Stephanie Weinert is a Catholic wife, mother of four, convert to the Catholic faith, and founder of Mother & Home Ministries (motherandhome.co), a motherhood collective created to refresh the hearts and minds of women navigating the sacred, demanding, and beautiful vocation of motherhood. But her path to this work was forged through profound suffering, loss, and ultimately, redemption. Before motherhood reshaped her life, Stephanie considered herself deeply health-conscious and wellness-minded. She valued nutrition, movement, and intentional living. Yet nothing could have prepared her for the moment in 2019 when her son Beckett's birth made her a special-needs mother overnight. The complexity of his medical needs, the emotional weight of caregiving, and the daily fight to keep him safe transformed her understanding of motherhood, dependence, and faith. Eighteen months later, Beckett died. His death shattered Stephanie's world. In the aftermath of trauma and grief, her own health began to unravel. Hormonal dysfunction, exhaustion, anxiety, and physical decline pushed her into what she describes as “a pit I didn't think I would ever climb out of.” The woman who once felt vibrant and capable now struggled to recognize herself. But this was not the end of her story. Stephanie began searching for answers — first medically, then holistically, and eventually spiritually. What she discovered was that true healing could not exist in only one dimension. It wasn't just about labs. It wasn't just about supplements. It wasn't just about diet or sleep. Healing required addressing the whole person: the physical body and hormonal systems, the nervous system and trauma stored within it, the emotional wounds of grief and identity loss, the psychological toll of caregiving and chronic stress, and ultimately, the spiritual surrender of a heart learning again how to trust. “For in Him we live and move and have our being.” (Acts 17:28) Stephanie speaks candidly about the reality that healing is rarely linear. There were setbacks. Plateaus. Relapses. Moments of despair. And then small breakthroughs that slowly compounded into stability, clarity, and renewed strength. Through hormone balancing, root-cause medicine, nervous system regulation, faith, prayer, and intentional living, she began to rebuild not only her health — but her sense of purpose. Second, our brand-new Perimenopause Course is officially live. For just $97, women can dive into a simple, science-backed approach to navigating hormonal shifts with clarity, confidence, and peace.

In this episode, we speak with Synary Be, a resilient survivor of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), who shares her powerful journey of enduring three bone marrow transplants over eight years. Diagnosed suddenly in March 2017, Synary's story begins with a high fever that led to a shocking diagnosis: 93% leukemia. From that point on, her life transformed into a series of hospital stays, treatments, and moments that tested her strength and spirit.We learn how her first transplant involved two umbilical cord donors, one from the U.S. and another from Singapore. When that failed to graft, her younger brother flew from Australia to donate for her second transplant—a 50% match. After two years in remission, she relapsed again and required a third transplant, this time from her older brother, right in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. With travel restrictions in place, the donor cells had to be processed remotely and shipped to Stanford, showcasing the remarkable role of medical technology in saving lives.Despite being given only a 50% chance of survival for her third transplant, Synary put her trust in her doctors. Though she relapsed again, she now maintains remission through chemo pills. With no long-term data available for this new medication, she continues treatment cautiously and with optimism, trusting in the advancement of medicine.Synary spends some time opening up about the chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) that followed her transplants. She explains its impact on her lungs, eyes, mouth, nails, and skin, detailing both the physical symptoms and the treatments that have helped her reclaim daily life. From scleral lenses to serum tears, to pulmonary rehab and steroid creams, she educates us on the challenges and management of GVHD.Beyond the physical toll, Synary discusses the mental health struggles tied to long-term illness—particularly anxiety from repeated hospitalizations. She emphasizes the importance of therapy, meditation, support groups, and the courage to seek help. Her words serve as a reminder that managing chronic illness includes caring for both mind and body.Synary's story wouldn't be complete without acknowledging her support system. Her husband, who acted as her full-time caregiver through 300 cumulative days of hospitalization, and her three children, endured major sacrifices. Friends and community support filled in the gaps, underscoring that no one should navigate transplant recovery alone.Even in the face of isolation, fatigue, and anxiety, Synary finds joy in simple pleasures: watching Christmas movies, going for walks, and spending time with family. Her message is clear—life is still good. And GVHD, while challenging, cannot take away her joy.Calm App — https://www.calm.comThanks to our Season 19 sponsors, Incyte and Sanofi.https://incyte.com/https://www.sanofi.com/en00:40 - Introduction to Synary Be01:20 - AML Diagnosis and First Transplant03:10 - Transplants and Donor Challenges04:06 - Relapses and Chemo Maintenance06:44 - Living with GVHD12:15 - GVHD Symptoms and Treatments13:40 - Support System and Caregiving15:34 - Isolation After Transplants16:38 - Mental Health & Anxiety19:03 - Coping and Finding Joy20:36 - Final Thoughts and Message of Hope National Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/nbmtLINK Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKFollow the nbmtLINK on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/nbmtlink/The nbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.To participate in the GVHD Mosaic, click here: https://amp.livemosaics.com/gvhd Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Can you be the "perfect mom" while secretly drinking around the clock? In this raw and honest conversation, Rebecca Greene sits down with Emily Redondo, author of Wife Mother Drunk: An Intergenerational Memoir of Loss and Love. From the outside, Emily had it all—four kids, a loving husband, and the picture-perfect family life. But behind closed doors, she was hiding bottles, cycling through seven rehab stays, and battling the shame that comes with chronic relapse. Emily opens up about what it's really like to struggle with alcohol addiction as a mother, why relapse doesn't mean failure, and how generational trauma shaped her relationship with drinking. This isn't a neat redemption story—it's the messy, complicated truth about recovery while raising kids, the unrealistic expectations we place on mothers, and why simply "quitting" isn't always the answer. In this episode, you'll discover: ➤ Why Emily's "perfect mom" appearance masked years of hidden drinking and multiple rehab stays ➤ The reality of chronic relapse and why it doesn't look like the stereotypical image of an "alcoholic mom" ➤ How generational patterns and her own mother's alcoholism influenced Emily's journey ➤ The changes Emily had to make at home beyond just getting sober—including boundaries, dividing household labor, and honest conversations with her kids ➤ Why self-care for mothers goes far beyond bubble baths and manicures Two powerful quotes from Emily "I never, ever quit trying. There was not like this point where it was like, I'm just gonna quit trying to quit. It was every day, every single day." "The more I wallow in what's happened and try to grapple with how terrible I was as a mom, then the more I'm robbing myself of right now. I've used up all the time to do that, and now I'm gonna get over it."

