Sometimes the people who hurt us the most are the ones we grew up with.

This episode was one of the hardest ones I’ve recorded.

For years, I protected people in my story.

Today, I stopped protecting the silence.

In this episode of Unchained, I talk about a kind of trauma people rarely talk about — the kind that happens inside your own home. The kind where you still wake up the next morning, share a bathroom, sit at the same table, and pretend everything is normal.

My brother and I shared a childhood, a home, and a mother. But some things happened that changed our relationship forever.

This episode isn’t about revenge.

It’s about truth.

And it’s about healing out loud.

If you’ve ever carried something painful from a place that was supposed to be safe, I hope this episode reminds you of something important:

You are not crazy.

You are not weak.

And you are not alone.

New episodes every Tuesday at midnight.

For years I believed I was the problem.

In this episode I talk about trauma, survival, addiction, and the moment I realized I was never broken — I was just trying to survive things I didn’t deserve.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re too far gone… this episode is for you.

Sobriety wasn’t a straight line for me.

I’ve had more Day Ones than I can count — and every relapse came with so much shame that I stayed stuck longer than I had to.

In this episode, I talk about the cycle no one posts about: relapse, self-hatred, and learning how to get back up faster.

This isn’t about being perfect.

It’s about not living in the fall.

Five years sober — because I stopped hating myself when I struggled.
