Have an episode suggestion? Text us! If you’ve been stuck in your head replaying old memories, planning out future disasters, or living on autopilot, this one’s for you.

#265 - TWFO Classic: You Can Do Hard Things
Have an episode suggestion? Text us! Replay. Originally aired in July 2024. We’re bringing this back because the tools here (resilience, boundaries, timelines, and real talk about equal partnership) stay relevant. This is an episode designed more like a charcuterie board than a main course. We discuss Independently Strong because we don't think we've really ever done a great job at communicating what it's about and the value to someone in a relationship with a person struggling with addiction...

#264 - From Flaw to Feature: The Truth About Addictive Traits
Have an episode suggestion? Text us! Addictive traits aren't bugs, they're features. When I first got sober, I was terrified I’d become boring. No more adrenaline. No more chaos. Just… normal life.I thought I’d be the “square dad” mowing the lawn in tucked-in polos while everyone else was still out living. What I learned was the opposite. Addiction didn’t kill my personality, it just hijacked it. The same intensity, obsession, and risk-taking that once burned my life down are now the same tra...

Paige opens up about one of the most powerful questions she’s ever asked herself: “Why not me?” In this raw and empowering episode, she shares how that simple question pulled her out of self-doubt and helped her become the woman she never thought she could be.

It’s about remembering that change do...

Have an episode suggestion? Text us! In this episode, Matt and Paige take a deep dive into the difference between coping and healing.

#260 - Paige's Perspective: How We Misuse Recovery Language (and What to Do Instead)
Have an episode suggestion? Text us! In this episode, Paige gets real about something she’s noticed in the healing and recovery space: the temptation to use growth language as a weapon. When we finally find words for our pain, it can feel powerful; but if we start using those words to shame, prove, or control others, we’ve missed the point. Paige unpacks what weaponizing content looks like, how it happens on both sides of addiction, and what healthy communication sounds like instead. Fi...

Have an episode suggestion? Text us! This week we’re taking a short break from recording and revisiting a powerful episodes from mid 2024, Separate the Behaviors from the Addiction. How much should you focus on the substance? To what degree is the substance responsible for someone's behavior? Is it easier to forgive someone's bad behavior because they're addicted? Should compassion for a struggling addict or alcoholic overshadow your needs for an equal partner, or for honesty in a relat...

#258 - Guys, Let's Start Talking
Have an episode suggestion? Text us! This one’s for both sides of the table - the person who’s sober but still hiding, and the partner who’s done begging for honesty. If you’re trying to rebuild, this is how we did it. If you’ve already walked away, this may remind you why you made that choice. I break down what it actually took to open up, how we both hold space for each other, and rebuilt trust from ashes - not illusion. In this episode I break down how I ventured into the great unkno...

#257 - Paige's Perspective: The Healing Swing No One Talks About
Have an episode suggestion? Text us! In this week’s Paige’s Perspective, I’m talking about something most people don’t discuss enough: the pendulum swing in healing. It’s that moment when you go from being quiet and careful to suddenly not caring what anyone thinks. You’ve spent years shrinking yourself to stay safe, so when your voice finally returns, it might come out louder, sharper, or stronger than you intended. You may question if you are the one being harmful. That doesn’t make y...

#252 - Paige's Perspective: When “Just Stay Positive” Stops Working
Have an episode suggestion? Text us! In this episode of Paige’s Perspective, I’m breaking down the difference between toxic positivity and the power of pivoting. We’ll talk about how social media, family, and even traditional recovery spaces sometimes weaponize positivity to silence your pain, and how serenity has been mistaken for emotional shutdown. Then we’ll reframe it. Pivoting is about being honest and grounded — holding two truths at once: “This is hard, and I can handle it.” You’ll ...

#251 - Why “One Day at a Time” Isn’t What You Think
Have an episode suggestion? Text us! “What if” feeds anxiety. “Even if” builds a plan. In this episode we unpack what “one day at a time” actually looks like for both spouses and people in recovery. We break down how to use it as a call to action instead of a reason to wait it out. You’ll learn how to swap future-tripping for present-focused steps, set values-based boundaries, and stack micro wins that add up to real change. We also get honest about the ways this phrase gets misused in relati...

#249 - Paige's Perspective: You’re Not Overreacting: Why We Minimize Instead of Catastrophize
Have an episode suggestion? Text us! Many spouses believe they’re catastrophizing — blowing things out of proportion, imagining the worst — when in reality, they’re minimizing. In this episode of Paige’s Perspective, we explore how minimization shows up as a survival strategy, how addicted partners manipulate us into shrinking the truth, and how society reinforces it with messages like “at least he’s not hitting you” or “forgive and forget.” I’ll share real-life examples of what minimizing lo...

In this episode, we break down drunken honesty and get real about what alcohol does (and doesn’t) change. From the science of lowered inhibitions to the deeper beliefs and resentments that surface when the filter drops, we explore why it’s not just about what was said in the moment but about the patterns that reveal who someone really is.
