Sarah survived cancer. And then she met Bud.

In this episode, Sarah opens up about what came after the diagnosis, the treatment, and the recovery — when she was at her most vulnerable and a man named Bud decided that was the right time to show her who he really was. Alcoholic. Emotionally abusive. Physically abusive. And completely unworthy of the woman who had just fought her way back from the edge.

This is a story about surviving twice. The illness that tried to take her body and the relationship that tried to take everything else.

Sarah is still here. And she has things to say.

We brought in an expert. And not just any expert — someone who lived it first.

In this special episode, Behk & LAH sit down with Bre Wolta — founder of Lucid Living, relationship clarity coach, and host of Heartbreak to Wholeness: Untangle the Mindf*ck of Narcissistic Relationships. Bre didn't just study narcissistic abuse. She survived it, rebuilt from it, and turned it into a life's mission helping others find their way out.

This one goes deep. Manipulation tactics, the cycle of abuse, reclaiming your self-worth, and the tools that actually work when you're trying to untangle your mind from someone who rewired it. Whether you're still in it or years out and still feeling the effects — Bre's insights will meet you exactly where you are.

This is the episode you send to someone who isn't ready to call it abuse yet. It might be the one that helps them get there.

We told you part two was a lot. We meant it.

In the conclusion of Buddy's story, things escalate in a direction nobody saw coming — including a stint in jail that changed everything. Again. Buddy takes us through the aftermath, the turmoil, and ultimately the clarity that only comes after you've been through something truly unhinged.

Stay until the end. Buddy has something to say to the men listening — about mental health, about therapy, about asking for help — and it's the kind of message that doesn't get said enough on podcasts like this one or anywhere else.

Four months of long distance. One whirlwind proposal. What could go wrong?

In part one of Buddy's story, he takes us through the romance that felt like fate and the marriage that revealed itself to be something far more complicated. Severe bipolar disorder. Alcoholism. And a series of red flags that made perfect sense in hindsight and absolutely none in the moment.

We're leaving you on a cliffhanger. Part two is coming — and it's a lot.

We brought in our most important guest yet — Behk's 11-year-old daughter. And honestly? She might be the wisest one in the room.

In this special kid-friendly episode, LAH sits down with Behk's daughter for a conversation about relationships, boundaries, consent, red flags, and the absolute drama of the 5th grade dance where basically everyone ended up crying over a boy. She has thoughts. Many of them. All of them correct.

This one is joyful, funny, and genuinely moving — a reminder that kids understand more than we give them credit for, and that starting these conversations early matters more than we know.

Perfect for listening with the young people in your life. 💜
