Is It Possible To Build Back Trust?
Whether your loved one suffers from addiction or not, having trust in your relationship is essential. Right? Because without it, you'll most likely start to feel frustrated or even stuck. But if you entered this relationship with any trust issues from your past, it's important to make your healing a priority. And you're not going to be able to do that if you're looking to your partner to help you feel better.
So, how do you start to build back trust? Is it even possible? Tune in to this week's episode, where I share some tips (and examples) that you can start to apply to your life right now.

He Went To 5 Rehabs In 22 Years
When your loved one who struggles with addiction has been in and out of rehab for 22 years, at what point do you say, 'enough is enough?' Because honestly, are they really EVER going to get healthy (especially when they can't be honest about their addiction)?
That's something a strong woman in our community shared recently and what her 'line in the sand' was for leaving her marriage.
Take some time to listen to this new podcast episode and how the work she's done on her healing (including unlearning 'learned' behavior) has also helped her kids regarding their dad's addiction.

Customer Reviews
Empowering and Validating!!!
It felt so good to know I was not the cause of my spouses alcoholism. For so long he told me that I was the cause and sadly I believed it. I was speechless when I heard my first podcasts. It was like she was reading my mind. It literally gives you the nuggets to decide if you feel staying is the best for your situation or leaving. Not only does it give you the nuggets to help you make informed decisions but gives real life examples on how to implement this in either decision. Michelle you have been a blessing to me and so many others!!!
No more podcasts.
Michelle’s podcasts are so healing, to know you are not alone. I wish she would continue but understand that life takes over. Thanks again.
Finally not alone
I love Michelle and these episodes. Almost every one hits me right where I need it. I’m finally not alone. And I’m not crazy. And I’m not all bad for reacting the way I have to the chaos around me. Thank you, Michelle and guests. I miss new episodes and am sad that recordings ended.
