The Surprising Joy of Rock Bottom
Hitting rock bottom sounds terrifying - but what if it’s actually the start of something better?
In this episode, Maggie and Tully open up about the times they burned it all down and had to rebuild from scratch. From ending marriages to walking away from entire lives, they share why starting over can feel freeing, what it teaches you about yourself, and why 'rock bottom' might just be your launch pad.
Expect honest stories, some tough therapy-style notes, and a homework assignment designed to help you let go of what’s holding you back. Because starting over isn’t about becoming someone new - it’s about shedding everything that was never truly you.
Along the way, they dig into Pamela Anderson’s surprise glow-up romance, call BS on toxic self-help clichés, and dish out their own therapy homework for anyone facing a fresh start.
