On this week’s episode of Rooted Recovery Stories, Patrick sits down with Hollywood’s go-to stunt woman, Kimberly Shannon Murphy. As an award-winning stuntwoman, she was intimate with pain. For years, she propelled her body through dangerous spaces—medicating the trauma of her childhood sexual abuse with the adrenaline rush that came from pushing herself to the absolute limit. But as Kimberly learned, no matter how much you suppress your past, it always catches up with you. In her new book, Glimmer, Kimberly details her remarkable journey to the top of her field as a Hollywood stuntwoman for many A-list celebrities, including Cameron Diaz, Charlize Theron, Angelina Jolie, Taylor Swift, and Sandra Bullock, while carrying the pain of her childhood of sexual abuse in a family that refused to acknowledge its reality. In her beautifully written, unflinchingly honest memoir, Kimberly reflects on her past and present, chronicling her path to recovery and calculating the long shadow of trauma. Her story of surviving abuse and her journey to healing herself is both jarring and profound, and her strength is second to no one. She is a gift who anyone needs a reminder that true healing is possible, and that your relationship with your inner child is critical to that recovery process. She has learned to protect herself at all costs, and lets the viewer know that there is light on the other side of the darkness. About Kimberly Shannon Murphy: Kimberly Shannon Murphy is Hollywood’s go to Stunt Double for Premier Silver Screen actresses. Her resume is loaded with top box office films such as The Lone Ranger, Oblivion, Jack Reacher, Hunger Games, Savages, Men in Black 3, Knight and Day and the list goes on. About her book Glimmer: A Story of Survival, Hope, and Healing Glimmer is the story of one woman’s quest to reclaim her life and to shine a spotlight on the dark topic of intergenerational familial abuse. As Kimberly reveals, being strong isn’t about getting your black belt, leaping out of four-story buildings, or putting 200-pound stuntmen in chokeholds—it’s about waking up every single morning and choosing to love yourself, no matter your history. A heroic and hopeful story of stolen innocence, pain, courage, and survival, Glimmer is an emotional roadmap for others who have suffered abuse and childhood trauma, offering them hope, healing, and inspiration. Reviews 'This book is so much more than the sum of its parts. It is a gift. It is Kimberly's offering to readers suffering in silence. It is a companion for anyone who has endured trauma, at any level. And it is a beautiful tribute to the strength and power of the human spirit.' — Cameron Diaz “An intimate and vulnerable portrait of the long-term impacts of our most painful childhood experiences, Glimmer is a beautifully written and empowering story of resilience that offers a glimmer of hope for all survivors of childhood abuse and trauma.” — Nicole LePera, Ph.D., author of the number one New York Times bestseller How to Do the Work Watch/Listen/Subscribe: ⁠⁠@rootedrecoverystories Insta: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/rootedrecoverystories/ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@patrickcusterproject Facebook: https://www.promises.com/rooted-recovery-stories/ URL: ⁠https://www.rootedrecoverystories.com⁠ Follow Kimberly Shannon Murphy Insta - @kimberlyshannonmurphystunts Twitter - @KSMstuntwoman Youtube - @StuntwomanKimberlyShannon Website - https://kimberlyshannonmurphy.com/ Follow Patrick Custer!

On this newest episode of Rooted Recovery, Patrick Custer sits down to talk with Intervention host, Zach Livingston. Before Zach was on TV, he talks about the long path it took before being able to help other people. Zach opens up about all parts of his journey to recovery including, getting addicted at a young age, fighting fires, flatlining, and relapsing; which all led him to where he is now. He also places importance on the people who were able to help him recover, which has allowed him to use his recovery in order to help others heal. Zach Livingston is a case manager and an addiction interventionist, who uses the lessons and knowledge obtained from his own battle with addiction and help from others, in order to aid those struggling with their own addiction. Patrick and Zach take a dive into the rationalization mindset of relapsing.

On this week’s episode of Rooted Recovery Stories, Patrick Custer is joined by the HomeReno expert and social media mogul, Daniel "Handy Dan" Sugden. And let us just say, it is FAR from boring. The two cover deep topics, including Daniel’s growing up without his dad and the impact it had on his development and decisions. He explains his prior need for attention and the detrimental effect of having friends who care about you for the wrong reasons. As many of us know, the root of addiction stems from a need to belong. Daniel talks about the fact that addiction is a “progressive disease,” and how out of all the people in his life, his accountant led him to be “sober curious.” Patrick and Daniel share their experiences and what ultimately led to overhauling their lives and redesigning them. They touch on EMDR, meditation, and visualization as vital tools to maintain sobriety and to continue to grow into the best, most authentic version of yourself. Also, guys… We have GOT to talk about your spending on skincare. It’s getting out of control :) —-------- We would love to hear from you!
