In this episode, we delve into how infidelity, alcohol misuse, and family trauma can devastate lives, while exploring what real mental health recovery looks like.

Join us for a candid discussion on betrayal, trauma, and suicidal ideation, as well as practical recovery tools that help rebuild lives without erasing the past.
We shine a light on the impact of betrayal trauma on a family’s dynamics and how recognizing alcohol as a coping trap can open paths toward healing.

Josh shares insights on co-parenting for child stability without weaponizing them, along with strategies for establishing accountability, boundaries, and making room for repair.
Listeners will benefit from understanding how to rebuild trust and identity while honoring the past, providing a roadmap for personal growth and recovery.
