Elizabeth Vargas on achieving lasting sobriety - Jane’s guest today is broadcasting icon Elizabeth Vargas, the embodiment of all the qualities one would expect from an Emmy-award winning television journalist, anchor, reporter and author. But beyond the globe-trotting stories of major events and personalities, Elizabeth, a voice of truth and reason, tells her own inspirational story in the best-selling Between Breaths: A Memoir of Panic and Addiction. Indeed, she overcame her own struggles with alcoholism and now works to increase awareness, empathy, and access to resources with the aim of ending addiction in America. To that end, she is on the board of Partnership to End Addiction, a nonprofit that is transforming how our nation addresses addiction, and the host of its popular Heart of the Matter podcast. On Jane’s show today, listeners will learn about Elizabeth’s personal journey to recovery, her health and wellness tips and tools for managing stress and anxiety, her most effective mantras, the importance of gratitude and meditation, and the open and honest conversations she has had with her teenage sons about addiction. Hearing Elizabeth’s blueprint for living a sober life will help us all feel Better Than Before, physically, mentally and spiritually.

For anyone who's ever faced a turning point-a health diagnosis, a personal loss, or simply the feeling that something needs to change-Jane Wilkens Michael Better Than Before offers a grounded and compassionate voice. Drawing from her long career writing nationally syndicated columns on beauty, health, and fitness, Jane translates her wisdom into conversation, moving from the page to the airwaves. This isn't about drastic overhauls or unattainable ideals. Instead, each episode feels like a thoughtful discussion focused on practical, manageable steps. You'll hear Jane guide her audience through concepts of self-care that are both gentle and effective, focusing on how to truly relax a busy mind, replenish depleted energy, and rejuvenate a weary spirit. The core philosophy, building a life that is Better Than Before, is woven into every topic, whether it's navigating fitness after an injury, finding quiet moments in a noisy world, or redefining personal wellness on your own terms. The podcast serves as an audio companion for that very personal journey, emphasizing that progress is built from simple, consistent actions. Tune in for a blend of personal insight, actionable advice, and the steady encouragement that has already resonated with millions of readers, now offered in a more intimate, spoken format.
