In this episode of Life After Last Call, we are taking a break from the deep talks to get into Creative Mode. As a new Printful Insider Ambassador, I was tasked with a "Palentine’s Day" mission: create a unique, custom gift for my fellow ambassador, Joan.

Watch as I navigate the design process, fail miserably at drawing by hand, and ultimately create a "Cozy & Chaotic" All-Over Print Hoodie that mixes killer whales, black bears, and conversation hearts.

Welcome back to Life After Last Call. If you’ve been wondering where I’ve been for the last eight months… no, I didn’t drink. But I did almost everything else wrong.

In this Season 2 premiere, I’m pulling back the curtain on the wildest, darkest, and most chaotic hiatus of my life. From battling wildlife in my own home and fighting insurance companies over a cursed car, to a health scare that stopped me dead in my tracks—life hit hard.

We talk about the "shame spiral" of body dysmorphia, why I turned the cameras off, and the reality of entering survival mode in sobriety. But most importantly, I share the exact moment the lights came back on, and the one small, consistent habit that pulled me out of the hole.

Can a sippy cup really reveal the need for personal transformation? Join Eric and Rich as we share a humorous yet eye-opening tale of teaching a neighbor’s four-year-old a questionable party trick, only to realize how alcohol clouded our judgment. Through this candid reflection, we address the necessity of taking personal inventory to recognize and alter patterns in our lives that no longer serve us. Like cleaning out a cluttered closet, this process involves acknowledging past actions without guilt or shame, allowing us to build a foundation for personal growth and positive change.

In the journey towards self-improvement, we explore how small, consistent steps—like starting a workout routine with just 10 minutes a day—can lead to significant, lasting change. It's about honesty with oneself, identifying areas that need attention, and embracing the imperfections that make us human. We emphasize the power of asking the right questions and being patient as the answers unfold over time. By taking things one day at a time, we can remain committed to growth, recovery, and making amends for past mistakes. Join us for this transformative discussion that encourages self-reflection and dedication to ongoing personal development.
