In this episode of The Speaker Meeting, Chibbi sits down with Nigel Williams for a conversation that’s honest, insightful, and rich with emotional clarity. Nigel reflects on his early encounters with substances, the false comfort of addiction, and the grief that cracked open his journey toward change. Together, they talk about what it means to do the work in recovery, the realities of rehab romance, and how we can measure who we are by how we choose to show up—day after day.

🌓 This episode was guided by the energy of The Moon—a tarot card about uncertainty, vulnerability, and the courage to walk forward even when the path isn’t clear.

In this episode of The Speaker Meeting, Andy D. joins Chibbi for an unflinching conversation about the long and winding road of recovery—from childhood trauma and toxic masculinity to treatment, relapse, and radical self-acceptance. Andy shares how strength isn’t about toughness, but the quiet resilience to admit you need help, ask for it, and stay willing. They talk about the Strength tarot card, the spiritual detachment of early recovery, and what it means to walk away from a program when it no longer serves you—all without losing the lessons it gave.
