Ed Bisch - Grieving Dad
Kicking Butt and Taking Names
Ed Bisch a Grieving Father Takes on Big Pharma
Ed Bisch’s son, Eddie, died of an overdose of Oxycontin in 2001. Ed didn’t sit by and take it. His initial answer when told of his son’s death was “What the Hell is Oxycontin"?

Ed started researching Oxycontin and it’s manufacturer – Purdue Pharma; AND the family behind it – The Sacklers. Ed has been fighting this Purdue battle for years and doesn’t see giving up until both the company and the family are made to take responsibility for the countless deaths due to Oxycontin addiction and overdose.

Ed is a champion and a fighter. He is also the first interview on the MSNBC special – “The Forgotten Epidemic”.

Understanding Homelessness
Treating People like People

Have you ever wondered about how people became homeless, why they don't just get a place to live, a job and stop lounging around the streets? Let's take away the "PC" and just have a frank and open conversation. This workshop is based around sharing the unique perspectives and experiences of those who have been deemed homeless at some point in their journey and will give you the ability to have a greater understanding of the issues and, if you choose to, how you can support people.

March 3rd 10:00am - 12:00pm CST
$45.00 plus gst/hst
ONLINE on Zoom

💫 Are You Fearful of Being Happy?

 

What would happen if you stopped carrying the weight of the guilt and shame of your past?

Would you feel happier, self-sabotage less? Would you allow yourself to be joyful with no expectations?

For those who have experienced betrayal, there’s an understanding of what it means to have your joy taken from you in a split second.

When you allow yourself to feel joy, the aftereffects of these events create a foreboding sense of unease, irritation, unworthiness, and anger out of fear the other shoe is going to drop or something bad may happen.

​Listen to this week's Recovery Coaching call.​

💬 Shannon's Story

Born into an alcoholic household, Shannon lost her Dad at a young age and her Mother told her that she was her reason for drinking.

Later, facing numerous traumatic incidents, Shannon turned to drinking and using substances. After being invited by a friend to a 12-step meeting, Shannon found solace in others who had walked similar paths as hers.

​Listen to Shannon's Story now.​

🎙️Sober as F*** with Sarah Ordo

Author Sarah Ordo says she was "your typical party girl" starting from the time she was about fourteen years old. For years her entire life was centered around drinking, which also was frequently accompanied by blackouts.

Even after a near-fatal overdose, Sarah struggled to leave her old life behind.

​Listen to this Podcast on your favorite streaming service.​

✅ Coming to Believe

The pains of this world, broken relationships, and navigating life can be overwhelming - even when we're sober.

Imagine your life with more purpose and deeper meaning all because you took time to get to know a Higher Power, and yourself. What would that feel like?

​Check out our 7 Days to a More Spiritual Life course.​
