Write us your Wild Confessions, questions or ANYTHING!

This episode goes deep. I’m joined by a dear friend to talk about something close to both of our hearts — addiction and how it affects the ones who love them. She bravely shares her story of losing her brother to alcoholism, while I open up about living with my own mother’s addiction and the complicated emotions that come with it.

We talk about what it means to love someone through their struggle without losing yourself, how to set boundaries without guilt, and how to hold space for grief and hope at the same time. My friend also shares an incredible book that helped her understand the emptiness that addiction fills — and why alcohol often becomes the companion they can’t let go of.

It’s raw, vulnerable, and honest — but it’s also full of compassion. If you’ve ever loved someone battling addiction, this conversation is for you.
