Welcome back to The Brown Couch Show — the gnarliest, most real, addiction, recovery, and mental health podcast on the internet. In today’s episode, we’re diving into: “This Sh*t Hurts Everyone” — the brutal truth that addiction doesn’t just destroy the person using… it burns through everything and everyone in its path.

SPOILER ALERT: You’re not the only one who suffered. Your mom. Your partner. Your best friend. That old lady at the gas station you screamed at on day four of withdrawal. This disease? It’s a wrecking ball with no fucking GPS.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:
💧The ripple effect of addiction — how it hijacks relationships, trust, and even the people who love you most.
😣 The guilt and shame we carry for the damage we’ve done
❤️‍🩹 Why healing also means taking accountability — not just for yourself, but for the wreckage left behind.
🗣️ Real talk from someone who’s BEEN that tornado and had to face the wreckage head-on

Welcome back to The Brown Couch Show — the rawest, realest addiction and recovery podcast out there.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into the messy, painful truth about burning bridges you never wanted to burn — the ones that meant something, the ones that still haunt you, and the ones you didn’t realize were gone until it was too late.

SPOILER ALERT: This one’s gonna sting — because we’re talking pride, pain, misunderstanding, and all the shit that gets in the way of real connection.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:
🔥 The bridges I lit without thinking
💔 The ones I didn’t want to lose
🧠 How trauma and ego can torch relationships silently
🗣️ The conversations I wish I had before it was too late
🪞What it taught me about accountability, healing, and moving forward without closure

Whether you’re newly sober, still in the trenches, or just trying to understand yourself better, this one’s for you. If you’ve ever felt like you’re gripping life by the throat and still slipping, this is your wake-up call.

This ain’t sugarcoated. It’s loud, it’s real, and it’s from someone who’s been there — and lived to talk about it.

Welcome back to The Brown Couch Show — the rawest, realest addiction and recovery podcast out there. In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves: that we’re in control of our lives. Spoiler alert — we’re not. At least not when we’re ruled by addiction, fear, trauma, and ego.

For years, I thought I had everything under control. I thought white-knuckling my way through life was strength. I thought addiction was just a bad habit I could “manage.” But what I really had was chaos dressed up as control. And that sh*t nearly killed me.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:
• What “control” actually means in the context of addiction and recovery
• How the illusion of control feeds denial, fear, and relapse
• My personal story of trying to control everything — and losing everything
• What it took for me to finally let go and take real power back
• Practical tips to start surrendering the right way — not giving up, but giving in to healing
• How surrender isn’t weakness — it’s where real freedom begins

Whether you’re newly sober, still in the trenches, or just trying to understand yourself better, this one’s for you. If you’ve ever felt like you’re gripping life by the throat and still slipping, this is your wake-up call.

This ain’t sugarcoated. It’s loud, it’s real, and it’s from someone who’s been there — and lived to talk about it.

In this episode of The Brown Couch Show, we dive into one of the biggest myths of sobriety — that anxiety magically disappears. (Spoiler: it doesn’t.) I open up about my personal experience with anxiety after getting sober, how I learned to manage and cope with it, and ways you can start recognizing and working through your own anxiety in recovery.
We’ll talk about real tools, real struggles, and real stories — no sugarcoating. If you’re newly sober, thinking about getting clean, or just navigating life after addiction, this one’s for you.

In this episode of The Brown Couch Show, I break down the meaning behind the name—why this couch, and why now. It’s more than just a piece of furniture… it’s where stories unfold, memories resurface, and healing begins. I share the raw, real-life symbolism behind the couch and how it ties into my journey through addiction, sobriety, and everything in between.

This show is about the nitty-gritty stuff—addiction, mental health, trauma, recovery, anxiety, and the messy process of becoming whole again. If you’ve ever felt broken, lost, or just needed a place to sit with your thoughts… welcome home.
