DOA

The UBERBAD Podcast

DOA & THRIVING

Divorce.  Obesity.  Addiction.  Real stories. Real recovery.

Not a therapist. Not a celebrity. Just a real person who hit rock bottom in three ways — and came back stronger. This podcast is for anyone struggling in different aspects of life, who needs to know they are not alone.

What Does DOA Mean?

DEAD ON
ARRIVAL

D

DIVORCE

When the life you built falls apart. The identity crisis, the loneliness, the starting over no one tells you about.

O

OBESITY

The relationship with your body when food becomes the coping mechanism. The shame, the struggle, the slow rebuild.

A

ADDICTION

The disease that takes everything. The daily battle of recovery. What 8+ years sober actually looks like from the inside.

"I didn't just hit rock bottom. I hit it in three different ways at different times of life."

Most people deal with one of these things in a lifetime. Divorce. Obesity. Addiction. I got all three. And I'm still here. This podcast exists because I know I'm not the only one.

DOA and Thriving is raw, unfiltered conversation about the things nobody wants to admit out loud — the shame, the failure, the knocked off your horse moments — and what happens after you decide to fight back.

Founder, UBERBAD · Host, DOA and Thriving

I'm not a therapist. I'm not a celebrity. I'm just someone who went through divorce, obesity, and alcoholism at the same time — and somehow came out the other side.

For 8+ years I've been sober, maintaining my fitness, and rebuilding my life one day at a time. I started UBERBAD and this podcast because I believe your worst days don't have to be your last chapter.
