addiction doesn’t just impact the person struggling—it affects everyone around them. in this deeply personal episode, i’m opening up about what it’s been like to support loved ones through addiction and everything that comes with it: the fear, the frustration, the grief, and the quiet hope that never really leaves.

i share real stories from my own life—what i’ve seen, what i’ve learned, and how it’s shaped me. we’re talking about the emotional weight of watching someone you love self-destruct, the guilt of not being able to fix it, and the strength it takes just to keep showing up.

this episode is for anyone who’s been there—whether you’re supporting someone, healing from it yourself, or just trying to understand the chaos addiction brings into a family. this one’s about honesty, heartbreak, and holding onto hope. always.