They are often called 'circuit speakers,' - they tell their 12-Step stories to thousands of people all around the world. Newcomers often hang on their every word. What happens when ego and pride sideswipe sobriety? RC2C host Neil Scott shares a conversation he recently had while down in Texas, with a woman who was in demand as a 'circuit speaker'. With ego and pride as a backdrop, she fell from grace back into the depths of her disease. Again. Yet it was that same grace that brought her back into the fellowship and 14 years of continuous sobriety. A lesson taught; a lesson learned. And today's 'Last Word' goes to Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter MacLemore, who is ever-reminded that sobriety is but a daily reprieve!

Patients relapse. It happens.But here's the kicker: when it does, most chiropractors lose them.Why? Because patients think pain returning means chiropractic didn't work. They forget their progress. They default to meds. They look for another “cure.”In this episode, Martin breaks down the psychology behind relapses and shows you how to handle them and keep people engaged with chiropractic:Recency bias – why people judge you on how they feel today, not the months of progress behind them.Availability heuristic – why “pills and doctors” feel safer when they're in pain.Cognitive dissonance – why it's easier for patients to switch to medical care when they have a relapse.And most importantly… what to do about it.You'll learn:How to pre-frame flare-ups so patients aren't blindsided.The yes, and approach to validate frustration while reframing a relapse.Analogies (like the “healing scab”) that make setbacks feel like part of the healing process—not a failure.Why certainty beats uncertainty—and how a specific plan keeps patients from drifting away.Relapses aren't the end of the story.

What if recovery isn't about a finish line but about finding meaning in the messy middle? In this episode of Dr. Marianne-Land: An Eating Disorder Recovery Podcast, Dr. Marianne Miller welcomes journalist, professor, and author Mallary Tenore Tarpley to talk about her groundbreaking new book, Slip: Life in the Middle of Eating Disorder Recovery. Mallary shares her powerful story of developing anorexia at age 12 after her mother's death, navigating years of treatment, and later facing a decade-long cycle of bingeing and restricting. She describes how she reframed her experience through the concept of “The Middle Place,” which is a space between acute illness and full recovery where slips are not failures but opportunities for growth. Through her lens as a journalist and storyteller, Mallary highlights the importance of expanding the language of recovery. Instead of labeling experiences as “quasi-recovery” or “pseudo-recovery,” she offers a more compassionate and nuanced perspective...one that validates ongoing struggles while still holding space for progress and hope.

