My Baggage Unpacked: The Wreckage, the Regrets, and the Story I Finally Tell
<p>This is my baggage… the chaos I lived through, the chaos I caused, and the fallout that shaped me.</p><p>I didn’t put this episode on hold, because it’s time. Time to reclaim my voice, take back the narrative, and drop the shame once and for all. This story is mine now.</p><p>Byron sits with me as I unpack the decisions I made early in my marriage, the bridges I burned, the secrets I kept, the money I borrowed, the shame I carried, and the life that detonated around me when everything went wrong at once.</p><p>We talk about the guilt, the survival instincts, the desperation, and the emotional math you do when you’re trying to hold up a collapsing world with both hands. We talk about the consequences — the friendships lost, the reputation destroyed, the betrayal from others, and the long, slow process of rebuilding a life you barely recognize.</p><p>It’s raw, honest, painful, and threaded with the dark humor that’s kept me alive. This is not the pretty version. This is not the PR version. This is the real story — unfiltered, unedited, and finally, mine to tell.</p><p><br></p><p>“This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

The Lawyer’s Guide to “Am I Liable for That?” What Every Partner Must Hear
<p>In Episode Four, my separation lawyer breaks down the legal side of loving an addict, the part nobody tells you until you are in an office hearing, “Yes, you would be liable if he crashed a car high.” Marc explains what the law looks like when addiction enters a relationship: the risks, the exposure, the fine print, and the questions every spouse needs to ask before the next crisis. It is blunt, eye opening, darkly funny, and essential listening for anyone who has wondered, “Am I legally on the hook for their chaos?”</p><p><br></p><p>“This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

The other side of the bed: Loving an addict: From Carpool to Crisis Mode in one afternoon.
<p>In Episode Three, we sit down with a woman still in the trenches, married to an addict, raising kids, paying bills, and stepping around emotional landmines every day. BethAnn’s story is not polished or past tense. It is happening right now.We talk about surviving love when it is complicated, holding a family together with duct tape, and why being called “so strong” feels more insulting than inspiring. We go behind the Instagram version of holding it together, because nothing says “I am fine” like crying in the car between errands. This is the wife’s side of addiction.</p><p><br></p><p>“This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.
