Have you ever stopped to think about how the words you use impact the way you experience your life? The way you see your loved one? Yourself?

In this episode, I'm pulling apart the labels and narratives that keep people stuck—words like addict, alcoholic, junkie—and questioning whether they truly help or if they reinforce the very struggles we’re trying to break free from.

Isn't your loved one was more than their addiction? Aren't you more than the spouse or loved one of someone struggling?

If you’ve ever felt like addiction has taken over your identity or that the world around you sees your loved one as nothing more than their worst moments, this conversation is for you. Let’s reframe the way we speak about addiction and step into something more powerful.

Maybe you’ve caught yourself saying, “My husband is an addict.” Or “My dad’s an alcoholic.” Maybe you’ve even labeled yourself: “I’m the wife of an addict.”

But here’s the question: Is that helping?
