Stay Sharp" Strategy 🧠✨ Mahjong is NOT your average game night! 🎲

In Episode 600, and I are talking about why this game is the ultimate brain workout. Forget the "drinking game" vibes—Mahjong is all about strategy, patterns, and taking risks! I’d much rather have a cup of tea or a kombucha in my hand because you truly have to stay sharp to keep up with these tiles. 🍵

Whether you’re in recovery or just choosing to live life fully present, this game proves you can have a blast without the booze. It’s about the strategy, the skill, and the connection!

Families of addicts need more resources! Patti LaBelle is right, I know so many parents that have done everything and then some to help their loved ones…something has to change! Elizabeth Bizzy Chance

“Let me be blunt — I’ve been around this business long enough to know the difference between a bad twist of fate and a tragedy we all saw coming. What happened this past weekend? That was no accident.”

Patti LaBelle didn’t just speak; she held the room in the palm of her hand, her legendary voice trembling with a mix of sorrow and soul-deep frustration as she addressed the loss of her dear friends, Rob and Michele Reiner.

“Don’t you dare insult my intelligence by calling this ‘fate’ or trying to sugarcoat the truth. Rob and Michele were not safe in their own home. They walked through a fire that no mother or father should ever have to face. We all know the long, hard battle they fought right there alongside their son, Nick Reiner. Those parents gave every ounce of their spirit to save that child, but in the end, that love led to the most heartbreaking end imaginable.”

Ms. Patti’s words cut through the heavy silence like a high note shattering glass.

“I see how the media is dancing around the real talk. You want to talk about the struggle? You want to talk about addiction? You want to talk about the mental health of the one who survived? But tell me this: what about Rob and Michele’s pain? Who is going to cry for the people who poured their entire lives into healing a family, only to get this devastation in return?”

She lowered her voice, the power of the 'Godmother of Soul' condensing into a whisper that carried more weight than a scream.

“We can’t keep painting these tragedies as some kind of sympathetic story just because famous folks are involved. I’m not here to judge, honey, I’m here to protect the dignity of my friends. They deserve to be remembered as magnificent parents who loved until their very last breath — not just as victims of a sad story.”

“Tonight, I choose to stand in the light they brought into this world, not the darkness that took them out of it.”

"Do you like the lady?" 🕊️✨

Sometimes, beauty and faith transcend religion. Shawn and Tina of CB Jewelry share a beautiful story about the artisan they work with in India. Though he isn’t Catholic, his kindness and devotion to his craft are unmatched.

He doesn't use a machine; he hand-copied the Miraculous Medal to ensure she was "feminine enough, beautiful enough, and Mary enough." To him, she is simply "The Lady."

It’s a powerful reminder that when we put our heart into what we create, the spirit of the work speaks to everyone.

Hear the full story of how this jewelry comes to life in Episode 598! Link below. 👇

Before you seek legal intervention for a loved one, ask yourself this one question... 🧐

Are you ready to make the commitment? Legal advocate Mark Astor, Esq. joins me to discuss the reality of helping a loved one in crisis. It isn't a quick fix—it’s a journey that requires the "Three Pillars of Commitment":

1️⃣ Time: Real change takes about a year to truly stick. 2️⃣ Energy: It requires emotional and physical presence. 3️⃣ Money: It is an investment in a life.

As Mark mentions, recovery is a lifelong path. I’m proud to share my own journey of being in recovery for 20 years, and it all starts with that first, difficult step of commitment.

If you are considering legal intervention, listen to the full guide in Episode 596. Link https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/its-bizzy/id1208326332?i=1000739657209

What is the one thing we all need this Christmas? 🙏

I asked Shawn Sharrett and Tina Boyd of CB Jewelry for their ultimate holiday wish, and the answer was simple, profound, and deeply needed: The Peace of Christ.

It's easy to look at the turmoil, the hurt, and the pain—the unfair shares of loss, job instability, or broken hearts. But as Shawn shares, the true strength comes from watching others rest in the "joy that passes all understanding."

"That is what I would wish for absolutely everybody, no matter their circumstances—to feel the peace of God and the joy."

If you’re walking through a season of loss or unsettledness right now, this message is for you.
