How do you keep from spiraling into anger, panic, or tears… when all you want is peace?

In this episode, you’ll learn four simple, calm scripts you can use the next time he comes home drunk — to help you protect your peace, avoid escalation, and stay emotionally grounded.

You’ll hear:
💛 The mindset shift that helps you stay steady when he’s not
