Unique

As a recovering sex addict, I relate to the stories and situations in this podcast. It’s unique since it goes through Patrick Carnes’ “Facing the Shadow” workbook, which I am currently working through. A valuable resource for me.

Real, Raw, Judgement Free Podcast

Wow! This has easily become one of my favorite podcasts. I love how vulnerable, and honest Austin and his guests are. Despite your addiction, habits, or struggles there’s a little bit of something for everyone. And you’ll always walk away with valuable advice! They drop so many gems along the way!