Tobias bravely shares the heart-wrenching saga of his older brother, Elijah Stroman, wrongfully incarcerated at 18 for 23 years of a 37-year sentence, only to be released by the Washington State Department of Corrections with no guidance, housing, or counseling. Tragically, just seven months after tasting freedom, Elijah lost his life to a fentanyl-laced batch of cocaine in a hotel room, days before his 42nd birthday. Tobias recounts the family's devastation during the trial, his mother's nightly tears, and their relentless fight—fueled by attorneys and a private investigator—to prove Elijah's innocence. As a young teen, Tobias grew up fast, taking jobs and entering real estate and life insurance to fund costly legal battles, all to bring his brother home. He opens up about his own descent into addiction—alcohol, cocaine, and ecstasy—trying to numb the pain of Elijah's absence, losing a job, marriage, and home along the way. A pivotal moment came driving from Arizona to California at 2 a.m., when a misdownloaded sermon and a minivan with a cross led Tobias to cry out for God's help, launching his journey into AA and sobriety. Despite a relapse after Elijah's viewing, Tobias called his sponsor, recommitted, and now channels his grief into a powerful vision: raising fentanyl awareness, opening a detox facility and sober living home, and advocating for those released from prison to navigate a world of challenges Elijah never mastered.#TheHopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #RecoveryIsPossible #Hope #wedorecover Join our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Follow the Hopeaholics on our Socials:https://www.instagram.com/thehopeaholics https://linktr.ee/thehopeaholicsBuy Merch: https://thehopeaholics.myshopify.comVisit our Treatment Centers: https://www.hopebythesea.comIf you or a loved one needs help, please call or text 949-615-8588.

About M2 THE ROCK - MICHAEL MOLTHAN:Michael Molthan | M2 The Rock. I'm Michael Molthan, host of The M2 The Rock Show—one of the fastest-growing podcasts and shows on self-improvement, mental health, addiction recovery, and spiritual transformation.

Through raw and unfiltered discussions with experts, celebrities, thought leaders, and athletes, we uncover new perspectives on personal growth, recovery, and overcoming life's toughest challenges.My Story:What sets my journey apart is that there wasn't just one rock bottom—there were many. From being a successful luxury homebuilder to falling into addiction, homelessness, crime, and eventually 27 mugshots and prison, my life was in absolute chaos.Addiction was my temporary escape from childhood trauma, but it only led to destruction.It wasn't until I hit the lowest point imaginable that I finally found true freedom, redemption, and purpose. After an unexpected early release from prison in 2017, I walked 300 miles back to Dallas to turn myself in—only to be miraculously pardoned and told to “pay it forward.”And that's exactly what I've been doing ever since.My MissionI believe that rock bottom is not the end—it's a stepping stone to something greater.My goal is to redefine what "rock bottom" means by helping others rebuild their Spirit, Mind, and Body.On M2 The Rock, I speak openly about trauma, addiction, recovery, and the power of transformation. I don't shy away from topics like:✅ Trauma & Addiction – Understanding the root causes✅ Self-Sabotage & Mental Health – Breaking negative cycles✅ Codependency & Enabling – How relationships impact recovery✅ 12-Step Programs & Spiritual Healing – Finding true freedom✅ Religious Trauma & Personal Growth – Healing from past wounds"Everyone Is An Addict."Whether it's substances, work, validation, or negative thinking, we all have something we struggle with.But recovery is possible, and transformation is real.

In this episode I discuss giving recovery another go when you have a history of failed attempts and relapses. @amalielee | @letsrecover.co.uk | letsrecover.co.uk
In Episode 265, Mark & Steve discuss how recovery from porn and sex addiction often begins with external motivators, such as wanting to “get clean for her” or save a relationship. These external pressures serve as a crucial starting point, especially when addicts feel incapable of self-driven change. However, while these motivations may bring someone to the recovery process, they alone are insufficient for long-term success. Sustained recovery requires a shift toward internal motivation, where individuals focus on long-term sobriety, self-improvement, personal growth, and reclaiming their self-worth. This transition, while gradual, enables addicts to build a foundation of resilience, fueled by intrinsic rewards like freedom, self-respect, and authenticity.Here's a past PBSE podcast article that asks the question—As an Addict, are you “Weaponizing your Weaknesses” as a Reason to NOT Commit to and Live “Real” Recovery?For betrayed partners, navigating the complexities of recovery can be particularly challenging. The cyclical nature of progress and relapse often leads to emotional exhaustion, underscoring the importance of setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care. Partners are encouraged to support recovery without taking ownership of the addict's journey, allowing them to decide what they are willing to tolerate. Recovery for couples requires open communication and mutual respect, creating opportunities to rebuild trust and foster collaboration. When both parties commit to growth, the relationship becomes stronger and more fulfilling over time.In a past PBSE podcast, Mark & Steve address a very painful question that betrayed partners often ask—Do I Have to Accept that my Addict Partner, even in Successful Recovery, could Betray Me Again?!Another critical misconception in recovery is the idea of hitting “rock bottom” as a prerequisite for change. While dramatic wake-up calls can sometimes prompt action, lasting recovery stems from deliberate decisions, education, and early intervention. Addicts are encouraged to develop a support network and focus on internal transformation rather than external pressure. Ultimately, recovery is a progressive and collaborative process. By embracing setbacks as opportunities for growth and fostering open communication, addicts and their partners can cultivate a life of integrity, authenticity, and connection.In this PBSE podcast episode, Mark & Steve help addicts in recovery and their betrayed partners in "Defining Slips & Relapses"For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to: "As a Porn/sex Addict, does, "I Want to Get Clean for Her," or "Be Worthy of Her," work as a motive for Real Recovery?"Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at: Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at: Reclaim Counseling Services

