Grief looks different for everyone—and in this episode, we explore just how wide that spectrum can be. Justin shares the deep loss of his mum, someone he loved dearly and had a beautiful, close relationship with. Kim opens up about losing her dad, a relationship that was complicated, painful, and shaped by abuse and distance.

Together, we sit in the contrast of our experiences—love and loss, pain and relief, connection and conflict—and talk honestly about what it means to grieve when the relationships we’ve lost aren’t the same. This is a raw and real conversation about the many faces of grief, and how there’s no “right” way to feel when someone dies.

Episode 12

This week on Recovering Idiots, we are joined by the amazing Becc from The Wellness Couch Co, and WOW… nobody warned us it was going to be this much of a ride.

We dive headfirst into the wild world of perimenopause — from the “yep, that sounds normal” symptoms… to the “wait, THAT’S a symptom?!” moments that had us questioning everything.

Think brain fog, mood swings, and then some truly unhinged surprises (honestly, the human body is doing the most).

Becc helps us break down what’s actually happening in the body, how women can start supporting themselves before and during this transition, and ways to feel a little more in control when things feel… well… not.

We also chat about the unsung heroes — partners — and what they can do to support without accidentally making things worse (good luck 😅).

It’s real, it’s informative, it’s a little chaotic… and as always, we’re learning right alongside you.

Episode 11 Nice Guys, Nice Gals & The Boundary Struggle

Are you emotionally available, wildly accommodating… and completely exhausted? Congratulations, you might be a certified people pleaser.

In this episode, we unpack the unspoken rules of being the “nice one”—like saying yes when you mean no.

We talk about the absolute panic of setting boundaries, the guilt hangover that follows, and the internal meltdown of “they’re going to hate me” just because you didn’t reply within 3 minutes.

If you’ve ever smiled through something you hated, avoided conflict like it’s a full-time job, or said “it’s fine” when it was VERY MUCH NOT FINE… welcome. You’re our people.
