In this episode of Brazen Recovery, we sit down with Drew Boa, founder of Husband Material and host of the new podcast Start Younger, to dismantle the silence and fear around one of the most critical issues facing parents today.

Too many parents stay frozen in fear—worried that bringing up the topic might introduce their kids to something they aren't ready for. But staying quiet isn't protecting them; it's just leaving the culture to educate them first.

Stepping into a room full of strangers to talk about your deepest secrets, addictions, and relational failures is one of the most terrifying things you can do—and one of the most transformative.

In this episode, we pull back the curtain on recovery groups. We share our personal, raw experiences of what it actually felt like to walk through those doors for the very first time, the bad advice we had to filter out, and why isolated healing is an illusion.

Whether you're struggling with sexual addiction, betrayal trauma, or emotional control, finding the right group culture is essential. We break down the differences between 12-Step programs, Christ-centered recovery ministries, and clinical support groups so you can find the room where you finally feel safe enough to heal.

👋 WELCOME TO EPISODE 1 OF THE BRAZEN RECOVERY PODCAST

Marriage is hard enough. Marriage built on top of active sexual addiction, hidden shame and secrets is a ticking time bomb.

In this premier episode, Jacob and Miriam strip away the "everything is fine" mask and lay out the raw, unedited truth of their own story. From the shockwave of discovery and the devastating weight of betrayal trauma, to the terrifying realization that willpower alone wasn't going to fix this—this is the real account of what happened when the secrets finally collapsed.

No fairy-tale Hollywood endings. No sanitized church-answer platitudes. Just two people stepping out of the shadows, facing the wreckage of compulsive sexual behavior, and doing the grueling, necessary work of rebuilding a marriage from the studs up.

Whether you are silently wrestling with addiction yourself, reeling from betrayal, or feeling completely isolated in your marriage—you are not alone, and you don't have to fake it here.
