    Ep. 115 - How to Make Sobriety Stick with Stephanie Hazard
    2026/07/14
    In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Stephanie Hazard—recovery coach, speaker, author, and advocate—for a deeply moving conversation about addiction, trauma, healing, and what it truly takes to build a recovery that lasts. With more than 26 years of sobriety, Stephanie has dedicated her life to helping individuals and families navigate recovery through compassion, curiosity, and sustainable change. Drawing from her own lived experience with childhood trauma, an eating disorder, alcohol use disorder, and decades of personal growth, she believes recovery isn't simply about abstaining from substances—it's about creating a life rooted in purpose, wellness, and self-worth. Together, Adam and Stephanie explore the connection between trauma and addiction, why shame loses its power when it's brought into the light, the importance of recovery coaching, and how healing extends far beyond sobriety itself. Stephanie also shares the inspiration behind her upcoming book, Making Sobriety Stick, and why sustainable recovery begins by asking not only what we're recovering from—but what we're recovering toward. Whether you're in recovery yourself, supporting someone you love, or searching for a deeper understanding of healing, this conversation offers hope, practical wisdom, and a reminder that our greatest struggles can become our greatest source of purpose. About Stephanie Hazard Stephanie Hazard is a Certified Professional Recovery Coach, Certified Peer Recovery Specialist, eating disorder recovery coach, speaker, and author of the upcoming book Making Sobriety Stick: A Recovery Coach's Guide to Sustainable Change. For more than two decades, Stephanie has helped individuals and families navigate recovery through personalized coaching rooted in trauma-informed care, compassion, and sustainable wellness.

With more than 25 years of experience helping people move better and live healthier lives, Dr. Kipp has built a career centered on one simple philosophy: if you give your body what it needs and remove what it doesn't, it has an incredible ability to heal.

After a life-changing injury in college altered his career path, Robert went on to build a thriving practice while navigating major personal and financial setbacks, including rebuilding his life following divorce and starting over multiple times in new cities. Throughout every chapter, he discovered that purpose isn't something you stumble upon—it's something you build through the decisions you make every day. Together, Adam and Robert explore the importance of self-care, happiness, relationships, entrepreneurship, work-life balance, and why taking decisive action is often the first step toward creating the life you truly want. Whether you're navigating a career transition, rebuilding after adversity, or simply looking for practical ways to improve your health and mindset, this conversation offers a refreshing reminder that growth begins with movement—both physically and mentally.

Known for his patient-centered, results-driven approach, Dr. Kipp helps individuals restore movement, reduce pain, and live healthier, more active lives. In addition to his chiropractic practice, he is an entrepreneur, real estate investor, operations manager for Vital Infusions, and co-founder of the upcoming Second Wind IV Therapy at Mohegan Sun—a wellness concept designed to help people recharge, recover, and perform at their best.

    Fashion, Confidence, and Authenticity with Alyson Iarrusso, Seth Stahlmann, and Tanya Meyers In this special edition of the Purpose Panels, Adam brings together three leaders in the fashion and style space for a conversation about confidence, self-expression, entrepreneurship, personal branding, and the deeper role fashion plays in helping us become who we're meant to be.

    In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Kelly Towart—content creator, former licensed therapist, foster and adoptive mother, and advocate for intentional family-centered living—for a deeply honest conversation about motherhood, identity, faith, anxiety, adoption, and learning to slow down enough to hear what truly matters. Known for her authentic approach to motherhood, family life, and storytelling online, Kelly has built a platform rooted in vulnerability, connection, and purpose. But long before social media partnerships and content creation, Kelly spent years working as a therapist—helping others navigate anxiety, identity, relationships, and emotional healing. Eventually, becoming a mother shifted everything. After experiencing difficult pregnancies and emotional burnout from balancing therapy with motherhood, Kelly made the difficult decision to walk away from counseling and fully embrace a new season of life centered around raising her children with intentionality and presence. What began as a creative outlet through fashion and blogging unexpectedly evolved into a thriving digital platform and career. The conversation also explores Kelly and her husband's foster and adoption journey, including the heartbreak of reunification, opening their home again after loss, and eventually adopting their son Quinn after he was safely surrendered as an infant. Through it all, Kelly shares a powerful perspective on brokenness, redemption, faith, and the belief that purpose is often revealed through love, sacrifice, and service to others. This episode is about slowing down, trusting God, embracing the unexpected, and understanding that some of the most meaningful versions of life are the ones we never originally planned for.

Through her platform, Kelly shares authentic glimpses into motherhood, parenting, adoption, travel, lifestyle, and everyday family life—creating content that resonates because of its honesty, warmth, and vulnerability. Before transitioning into content creation full time, Kelly worked professionally as a therapist, an experience that continues to shape how she approaches parenting, emotional wellness, and relationships today.

    Ep. 109 - How to Heal Your Identity and Start Over with Giovanny Ramirez
    2026/05/26
    In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Giovanny Ramirez—transformational coach, speaker, strategist, and founder of the Center for Human and Soul Enhancement—for a deeply reflective conversation on spirituality, identity, emotional healing, and what it truly means to align your life with purpose. Before stepping into the world of coaching and transformation, Giovanny built a successful career in finance and business leadership, rising quickly through the corporate world at a young age. But in the midst of outward success, everything eventually collapsed. After losing his career, relationship, health, and nearly his life following a violent assault, Giovanny found himself in a place of complete hopelessness—so disconnected from himself that he describes life losing its color entirely. What followed was not just recovery, but awakening. Through spirituality, emotional work, meditation, and a commitment to understanding the deeper meaning behind human experience, Giovanny began rebuilding his life from the inside out. Today, his work is centered on helping people reconnect with themselves, break through limiting beliefs, and understand that purpose is not something you chase—it's something you align with. This conversation explores emotional regulation, soul growth, identity, AI and the future of purpose, spirituality versus religion, self-worth, healing, and why joy may be one of the most important things we can pursue in this lifetime. This is a conversation about remembering who you truly are beneath the noise. What We Discuss Giovanny's early success in finance and business leadership Losing his career, relationship, health, and identity during the financial collapse Surviving a violent assault and reaching emotional rock bottomThe moment he contemplated ending his life and what changed everythingWhy shutting down emotions disconnects us from life itself Emotional regulation and learning to feel againThe relationship between fear, jealousy, and personal growth "Lifegasms" and intentionally pursuing joy-filled experiencesWhy your environment and tribe shape your energy Spirituality versus religion and finding your own connection to God Meditation, soul work, and near-death-like spiritual experiencesThe concept that "the journey is for the soul"AI, identity loss, and the future of human purposeWhy many people confuse their careers with who they are Self-worth, self-belief, and remembering your valueThe importance of taking action and "betting on yourself" Letting go of the stories and weights holding you backThe vision behind the Center for Human and Soul EnhancementWhy purpose often finds you before you fully understand it About Giovanny Ramirez Giovanny Ramirez is a transformational coach, speaker, strategist, and founder of the Center for Human and Soul Enhancement.
