Recovery. The bits we don’t say out loud.
Recovery Talks: Unfiltered is where we talk about the parts of recovery people normally only talk about with each other.
Hosted by Josh and Ellyn, we get into what recovery actually looks like once the drugs and alcohol are gone. The relationships, sex, relapse, ADHD, medication, meetings, family, parenting, money, work, mental health, cross-addiction, and all the weird, messy stuff that comes with learning how to live again.
Some conversations are serious. Some are uncomfortable. Some are hilarious. Most are probably a bit of all three.
We’ll talk about our own experiences, bring in people with stories worth hearing, get experts involved when we need them, and hand plenty of the conversation over to you, with anonymous confessions, dilemmas, questions and opinions from people who actually live this stuff.
There’s no pretending we’ve got recovery completely figured out and no assumption that there’s one right way to do it.
In this deeply honest and emotional episode of Recovery Talks 24/7, Josh sits down with Donna to explore a journey that goes far beyond addiction — a journey of self-recovery.
Donna opens up about a childhood shaped by instability, loss, and feeling unseen. Growing up around alcoholism, facing bereavement, and navigating life without a strong support system left lasting impacts that followed her into adulthood.
She speaks candidly about battling severe anxiety, insecurity, and destructive thought patterns — from a victim mindset to self-sabotage — and how not knowing who she truly was led to toxic relationships, reckless decisions, and ultimately hitting rock bottom.
But this isn’t where her story ends.
Donna shares the turning point that forced her to confront everything… and the reality of what it takes to rebuild yourself from the inside out. From therapy and deep self-reflection to learning how to love herself, she takes us through the raw, unfiltered truth of healing.
Today, Donna is living a completely different life — grounded, self-aware, in a healthy relationship, raising her children, and finally at peace with who she is.
This episode is a powerful reminder that recovery isn’t just about substances — it’s about unlearning, rebuilding, and becoming someone you’re proud of.
If you’ve ever felt lost, stuck in cycles, or disconnected from yourself… this conversation will speak to you.
🎙️ Real stories. Real recovery. Real change.
