We’ve talked about anxiety, addiction, boundaries, and emotional breakdowns… So this week? We’re keeping it light.

In this episode, we’re answering rapid-fire questions about marriage, recovery, and real life — no prep, no script, just honest (and sometimes ridiculous) answers from both of us.

We cover things like:

• Who’s more dramatic (spoiler: we both have thoughts)
• What recovery has helped us laugh at now
• The Target aisles we can’t stay away from
• And the weird little things saving our sanity right now
This episode is pure exhale. Zero fixing. Just fun, real talk, and a reminder that healing doesn’t have to be heavy all the time.

🎧 Listen if you need:

• • A break from the serious stuff
  • A reason to laugh (or feel less alone in your weirdness)
  • To remember that recovery includes joy too

In this episode, we talk about our personal experiences with anxiety — and how it’s shown up in recovery, relationships, and the pressure to hold it all together.

Jay shares about how and where his anxiety started, being diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder after getting sober, the surprising ways it impacted his healing, and how medication and support changed the game.

Jennifer opens up about how people-pleasing and perfectionism became ways to avoid the uncomfortable truth: she was anxious all the time and didn’t know how to stop.

What if the thing that’s actually keeping you stuck… is trying to hold everything together?

In this episode, we talk about powerlessness — not as weakness, but as the beginning of real peace. Because whether it’s addiction, anxiety, control, or just trying to keep everyone else happy… eventually we all hit a point where white-knuckling life doesn’t work anymore.

We get real about:

• • What powerlessness actually looks like (and what it doesn’t)
  • Our own stories of trying to control things we couldn’t
  • The moment we realized that letting go wasn’t giving up — it was freedom

• This one isn’t just for people in recovery. It’s for anyone who’s exhausted from pretending they’re fine.
