The Shane Vitko Podcast | The Hard Way HomeBreathwork, Nervous System Reset | Healing, High Performance | The Shane Vitko Podcast EP 12In Episode 12 of The Shane Vitko Podcast, I sit down with my good friend Jack Campbell, retired NHL goalie, for something completely different.Instead of walking through Jack’s hard way home, we recorded immediately following Jack’s first real breathwork session and unpack what actually comes up when the body finally lets go.Jack opens up about the pressure of always performing, never cracking, and carrying everything on his shoulders as a high-level athlete. He talks about feeling emotions move through his body that he didn’t even know he’d been holding onto.Shane breaks down what breathwo...

The two got sober together in Los Angeles, and this one is a full-circle conversation about what it really takes to rebuild a life after addiction.George takes us back to Minnesota, growing up around recovery, family interventions, and the early warning signs he didn’t understand yet. He opens up about the first times he drank and got high, the chase for “more,” and how pills and opioid addiction took over after surgeries. Then comes...
2026-01-271h 16The Shane Vitko Podcast | The Hard Way HomeFrom Incarceration to Identity | Addiction, Reentry, Survival | The Shane Vitko Podcast EP 10In this episode, I sit down with Sabrena Morgan for a conversation that doesn’t flinch from the reality of addiction, eating disorders, incarceration, and survival. Sabrena shares what it was like living a double life long before drugs entered the picture, how control, body image, and trauma shaped her choices, and what it meant to finally lose everything in a very public way.This isn’t a story about redemption as a highlight reel. It’s about what happens after the consequences hit and the cameras are gone. We talk about prison, identity, and the strange disori...
2026-01-131h 26The Shane Vitko Podcast | The Hard Way HomeFrom Loving to Letting Go | Addiction, Boundaries, Loss | The Shane Vitko Podcast EP 9In this episode, I sit down with Joanna Miranda, a single mom of five and a health and fitness coach, for a conversation that doesn’t look away from the damage addiction leaves behind. Joanna shares what it was like to love a man who was struggling, navigate military life, and carry the weight of decisions no spouse ever wants to make. This isn’t a story about fixing someone. It’s about what happens when love alone isn’t enough. We talk about boundaries, self-respect, and the difference between supporting someone and losing yourself in the process. Joanna speaks h...
2026-01-061h 38The Shane Vitko Podcast | The Hard Way HomeFrom Mob Ties to Helping Others | Opiates, Violence, Recovery | The Shane Vitko Podcast EP 8Ronnie Costa joins The Shane Vitko Podcast for a brutally honest conversation about what happens when the streets raise you, violence becomes currency, and survival turns into a full-time identity.Ronnie grew up in Providence, Rhode Island, surrounded by mob culture, reputation, and a pressure cooker standard of what it meant to be a man. He talks about chasing respect, earning a name, and how crime became his first addiction long before drugs ever showed up.Then OxyContin hit New England, and everything shifted. What started as an escape turned into a trap. Ronnie explains...
2025-12-3059 minThe Shane Vitko Podcast | The Hard Way HomeFrom the Ice to the Edge | Addiction, Identity, Recovery | The Shane Vitko Podcast EP 7Former NHL All-Star Sheldon Souray joins The Shane Vitko Podcast for a raw conversation about how quickly life can unravel when identity, pain, and access collide.Sheldon opens up about a progression most people never see coming. Pills that started as “just in case” turned into daily survival. What felt controlled became brutal. Relationships fell apart. Self-respect disappeared. And the lie that more would finally make things right kept winning until it didn’t.This episode is not about hockey highlights or career accolades. It’s about what happens when the uniform comes off, the noise fa...
2025-12-231h 09The Shane Vitko Podcast | The Hard Way HomeEarned, Not Announced | Patterns, Sobriety, Accountability | The Shane Vitko Podcast EP 6In this episode of The Shane Vitko Podcast, I break down why sobriety isn’t proven by days counted, but by patterns changed. Early recovery can make you want praise and trust fast, but real accountability is earned quietly over time.I talk about rebuilding trust, stopping performative sobriety, and why consistency matters more than announcements. If you’re in early recovery or trying to repair damaged relationships, this episode is for you.🎧 Listen on Spotify & YouTube📲 Follow: @svthehardway | @warriorwithinhale

We talk about growing up on Section 8, a mom in addiction, bouncing from city to city, and what it does to a kid to always feel like the outsider in towns where everyone else has two parents and hockey gear.Jay walks through the first time he stole at eight years old, how tagging with white-out behind a brick building turned into a full graffiti identity, and how his name BACK beca...
2025-12-091h 08The Shane Vitko Podcast | The Hard Way HomeWhen The Fog Lifted | Breathwork, Clarity, Relapse | EP 4In Episode 4 of The Shane Vitko Podcast, “When The Fog Lifted,” I go back to the moment everything cracked open for me.The first time I ever did breathwork, something shifted. Not dramatically, not with fireworks, but in a quiet way that made me think maybe I wasn’t doomed. Maybe there was a shot at something better. That moment of clarity was the first break in the chaos I’d lived in for years.I also talk about the first time I hit one year sober — and how chasing perfection almost killed me. I relapsed not because I was weak...
2025-12-0228 minThe Shane Vitko Podcast | The Hard Way HomeThe Price of Rage | Anger, Trauma, Identity | EP 3In Episode 3 of The Shane Vitko Podcast, “The Price of Rage,” I talk about the years where anger ran my life and the damage that came with it.From school suspensions and fights to boot camp, deployment, and the fallout in my relationships, I break down the truth behind living with a short fuse. Rage didn’t make me strong. It made me isolated. It made me unpredictable. It pushed away the people who actually cared about me. This episode isn’t about glorifying any of it — it’s about being honest about the wreckage and the work it takes to sto...
2025-11-2534 minThe Shane Vitko Podcast | The Hard Way HomeThe War Within | Trauma, Identity, Recovery | EP 2In Episode 2 of The Shane Vitko Podcast, “The War Within,” I talk about the fight most men never speak about — the battle between who we show the world and who we really are underneath the armor.For most of my life, I thought strength meant shutting up, stuffing emotion, and muscling through anything that hurt. That mask kept me alive in the environments I grew up in… but it also kept me from knowing myself. In this episode, I break down how that survival mode followed me into adulthood, how sobriety ripped the mask off, whether I wanted it or not...
2025-11-1836 minThe Shane Vitko Podcast | The Hard Way HomeI’m Done Wishing | Starting Over, Recovery, Rebuilding | EP 1In Episode 1 of The Shane Vitko Podcast, “I’m Done Wishing,” I talk about the years I spent telling myself I’d start again “someday” — and why that day finally came.I break down what pulled me off the path, what happened after Deviant Gentlemen, and the exact moment I realized I was done waiting for permission to rebuild my life. This first episode sets the tone for The Hard Way Home — honesty, recovery, real change, and the uncomfortable work it takes to become the man you were supposed to be.If you've ever felt stuck, lost, or like your second chan...
