This one is a little different. And a little special.

Today I am joined by my husband Rich — the man who has been by my side through all of it. Nearly 34 years together, two recovering alcoholics, kids in addiction, a marriage that almost did not make it, and a healing journey that quietly changed everything between us.

We are talking about the new memoir — Recover Your Soul: A Spiritual Journey of Healing from Addiction, Codependency, and People Pleasing — and what Rich experienced reading our story told through my eyes. Rich wrote the foreword before he had even read the book. His willingness to let me share our real story with the world is one of the greatest gifts he has ever given me. Thank you Rich. 🤍

This is a real honest conversation about what actually shifts in a relationship when one person commits to healing their codependency. Not because it fixes anyone else. But because something changes. Quietly, steadily, and profoundly. We talk about anger, intensity, conflict, and the Jenga tower concept that changed how we handle hard moments together.

If you are doing this work and wondering whether it will make a difference in your relationships — this episode is for you.
