In this week’s episode, I sit down with Steve Smallcalder as he shares his personal journey with alcohol with honesty and courage. Steve opens up about the moments that shaped him, the challenges he faced, and the steps he took to rebuild his life.

We explore:
• The point where he knew something had to change
• The emotional and mental realities behind addiction
• How he worked to restore trust in himself
• What recovery truly looks like day-to-day
• The mindset shifts that supported his growth

This conversation is real, reflective, and deeply human offering insight, hope, and a reminder that change is possible at any stage.
