About Yinz Are Good Podcast

Ready for some good news?Yinz* Are Good shares the good stuff that’s going on out there and celebrates the good people who are making it all happen. Episodes include interviews with folks – individuals, groups, or organizations  – who are helping those in need in our communities, providing hope, lending support, putting smiles on people’s faces…you get the idea.

Host Tressa Glover also asks listeners to share their own stories about times when someone changed their lives for the better. It could have been a friend, a colleague, or even a stranger. It could be a story that changed the course of their life or simply the course of their day. Sharing our stories is one of the best ways to connect with, learn from, and help each other—and couldn’t we all use that right about now?

*Yinz = Pittsburgh’s version of Y’all

PAY IT FORWARD – NONPROFIT RESOURCE GUIDE: Teetotal Initiative is a Pittsburgh-based 501(c)3 non-profit focused on individuals committed to a sober lifestyle.

Teetotal Initiative’s inclusive and sober-focused high-quality programming addresses some of the most common causes of relapse: isolation, boredom, and loneliness. Their mission is to help individuals sustain sobriety. Through free events, activities, and high-quality programming, they aim to enhance quality of life and support relapse prevention.

As the first-of-its-kind recreational sober community, Teetotal Initiative inspires a stigma-free and celebratory social atmosphere, promoting meaningful sobriety and community opportunities for all, regardless of their journey to recovery. We welcome all forms of recovery and are not aligned to any specific program. Teetotal Initiative does not provide support groups or professional medical services. Instead, we care for the “rest of life” that happens outside of formal treatment and group support and are a complement to anyone’s recovery toolbox.
