    #299 Mindset Monday: This Isn’t About Alcohol. It’s About Your Life.

    Have an episode suggestion? Text us! This episode is a direct conversation with the person who’s still drinking, still using, still bargaining, or quietly telling themselves they’re fine while their life feels smaller than it should. It was originally created for spouses to share with their partner, but over time we realized something: this message isn’t just for the people loving someone through addiction. It’s for the person in it. Matt speaks from lived experience, not theory. He walks through the fears that keep people stuck, the lies we tell ourselves about alcohol, and the real cost of staying the same. This isn’t about shame, control, religion, or being told what to do. It’s about honesty. It’s about taking a real look at what alcohol is actually giving you versus what it’s taking from your life, your relationships, and your potential. We talk about masculinity, accountability, legacy, early recovery, and why you can’t fix this alone. This conversation is uncomfortable on purpose, but it’s also hopeful. If something in you knows there’s more to life than this cycle, this episode is for you. Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!

    #298 - Paige's Perspective: Recognizing the Patterns That Shape Our Lives

    Have an episode suggestion? Text us! In this episode of Paige’s Perspective, Paige dives into a conversation we don’t have often enough: our own patterns. We spend a lot of time analyzing the behaviors and cycles of others, especially our partners, but rarely pause to examine the patterns we live inside of ourselves. Paige breaks down why patterns are so hard to recognize when we’re in them, why they feel justified and situational, and how the same responses can quietly keep us stuck. She explores common patterns like falling off self-care when things feel good, caretaking at the expense of ourselves, and overthinking as a way to feel safe or in control. This episode isn’t about blame or fixing yourself. It’s about awareness, choice, and growth. When we can see our patterns clearly, we gain the power to interrupt them, respond differently, and evolve in ways that actually move our lives forward.

    #297 - Boundaries Part 3

    Have an episode suggestion? Text us! This is Part 3 of our Boundaries series and the final episode in the three part framework. In Part 1, we focused on values, because boundaries only work when you know what matters to you. In Part 2, we identified the behaviors that violate those values and create confusion, anxiety, and resentment. In this episode, we get practical. We walk through what boundaries actually are, what they are not, and the most common mistakes that cause boundary setting to fail. Then we break down how to set a boundary that protects you without trying to control, convince, or manage the other person. This conversation is especially important for spouses and partners in addiction impacted relationships who have spent years prioritizing someone else’s recovery while losing themselves in the process. This episode was originally released in July 2023. Some of the language may sound slightly different than how we would say it today, but the message and framework still stand.

    #295 - Boundaries Part 2

    Have an episode suggestion? Text us! In Part 1, we started with values, because boundaries only work when you know what you stand for. In this episode, we move to the other side of the equation. What are the behaviors that make you feel uneasy, disrespected, or unsafe? What crosses a line for you, even if you have been taught to tolerate it? In Part 2, we break down what we call anti-values. The actions, patterns, and dynamics that create anxiety, erode self trust, and slowly disconnect you from yourself. We talk through real examples like yelling, interrupting, dismissing feelings, prying, criticism, gossip, violations of consent, and emotional and physical safety. From there, we define non negotiables. The lines that, once crossed, change the relationship. Period. This episode is about getting honest with yourself, trusting your internal signals, and preparing to set boundaries that are clear, grounded, and enforceable.

    #294 - Mindset Monday: The Story You Tell Yourself Is Holding You Back

    Have an episode suggestion? Text us! What if the thing holding you back isn’t your past…it’s the story you keep telling yourself about it? In this Mindset Monday, I’m coming for limiting beliefs. The quiet “rules” you picked up in survival mode and never updated. The lie that you’re not smart enough, not disciplined, not the “type” who gets sober, not the “type” who succeeds, not the “type” who gets a healthy relationship or a fresh start. I break down how these beliefs form (childhood chaos, early failure, being labeled), why they made sense back then, and why they’re costing you everything now. Then we run a simple exercise we use in Reclaiming You: find the belief, name the cost, question it, and test it - because new evidence doesn’t come from thinking, journaling, or “getting ready.” It comes from action. If you’ve ever looked at people with their life together and thought, “That’s not for someone like me,” this episode is your wake-up call. You’re not made of different stuff. You’re just still buying the narrative that you accepted wholesale without scrutiny once upon a time.

    #293 - Paige's Perspective: Challenging the Beliefs That Hold You Back

    Have an episode suggestion? Text us! So many of us are incredibly hard on ourselves. We struggle to see the good in who we are, to trust our perceptions, or to believe we are capable of more. When you’ve been blamed, betrayed, or emotionally worn down in your most intimate relationship, it makes sense. Those experiences shape the stories we tell ourselves. In this episode, I walk through a practical, step-by-step way to identify limiting beliefs, understand the cost of believing them, question whether they are actually true, and begin to soften and rewrite the story. We also talk about why believing good things about ourselves can feel uncomfortable or even unsafe, and why confidence and self-awareness are not opposites. This isn’t about positive thinking or pretending everything is fine. It’s about honesty, awareness, and learning to relate to yourself with less fear and more fairness. If you’ve ever thought “I’m not enough,” “I can’t trust myself,” or “This is just who I am,” this episode is for you.

    #292 - Boundaries Part 1

    Have an episode suggestion? Text us! Boundaries are the most requested topic we get, and most advice out there leaves people asking the same question: "Okay, but how do I actually do this?" This is Part 1 of a three-part Boundaries series, and we start where boundaries actually begin. With your values. Before you can decide what behavior you will tolerate, what is non negotiable, or what needs to change, you have to know what you stand for. Boundaries exist to defend what matters most to you. When values get bent, questioned, or slowly erased, anxiety shows up, self trust erodes, and people lose themselves trying to make relationships work. In this episode, Matt and Paige break down why so many people, especially those in addiction impacted relationships, lose touch with their values over time. They walk through what values really are, how they get sacrificed in unhealthy dynamics, and how to begin identifying and rebuilding them from scratch. You will hear real examples, practical exercises, and a clear framework for defining your core values so your boundaries stop being reactive and start becoming grounded, empowering decisions. This is step one. Know what you value so you know what to protect. Next week, we move into behaviors, discomfort, and non-negotiables.
