental health.


Tim then began a career as an MMA fighter. An eventual injury led him to introduce opiates into his use, which sent his addiction to another level and caused a second suicide attempt. He finally found help 27 years into his addiction after his wife discovered him preparing to take his own life. He has since become the healthiest version of himself, even coming in 3rd place in a Muscle and Fitness bodybuilding contest. Tim now uses his platform to help others by telling his story, working with the homeless, and offering addiction and health advice through his Instagram account.

Episode 104 | Beck Gee

Episode 104 | Beck Gee

We are celebrating and recognizing Transgender Day of Visibility with a deep and meaningful conversation with Beck Gee. Beck is a master’s level clinician with an undergraduate degree in Sociology with an emphasis on Gender & Sexuality and a master’s degree in Addiction Counseling. Beck has worked in the mental health and substance use field for over 10 years in various capacities. The main focus of his work has been invested in the LGBTQI+ community, adolescents, and families. Over this decade, Beck has trained numerous facilities on LGBTQI+ best practices, has been a keynote and presenter at many conferences and has facilitated workshops about LGBTQI+, trauma, adolescents, gender and sexuality.

 

Beck grew up outside of Los Angeles and has lived in many states across the U.S. He got sober July 11, 2005, and believes recovery is the foundation of his success and gave him the ability to live authentically. Beck’s superpower is using his platform to speak out about issues of social justice.


International Transgender Day of Visibility (often referred to as TDOV or Trans Day of Visibility) is an annual event dedicated to celebrating transgender people and raising awareness of discrimination faced by transgender people worldwide, as well as a celebration of their contributions to society. The event began in 2009 as a reaction to the lack of LGBTQ+ recognition of transgender people, citing the frustration that the only well-known transgender-centered day was the Transgender Day of Remembrance, which mourned the murders of transgender people but did not acknowledge and celebrate living members of the transgender community. The first International Transgender Day of Visibility was held on March 31, 2009.

We are kicking off National Eating Disorders Awareness (NEDA) week, talking to Amy Brown from the Bobby Bones Show about her journey of healing from disordered eating, trauma, and the tools she used to survive, overcome, and what is helping her to thrive in life now!

For many of us, mental health, process and/or chemical addictions are lifelong struggles. However, through willingness, surrender, and action, we find pathways to live a life of freedom and joy: This is Amy’s transformative story of how.

Episode 100 | Cheryl Burke

We are celebrating this 100th milestone episode with an extra special guest, Cheryl Burke. She is an American dancer and television host and is fondly revered by many for being a professional competitor on ABC's Dancing with the Stars (now streaming on Disney+). Not only was she the first female professional to win the show, but she was also the first professional to win twice, win twice consecutively, and has participated in 26 seasons! Among her most admirable qualities is how she uses her platform to educate, break stigma, and shine a light on the pathway to hope for those who may be struggling by speaking out about mental health, addiction, and recovery!

In this episode, Patrick has a candid and meaningful conversation with Cheryl about her family of origin, cultural dissonance, adulting as a child, the path to becoming a professional dancer, work ethic, perseverance, trauma, dealing with stardom/celebrity status at a young age, addiction, mental health struggles, recovery, and divorce.
