From the outside, Josh Case looked successful, he built a renewable energy company, sold it to a Fortune 500, and held a major executive role. But behind the scenes, he was a functioning alcoholic, drinking at work, drinking to cope, and drinking to numb trauma he’d never dealt with. In this episode, Josh talks about going to rehab, why sobriety never lasted, and how everything changed when he finally confronted the childhood abuse and codependency patterns driving his addiction. Now sober, rebuilding his life, and running SoberBuzz, Josh shares why, for the first time ever, he no longer has a desire to drink.Connect with Josh

Imagine growing up unable to read then growing into someone whose life revolves around words. That’s William May’s story. Once a child who couldn’t make sense of the page, he is now a published poet.

William talks openly about growing up severely dyslexic, the frustration of trying to read, and the moment a special education teacher, Shirley Cohn, helped unlock that ability for him. As he put it, “I went from not being able to read at all to suddenly being off and running.”

He shares what it felt like to be told as a kid that he “wasn’t intelligent,” how his mother recognized his struggles early, and why handwriting is still physically painful due to dysgraphia. Yet those early challenges didn’t limit him—they shaped him. They gave him a deep love for language, a sense of magic around reading, and ultimately the desire to become a writer.

Blazes Without Burning

Some stories carry both heartbreak and healing. In this heartfelt episode of Notable Peeps, Angie Castor shares how a season of unimaginable loss facing cancer, divorce, the death of her oldest son, and the loss of her home and job completely changed the course of her life. For years, she stayed strong and pushed forward, rebuilding from the outside but never truly healing within. It wasn’t until much later, through an unexpected moment on an airplane reading a book about signs from loved ones, that she began to open her heart to spirituality and healing. That moment led her to explore breathwork, dream interpretation, and foot zoning each step helping her reconnect to her body, her intuition, and her purpose. Today, through Blissed Out Heart, Angie helps others heal and rediscover themselves through holistic practices that blend breathwork, energy work, and spiritual connection.
