Episode 43 : Kimberly McBee!

On this edition of Reset and Rise to the Unbreakable With Amanda Moore, we welcome Kimberly McBee to the show! Here's her bio in her own words : Hi, my name is Kimberly McBee, this is my story. As a child I was severely abused physically and mentally by my father. The mental abuse went on my entire life until I removed him from my life in November. The physical abuse ended at 15. My dad is a true textbook psychopath. In 9th grade my Algebra teacher told my mom I should see a therapist. I was later diagnosed with PTSD. At 19 I started drinking to party. It quickly turned in to full blown alcoholism. I drank to numb the past. I didn't want to feel anything. I slowed down the drinking in my mid 20's. That was until my ex husband knocked me out fracturing my cheek bones. When I woke up on the floor he was standing over me. He held me hostage in our house for 3 days. When he finally went to work I ran never looking back. I started drinking much heavier than before. I was a "functioning" alcoholic 16 years. I went to detox 8 or 9 times. In 2018 I did stop for 18 months until I was abused again. In June of last year I went to detox. I found out that my job had fired me for going. I drank as soon as I got out. I had a job I loved for 6 years gone. My family life was falling apart, I isolated and drank until I couldn't anymore. The doctors told my husband he would be burying me in 6 months. I went to my husband and daughter in November of last year. I told them I had to go detox and be taken to a 30 day program. I told them either I could miss one Thanksgiving if I go or all of them if I don't go. For my 30 day program I went to a facility called Hammocks on the Edisto. It was time to face my demons. Hammocks completely changed my life. I went in knowing I would do whatever it took. The staff there is incredible. The therapist want you to really trust them and dive deep. So I did. I spent the time to focus on and fix my inner child. I had never faced my past, only ran from it. All while being cared for, motivated, and really listened to by therapists, counselors and the 14 other women in the house for treatment. Those women are now my family for life. We all speak to each other every day. Coming out of the Hammocks I was scared to leave my safe bubble. They gave me the tools to stay sober and thrive in my new life. I also found my faith in God again while I was there. You see, my father was a deacon. It turned me away from church. God has worked miracles in my life since. I no longer struggle with numbing myself from the past. I left the past and haven't looked back. I occasionally suffer with triggers from my PTSD but it no longer controls me. I wake up each day smiling, thankful, and blessed. I will be 6 months sober on 5/17/26!! I graduated from my IOP. I have been invited to be a key note speaker at a women's convention later this year. I gave my testimony in church and my husband posted it. I've received hundreds of messages. People who are struggling or just want to support me.

Episode 42 : PWBA Bowler Rina Sabo!

On this edition of Reset and Rise to the Unbreakable With Amanda Moore, we welcome PWBA Bowler Rina Sabo to the show! Here's her bio in her own words : I'm a Colorado Native. I started bowling at the age of 12 years old in my first junior league at Bowlero Lanes in Lakewood, Colorado. My passion for the sport grew even deeper during my junior years by bowling several other leagues and tournaments. When I turned 19, I started bowling in adult leagues and my passion for the sport grew into ambition. My ambition and love for the sport have earned me several Colorado Springs Queens titles and several USBC Colorado State women's titles which I'm honored to say in August 2025, I got inducted into the USBC Colorado State Hall of Fame. My dream was to become a professional bowler. With the relaunch of the PWBA in 2015, I was given an opportunity to achieve that dream. After many tournaments, I became a PWBA member in 2019, which opened the door further in my journey to achieve my dream. I am proud to say I have 3 top 10 finishes in the PWBA regional tournaments in 2024. I am honored and blessed to say that my dream of becoming a member of senior Team USA came true in October 2025. My first gold medal was in the doubles event with a great partner, Jodi Woessner. My second gold medal was in the team event with some great teammates, Lynda Barnes, Dana Ausec and Jodi Woessner. I owe a big part in my professional career to my husband and son, whose continued support through thick and thin have propelled me to places I could only dream of visiting and walking along with many other professional bowlers.

Episode 41 : Marine Veteran & Entrepreneur Brandon Harris!

On this edition of Reset and Rise to the Unbreakable With Amanda Moore, we welcome retired Marine Veteran and Entrepreneur Brandon Harris to the show! Here's his bio : Brandon Harris spent a decade in the Marine Corps with multiple deployments, and came home thinking the hard part was over. It wasn't. The years after the uniform came off were the messiest of his life — bouncing through oil and gas, project management, bootstrapping a cigar company, starting a non-profit for the Veteran and first responder community, and a handful of other swings that didn't connect. He jokes that his resume looks like a guy who couldn't hold a job, but the truth is he was hunting for the thing that fit. He finally found it in Mergers & Acquisitions, where he now works as an advisor helping Founder-led business owners scale and exit companies they've spent decades building. At 37 years old he's back in school to finish a finance degree after 19 years since dropping out with below a 2.0 GPA. He lives in The Woodlands, Texas with his wife — a local constable and school resource officer — and their three daughters, who are actively teaching him that combat was easier than raising teenage girls. Brandon's story is about the long walk between who you were and who you're becoming, the value of swinging and missing, and why the setbacks usually turn out to be the setup.

Episode 40 : Vietnam Marine Combat Veteran (Ret.) Keith Cole!

On this edition of Reset and Rise to the Unbreakable With Amanda Moore, we welcome retired Marine Vietnam Veteran and author Keith Cole to the show! Here's his bio : Keith Cole is a Marine Corps combat veteran who served as a machine gunner in Vietnam, where survival depended on discipline, emotional control, and carrying more than your share of the load. After returning home, he built a successful career as a CPA and business owner. For decades, the same mindset that kept him effective in combat—suppressing emotion, staying mission-focused, and pushing through—was rewarded in the corporate world. Until it wasn’t. What followed wasn’t a single breaking point, but a slow, internal collapse that didn’t make sense on the surface. Externally, everything looked stable. Internally, something was coming apart. That experience led him to examine the long-term cost of unresolved trauma, high-functioning burnout, and the delayed impact of living in a constant state of pressure and control. Today, Keith focuses on helping others recognize the early signs of that “delayed collision” before it becomes a collapse—especially among high performers, veterans, and leaders who have spent years being rewarded for the very traits that may be working against them. Keith is the author of Burnout: God’s Recovery Plan, where he explores the intersection of trauma, performance, and recovery through both lived experience and practical application.
