not all there is a raw, unfiltered podcast from Lymbic Media featuring stories of sobriety and recovery in all its ugly, complicated, occasionally funny glory — alcohol and drug addiction, mental illness, grief, trauma, toxic relationships, self-doubt, and everything else humans do to themselves and each other.
Hosted by Chad Johnson — recovery advocate, storyteller, community builder, and person who has been not all there for over a decade — the show doesn't flinch, doesn't sugarcoat, and definitely doesn't end with a inspirational quote over a stock photo of a sunrise.

The Gift of Sobriety by Un-Fucking Yourself: A Conversation with Cat Greenleaf
In this powerful and refreshingly honest conversation, Chad sits down with Cat Greenleaf of the Soberness podcast for a deep dive into spirituality, addiction, recovery, and what it really means to come home to yourself.
Cat traces her journey from a spiritually attuned child to a successful public figure quietly struggling with alcoholism—and ultimately to a woman living openly and intentionally in recovery. Together, Chad and Cat explore the messy middle: the isolation of addiction, the courage it takes to ask for help, and the life-changing importance of community and connection.
The conversation unpacks the role of the 12-step program and Alcoholics Anonymous, while also embracing the truth that recovery is not one-size-fits-all.
Cat speaks candidly about the idea of “whatever works”—honoring multiple pathways to sobriety and meeting people exactly where they are.
They also touch on cultural moments like Dry January, the growing openness around sobriety, and why talking honestly about addiction matters now more than ever.
This episode is about surrender and strength, humility and humor, and the radical power of sharing your story out loud.
And fittingly, this conversation marks the very first episode of Not All There on the Lymbic Podcast Network—a new home for real stories, lived experience, and meaningful conversations at the intersection of addiction, recovery, mental health, and purpose.
