Podcast Description – Ep 5: "You're Doing Great"

Welcome back to Sobriety, Now What?, the podcast that helps you not just stay sober, but truly thrive in your journey. In this episode, Stuart dives into the power of perspective and how shifting your mindset can turn an ordinary—or even frustrating—day into something great.

Through personal (and hilariously embarrassing) stories, Stuart reminds us that what we focus on grows. From a bird-poop-covered car to an unforgettable public speaking mishap, he proves that even the most awkward moments can be transformed into laughter, lessons, and positivity.

You'll discover:
✅ Why perspective is everything in shaping your day
✅ How to focus on what’s going right instead of what’s going wrong
✅ A simple question to reframe negative thoughts: Are the thoughts I'm thinking serving me?
✅ The power of persistence in seeing miracles unfold

No matter where you are in your journey, you're doing better than you think. So take a deep breath, embrace the good, and make today great—on purpose.

🎧 Listen now and remember: If your zipper is up and birds haven’t targeted you yet, you’re already winning!

Joining me is a very special guest — my sister, Francesca Donlan, a two-time Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist who created the first kindness class at Florida Gulf Coast University. Francesca’s groundbreaking work has helped countless students boost their confidence, self-esteem, and connection to their communities.

Whether it’s learning to be kind to yourself, offering a smile to a stranger, or spreading joy with sticky notes, Francesca shares inspiring stories and actionable strategies to help you heal, grow, and thrive.

This episode will leave you feeling uplifted, empowered, and ready to make kindness a daily habit. Tune in to discover how kindness can improve your relationships, your community, and most importantly, your own journey in sobriety. 🌟
