Meet Mike and Betsy: The Duo Bringing Laughter to Recovery

I think what we wanted to do with the podcast, is: we wanted to show you kind of a glimpse inside of what recovery is for somebody in recovery and a parent who has a child in recovery.
Ever wondered how humor can play a role in addiction recovery? Meet Mike Carpenter and Betsy Vicencio, the dynamic hosts of 'Recovery Uncovered'. With over 30 years of sobriety under his belt, Mike is a seasoned member of the mental health recovery community and the founder of MHAB Life Skills Campus. Betsy, on the other hand, brings her perspective as a mother to a daughter who has been sober for seven years.
Together, they create a podcast that's both informative and entertaining, offering a fresh take on life after addiction. In this episode titled 'Hello', Mike and Betsy introduce themselves and their mission to make the transition to life in recovery smoother. They share their personal stories, giving listeners an unfiltered look at the highs and lows of their journeys.
Mike talks about the concept of 'zero tolerance with love' at MHAB Life Skills Campus, where they have strict rules but also offer compassionate support. Betsy adds her insights on the importance of community support and the need to de-stigmatize addiction and mental illness. One of the standout moments in this episode is their discussion on addiction in the workplace.
They highlight the need for employers to better understand addiction and treatment, emphasizing that recovery is a personal transformation that requires both support and understanding. And let's not forget the role of humor! Mike and Betsy believe that laughter is a powerful tool in healing, making their podcast not just a source of information but also a beacon of hope and joy.
So, if you're looking for a podcast that combines heartfelt stories with a good dose of humor, 'Recovery Uncovered' is for you. Whether you're in recovery yourself, supporting a loved one, or simply curious about the process, Mike and Betsy's candid conversations will leave you feeling both informed and uplifted.