Episode Highlights: Happy New Year from Molly and Clarissa!
In today's episode, I got to chat with a colleague who I got to meet in person for the first time recently, which was pretty magical. Lauren Garchow is a psychotherapist, mind-body coach, and chronic pain survivor based in Los Angeles, California. Her chronic pain healing journey revealed the mind's powerful ability to change and adapt, igniting her passion to support others in their mind-body healing. With over a decade of experience in the social work field, she currently owns a private practice where she focuses on helping women feel at home in their bodies. She has successfully guided numerous clients through diverse chronic pain challenges and physical symptoms, with a focus on providing relief for those struggling with dizziness. She helps clients understand the connections between individual, family, community, and societal systems, empowering them to explore their minds and bodies with curiosity and compassion. Lauren deeply values balance in her life. In order for her to show up whole-heartily in this work, she prioritizes having a full life outside of it. She loves listening to live music and currently leads live music shows for up-and-coming artists in Los Angeles. A big part of her healing journey was learning to have more FUN and lighten up on herself, so making time for community, play, and creativity is crucial for her in maintaining her mind-body connection. When Lauren and I spoke, we covered all of the above, plus she shared her experience with a major relapse in chronic pain — and how that relapse, which is a very common experience by the way, actually taught her more about the healing process, which she's about to share with you in this conversation.

In Episode 255, we talk about one of the most common stories we hear: a partner stuck in the rinse-and-repeat cycle of addiction and betrayal, trying desperately to keep the relationship afloat. We received an emotional, raw submission from a listener—“Heartbroken and Exhausted Wife”—who articulated her pain, frustration, and fatigue so clearly that her words resonate as a voice for countless others in similar situations.Her journey reflects years of enduring her husband's addiction to pornography and sexual behaviors. Over their 23-year marriage, the cycle has repeated itself again and again: discovery, apologies, promises of change, followed by a temporary calm before everything falls apart once more. This pattern isn't just exhausting—it's soul-crushing. It leaves partners wondering how much more they can give before they're completely depleted.The heartbreaking truth is that no matter how much love exists in a relationship, trust and safety are essential. Without these, even the strongest bonds begin to erode. Her love for her husband hasn't waned, but her ability to trust him has been battered by broken promises and actions that don't align with his words. It's no wonder she's reached a point of despair, questioning how to move forward.For those of us who have lived through addiction—on both sides—it's painfully clear how this happens. Addiction thrives in cycles. For the addict, it's easy to fall into a pattern of avoidance, short-term fixes, and empty promises. For the partner, it's easy to become consumed by the effort to keep things together. But unless the cycle is broken, both people remain trapped in their own version of suffering.In this episode, Mark & Steve get deep and personal in offering empathy and solutions for betrayed partners. They also talk directly to porn/sex addicts about what "real" recovery looks like. And why there is great HOPE for couples who find themselves in this deeply difficult place.

Andrew Browning, a gritty, California-born singer-songwriter whose new album Love is a Beautiful Thing (out 11/22) digs deep into the messy, raw truths of love and human connection. This is a record that stands out for its emotional honesty and layered narratives. The singer-songwriter delves into the complexities of love with a sound that is distinctly Californian—dark, irreverent, and pulsing with raw rock energy. The title track captures the dualities of passion and heartache, offering a personal reckoning, while songs like “Rock n Roll Cocaine” and “Dirty Girl” channel the gritty, rebellious spirit of California's rock scene. Tracks like “San Fernando” and “Rose Avenue and Main Street” paint vivid, evocative pictures of life in the Golden State. This album embraces the imperfections of love—its highs, lows, and everything in between—brought to life with massive production, powerful vocals, and big rock endings that showcase both Browning's roots and his narrative depth. We cover it all on the latest Load Out music podcast!
