Will had a good job and a nice house. He was looking for a wife, someone to build a future and a home with. When he met Maddie, they fell fast! 

She was a strong, independent woman and knew what she liked. Turns out that was a mask. Beneath the mask he found a woman who was afraid, isolating and controlling. When he tried to have boundaries their capacity for compatibility started to wane.

This story is fresh and in the details you may find lots of areas that you can relate to. For example, being manipulated, moving for someone or feeling unappreciated, being overly generous and ultimately feeling threatened.  

Join Will as he navigates reconciling the loss of love or what he thought would be his future...

Heather started to fall head over heels for this new guy. He made her feel like she was the center of the universe and she loved it, until it became intense and painful. 

His behavior was manipulative and confusing. Even though she got out, she hasn't been able to shake what happened. Together, Heather and I go off the grid and unpack what happened in another dimension. It's uncomfortable, edgy and liberating!

Lacey’s story is quite non-linear. 

She started out as a wild college girl whose daily lifestyle included drinking, using drugs and endless partying. Sex was like a sport, a game to win - the more men, the more power, the more she knew she was wanted and desired.

After college, she found herself falling in love with a music dj, Thomas. Thomas was a high school dropout also deep into drinking, drugs and partying. Their love was immediate, within a week they knew they’d get married. 

They gave up drinking and drugs for a temporary time together - to cleanse and detox. They even promised to wait to have sex until they got hitched. Not much else changed - they still went to the parties and still chilled with the same friends. 

Marriage happened. They invited a woman in to the relationship as a sexual partner. A month passed, they agreed to end it with the paramour. However, Thomas didn’t let her go. He started seeing her behind his wife’s back. 

We get to hear: how Lacey’s bad trip on mushrooms was a come to Jesus moment,  how she survived emotional abuse, an affair, and the inevitable breakup of her marriage. BUT their story doesn’t end there! Thomas recovers from his dark ways and earns a second chance. You could say they have a gift of VICTORY! They are still married, have both done 180’s and have a heck of a story!

Molly was happily married. She and her daughters watched the man they knew and loved go through a confusing and painful transformation. His behavior changed, he stopped working, he suffered from chronic pain, he became secretive and forgetful. 

No one knew why or what caused all these changes. Eventually, they learned he had alcohol induced dementia. This diagnosis didn't help make things better but it gave some clarity to the circumstance they were now faced with.
