Disowned by his family.Divorced.Alienated from his children.Six surgeries in six years.Falsely accused, arrested, and pushed to the brink of suicide.

And somehow… Craig is still standing.

In this powerful episode, Craig Tulczyn joins me fromAustralia to share his story of surviving family trauma, divorce, parental alienation, chronic pain, false accusations, depression, and emotional abuse - while rebuilding his life from the ground up.

We talk about:
• toxic family relationships
• losing friends after divorce
• fighting to stay connected to your children
• workplace injury and chronic pain
• mental health struggles and suicidal thoughts
• being falsely accused and arrested
• trauma recovery and resilience
• healing after emotional devastation
• and finding purpose after rock bottom

Craig also opens up about how he turned years of pain,betrayal, and survival into helping others heal through coaching and support.

This episode is raw, emotional, inspiring, funny in unexpected moments, and deeply honest about what it really looks like to survive impossible situations and keep going anyway.

Welcome to the very first episode of This, That & The Trouble, a new monthly bonus series from No Hard Feelings…Kinda.

And yes…you asked for it - so she’s back. Shiri joins JoJo for unfiltered, real-life conversations about the stories that didn’t end where you thought they did.

In this episode, we’re diving into a situation that had us questioning everything - what really happened, what it felt like in the moment, and what we understand now looking back. Let’s just say…not everything was said the first time.

This is where we go beyond the surface. The messy middle, the misunderstood moments, and the truths that only come out in conversation.

Because there’s always more to the story…

and it’s time to set the record straight.

If you can relate to JoJo's brain going rogue and not cooperating with her...then you might want to try these dopamine patches made by Veliza. And just so you know, anything you purchase through this link helps support the show! So thank you!
