Welcome back to The Brown Couch Show — the gnarliest, most real, addiction, recovery, and mental health podcast on the internet. In today’s episode, we’re diving into: what it really looks like when life throws you a curveball after you’ve gotten your shit together. I’m talking about those unexpected gut-punch moments that hit harder because you’re sober, aware, and actually trying to do the right thing. This was one of those moments for me.
SPOILER ALERT: I recently got laid off from a job I loved — a job that meant something to me, where I was making a real difference as a peer supporter in Columbus, Ohio. But instead of spiraling, I locked in, leaned into my coping tools, and did something I never would’ve done five years ago: I handled it like a fucking adult. And yeah… life had a surprise waiting for me on the other side of that.
In this episode, I’m breaking down:
My first major setback while sober
• How I navigated anxiety, uncertainty, and a panic attack during a job interview
• The mindset shift that saved my sanity
• Why resilience in recovery is the real flex
• And how the universe sometimes rewards you when you show the hell up
Oh, and one more thing: I’m transitioning into more audio-only episodes for now. Between the chaos of real life and all the feedback I’ve gotten, audio just makes more sense. Y’all told me you like to listen — so I’m giving the people what they want.
Let’s get into it.
