A Glimmer of Hope ft. Hollywood Stunt-Double Kimberly Shannon Murphy | Rooted Recovery Stories #147
On this week’s episode of Rooted Recovery Stories, Patrick sits down with Hollywood’s go-to stunt woman, Kimberly Shannon Murphy. As an award-winning stuntwoman, she was intimate with pain. For years, she propelled her body through dangerous spaces—medicating the trauma of her childhood sexual abuse with the adrenaline rush that came from pushing herself to the absolute limit. But as Kimberly learned, no matter how much you suppress your past, it always catches up with you.
In her new book, Glimmer, Kimberly details her remarkable journey to the top of her field as a Hollywood stuntwoman for many A-list celebrities, including Cameron Diaz, Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie, Taylor Swift, and Sandra Bullock, while carrying the pain of her childhood of sexual abuse in a family that refused to acknowledge its reality. In her beautifully written, unflinchingly honest memoir, Kimberly reflects on her past and present, chronicling her path to recovery and calculating the long shadow of trauma.
Her story of surviving abuse and her journey to healing herself is both jarring and profound, and her strength is second to no one. She is a gift who anyone needs a reminder that true healing is possible, and that your relationship with your inner child is critical to that recovery process. She has learned to protect herself at all costs, and lets the viewer know that there is light on the other side of the darkness.
About Kimberly Shannon Murphy:
Kimberly Shannon Murphy is Hollywood’s go to Stunt Double for Premier Silver Screen actresses. Her resume is loaded with top box office films such as The Lone Ranger, Oblivion, Jack Reacher, Hunger Games, Savages, Men in Black 3, Knight and Day and the list goes on.
About her book
Glimmer: A Story of Survival, Hope, and Healing
Glimmer is the story of one woman’s quest to reclaim her life and to shine a spotlight on the dark topic of intergenerational familial abuse. As Kimberly reveals, being strong isn’t about getting your black belt, leaping out of four-story buildings, or putting 200-pound stuntmen in chokeholds—it’s about waking up every single morning and choosing to love yourself, no matter your history.
A heroic and hopeful story of stolen innocence, pain, courage, and survival, Glimmer is an emotional roadmap for others who have suffered abuse and childhood trauma, offering them hope, healing, and inspiration.
Reviews
'This book is so much more than the sum of its parts. It is a gift. It is Kimberly's offering to readers suffering in silence. It is a companion for anyone who has endured trauma, at any level. And it is a beautiful tribute to the strength and power of the human spirit.' — Cameron Diaz
“An intimate and vulnerable portrait of the long-term impacts of our most painful childhood experiences, Glimmer is a beautifully written and empowering story of resilience that offers a glimmer of hope for all survivors of childhood abuse and trauma.” — Nicole LePera, Ph.D., author of the number one New York Times bestseller How to Do the Work

On this week’s episode of Rooted Recovery Stories, Patrick Custer is joined by World Famous, Big Time Rush Star, James Maslow. In addition to his role in "Big Time Rush," James Maslow has actively pursued a solo music career, showcasing his versatility as a singer, songwriter, and actor through other projects such as “Never Let You Down” - Cimorelli and “Stars Fell on Alabama”.

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)
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.

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.

Growing up, he dealt with a fear of God that came with the strict confines of Catholic school. During his time in community college, Mike resorted to unhealthy coping mechanisms, primarily alcohol. At 21, he moved out to LA where he started drinking both before and during his performances. After attending his first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, Mike identified as an alcoholic and made a life-changing commitment to sobriety. Join us as Mike candidly shares his inspiring journey of transformation and recovery, shedding light on the trials and triumphs of sobriety. We would love to hear from you!

Matt was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder but does not label themselves with those terms. Matt works to challenge the biological and medical model in mental health, speaking on topics about the monetization and the medical model seeking to blame individuals for their own diagnoses. Instead of labeling themselves as mentally ill. They travel the world as a consultant to The World Health Organization educating others on the overmedicalization of the LGBTQIA+ community and the need for social justice reform to address this issue. Matt identifies as mad, a powerful label and movement that represents empowerment and self-liberty to diagnosed individuals. We would love to hear from you!

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. With his meticulous eye to detail and naturalism in aesthetics, Josh’s work soon began to be recognized on social media outlets, being voted in the Top 100 Injectors in the United States in 2018 through 2022, appointed to the Merz Aesthetics Advisory Board in 2019, and a Independent Consultant for Prollenium, and a KOL for Cartessa. Better known as Tox Josh, he has quickly become a social media icon in the field of aesthetics, performing Instagram takeovers for major industry companies, has motivated audiences for aesthetic professional organizations around the world, and has helped create Social Media Network Groups with some of the top social media influencers in the industry.

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! Email us at ROOTED@PROMISES.COM _________ Resources: . Insta: www.instagram.com/mentalhealthamerica URL: www.mhanational.org .

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

Country music has a rare force to be reckoned with and her name is Brooke Eden! Watch this episode to find out the full story and passion behind her latest EP, Choosing You! We are so excited to celebrate everything that brings meaning, impact, and uniqueness to PRIDE month with Brooke and you will be too!
Heralded by Billboard as a ‘fiery country star-in-the-making,” Eden has used her personal journey to self-acceptance to create bold and passionate music with the message that it is okay to be who you are. She has punctuated this message to show how music can enable our authentic voice, give us purpose, connect us to each other, and give us strength and courage to navigate life’s challenges. In 2021, Brooke came out and publicly embraced who she is as an LGBTQ+ artist and she continues to use her platform to bring about positive change in our world!
Since making her debut, Eden has shared stages with Country’s biggest stars including Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, Kane Brown and Keith Urban. Most recently, she made her ACM Awards performance debut, joining Parmalee and Blanco Brown for their platinum multinational No. 1 smash hit “Just the Way.”

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 106 | Savannah Chrisley
We are launching National Mental Health Awareness Month with reality TV star, makeup guru, and social media influencer, Savannah Chrisley. She self admittedly opens up in this interview more than ever before about her journey confronting her mental health and many of the obstacles she’s overcome. Healing is not a one-stop shop: It is a continuous process that requires us to be active participants. While each person’s story is unique, the thread of hope and healing is one that we can all cling to through the art of storytelling! We encourage you to join this conversation of transformation with an open heart!

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
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.

Episode 103 | Amy Brown
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.
