  • Unhooked, Recovery and Faith ?

    Can the Bible effect addiction and recovery? Does faith play a role? What if your community of faith has been a painful, abusive, condemning and outcasting experience and you've been damaged?


    How can faith then apply and parlay into helping relationships surging with conflict, addiction, alcohol or dysfunction?


    These are some painful, deep questions I have struggled with in my own life. I don't pretend to have all the answers even still! But I'm happy and eager to have the conversations.


    In this new season of The Unhooked Podcast we will take an honest look into all things recovery when it comes to addiction, alcoholism, recovery and "church folk."

  • Feelings of Jealousy and Envy

    This episode of “The Unhooked Podcast” 🥊 takes a look at: “Feelings of Jealousy and envy.” 


    Just to keep it real...it can sometimes be hard to see others living their BEST lives, seeing pictures of holidays, weddings, graduations, social media perfection (or running into them in the grocery store as we are dying on the inside), when we are going through one of our WORST seasons of life. What do we do when it hurts to see and wish others well, because our lives seem to be on hold?  


    Or...even disastrous.   


    When our kids, partner, or family are off running wild and involved in scary behaviors, when all we want is "normal?" It's common to feel those pangs of jealousy and embarrassment from time to time—listen in as I personally relate!

  • How Many Friends Have Deleted You lately?
    “The Unhooked Podcast” 🥊
    • How many friends have deleted you lately?
    In this short episode we take a look at applying recovery principles to the way people handle differences of beliefs and opinions these days.
    (Note: for the sake of clarity, when it comes to keeping in mind that you could be wrong when you go at someone - regarding the part about the message I received in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, it's interesting that the point this person felt she needed to make ended up being incorrect.  She came out of no where, furious, shaming and finger wagging...only to be inaccurate.)
    Can we take a breath before we write someone off (or cuss them out) about how they view things?
