Angie Manson with Nikki and Jon Stipp - National Recovery Month

GOING ROGUE Podcast with Angie Manson

Tuning in from the road touring for their band HOOKED LIKE HELEN, today’s special guests are Nikki and Jon Stipp!

Everyone is touched by addiction in some way, whether it is your personal experience, or knowing or losing someone struggling with it. Having gone through addiction herself, Nikki shares her experiences and emotions about it through her music, where she and her fans heal their trauma by rocking out together.
In this special episode for National Recovery Month, we’re talking about how they tour and tackle the rock ‘n’ roll scene while SOBER, how they find healing through music and performing, and all things recovery and rock ‘n’ roll!
About The Stipps’:

The Stipps’ journey to sobriety, spanning over 11 years, has become an essential element of their artistic narrative, guiding their mission to inspire and support others through their music. The May 2023 release of "Sleepwalker" marked a poignant moment, addressing addiction recovery and delivering a message of hope to fans nationwide. During recovery month (September) the band plans to speak their truth louder than ever. Their moniker, "HOOKED LIKE HELEN," even pays homage to unexpected sources of addiction, derived from a friend's mother's fixation on diet coke. This blend of personal history and meaningful connection is the hallmark of their artistry. The band's sound gracefully blends vulnerability and fierceness, reminiscent of iconic artists like Tori Amos. The fierceness is not limited to their sound. They tackle songs that many artists could not / would not touch. Equally comfortable covering Slipknot’s “Duality” as they are covering Olivia Rodrigo’s “Vampire” with Halocene, there is nowhere HOOKED LIKE HELEN just won’t go.

About The Host, Angie Manson:

Entrepreneur in Addiction Treatment, CrossFitter, Podcast Host, and Power Mom! Going Rogue is how I’ve made it this far in life and has been my mantra. Sometimes you’ve got to break some rules or ruffle some feathers to get anything truly meaningful done. It has served me well in my career and in helping me overcome challenges. Passion Turned Into Profession…CEO of Elevate Addiction Services I’ve worked in alcohol and drug rehabilitation full-time for over 28 years. I came into this industry after my own life had taken a turn and I was facing 10 years in prison, only to have been given a chance at rehab first. I saw what addiction could do to my life and that I was one of so many struggling with the same issue. I also saw how effective rehab could completely turn someone’s life around. After I got clean, I started helping others and have never looked back!
