From Heroin to Higher Consciousness

Narcan and Nicki Minaj: How Music Helped Her Survive Addiction & Custody Battles

Michelle Ryder is a recovery advocate, community leader, and Interim Executive Director of Recovery Alliance Project. After battling opioid addiction, surviving an overdose, losing custody of her children, and navigating a family court systemthat often saw her as a diagnosis instead of a person, Michelle fought her way back and rebuilt her life. • How a near-fatal overdose became the turning point that changed everything. • The devastating reality of losing custody and fighting to reclaim her children. • Why treatment access failures nearly cost her life. • The surprising role that music—from Tupac to Nicki Minaj—played in helping her find strength during the toughest battle of her life. • How she's now turning her pain into purpose through advocacy, recovery support, and systems change. This is a conversation about resilience, redemption, motherhood, and what happens when a woman refuses to let other people define who she is.

What Recovery Rooms Don't Talk About

What if addiction isn’t really about drugs… but about the nervous system searching for safety, love, and God? Today’s guest is life coach, speaker, and recovery advocate Tommy Kraus — someone I’ve known for nearly a decade — who opens up about the relationship patterns, childhood wounds, and spiritual awakening that completely changed the way he sees recovery, masculinity, and healing. In this conversation, we dive into the hidden connection between narcissism and codependency, why so many men are emotionally disconnected from themselves,how cold plunges and weightlifting became part of his spiritual healing journey, and the surprising reason he stepped away from traditional recovery spaces after seven years sober. We also talk about nervous system regulation, father wounds, psychedelics and trauma healing, hypervigilance in relationships, why stillness is so difficult for people today, and how healing begins when we stop performing and start getting honest with ourselves — and with God. And a lot more.

From Heroin to Higher Consciousness

What if recovery isn’t just about getting sober… but about learning how to fully come back into your body, reclaim your energy, and trust yourself again? Today’s guest is Caitlin — a musician, movement practitioner, and woman in long-term recovery whose journey took her from heroin addiction and traditional recovery spaces into somatic healing, spirituality, nervous system regulation, and radical self-awareness. In this conversation, we dive into why so many people feel disconnected from themselves, how movement and embodiment became a lifeline in her healing, andthe surprising parallels between addiction recovery, spirituality, and nervous system regulation. We also explore the rise of “half-awake” spirituality online, narcissism and codependency in modern relationships, why people are moving away from external gurus and toward inner authority, and how AI is reshaping self-reflection,healing, and human connection in ways most people aren’t talking about yet.

The Great Awakening Isn't What You Think (And Neither is Healing)

What if your life isn’t falling apart… but you’re waking up? In this episode of Field Notes: Transformation, Tara Moreno sits down with Erica Porter for a raw, honest conversation about what it really means to unravel—and rebuild—from the inside out. This isn’t surface-level healing. This is the deep work. They explore the tension between identity and truth, what happens when old versions of you start to collapse, and why what feels like chaos might actually be a spiritual awakening in disguise. Erica also shares her perspective on the “great awakening,” not as a trend or theory—but as a deeply personal, internal shift. The conversation moves into her evolving relationship with Christianity, where faith, healing, and personal truth intersect in ways that challenge what many people have beentaught. In this episode, we dive into: If you’ve been feeling like everything is changing—or falling apart—thisconversation will meet you right where you are.
