In a raw and powerful podcast, Ryan Bauduin, publicly known as “Ryan Off The Grid,” bares his soul as he recounts his harrowing journey to recovery from alcoholism. A former Marine Corps Infantryman with a combat deployment under his belt, Ryan's battle with the bottle began at a shockingly young age. From fifth grade to adulthood, his life was a blur of drinking, womanizing, and violence, all in an attempt to maintain a facade of strength. It took years for him to come to terms with the fact that he had a problem, and even longer to admit that he was an alcoholic. At his lowest point, he was consuming staggering amounts of rum every night. After a failed attempt at "normal" drinking after rehab, Ryan was diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety, and depression. By immersing himself in nature and dedicating himself to helping his fellow veterans, Ryan is embracing a life of sobriety and purpose. Join Ryan Off The Grid on his unfiltered journey of redemption, as he proves that even in the darkest of times, the human spirit can prevail.

In this powerful narrative, we witness a mother's journey of triumphing over fear with love. Angel and her husband Garrett faced the heart-wrenching challenges of infertility before finally conceiving through IVF. Their first pregnancy seemed promising, but tragically, their son Nolan was born prematurely at 20 weeks and passed away shortly after birth. Angel faced a life-threatening situation during this time, but emerged from it determined to try again.

Their second pregnancy, also through IVF, ended in the loss of their daughter Brooklyn at 19 weeks due to complications from an infection. It was then that Angel was diagnosed with an incompetent cervix, a condition that threatened future pregnancies. With careful monitoring and a solid plan in place, Angel and Garrett courageously embarked on a third round of IVF.

Despite the challenges, Angel's determination paid off when she gave birth to Grant at 25 weeks, surpassing the viability milestone for premature babies. Tragically, Grant lived for just 22 minutes, leaving Angel and Garrett devastated once more. In the face of unimaginable loss, Angel found solace in honoring her children's memories.

She launched a GoFundMe campaign to provide hospitals with CuddleCots™, devices that allow families to spend more time with their stillborn babies. Through this initiative, Angel and Garrett aim to support other grieving parents and ensure that hospitals have the resources to offer compassionate care.

This episode sheds light on the profound impact of CuddleCots™ and why Angel and Garrett advocate for their widespread availability. To contribute to their cause and help them fulfill their mission, please consider donating to their fundraiser at Fundraiser by Angel Carter : A wish to Grant-Support Angel & Garrett's CuddleCot Donation (gofundme.com)

Hosts interview Coach Tim Decorah.  He opens up about his journey with generalized anxiety disorder and how he has learned to overcome its debilitating symptoms. Tim has been dealing with anxiety since childhood, and while relationships and sports initially helped him cope, he eventually turned to alcohol to suppress his feelings as he grew older. 

Tim reflects on how society often stigmatizes men for showing vulnerability and seeking help, portraying it as a sign of weakness. However, Tim's turning point came when he realized the importance of addressing his anxiety in a healthy and proactive manner. By sharing his own struggles with mental health, Tim hopes to inspire and help others who may be going through similar challenges.
