50 - Why You Can’t Find Peace Without Discomfort

from Addiction Makes Three

You just want peace. Peace in your home. Peace in your relationship. Peace in your body. But here’s the hard truth no one talks about: The real peace? It’s on the other side of discomfort. In this milestone episode, Amanda gets raw and real about what it actually takes to reclaim your voice and protect your peace when you’re in a relationship impacted by addiction. We unpack: Why the “path of least resistance” keeps you stuck What happens when you abandon yourself to keep the peace How to start flexing your discomfort muscle (without diving straight into deep-end convos) Client stories that show this shift in real life And how YOU can start choosing the kind of “hard” that leads to healing You don’t have to blow things up. You don’t have to confront every moment. But you do deserve to stop abandoning your truth. ✨ For spouses and loved ones who are looking for resources and support: If you haven’t the Crisis Conversation Guide (What to say and what not to say when addiction takes over) ?

The Anonymous Eskimo Podcast Ralph Sara The Anonymous Eskimo Podcast is an Indigenous podcast devoted to uplift Indigenous peoples, with a mission to send hope to those struggling with the negative stigma placed upon mental health issues, the disease of alcoholism, and drug addiction. To also bring awareness to the MMIWG2S & MMIP crisis. Through guests sharing their experiences, inspiration, strength, and hope. I want to break the stigma that is associated with indigenous people, mental health and recovery. Host: Ralph Sara Explicit Openly Terrified Evan Van Helden Hey hey, and welcome to Openly Terrified! I’m Evan—socially awkward, emotionally chaotic, and somehow still choosing to talk into a mic. This little podcast is basically a live-stream of my brain, where all my weird thoughts come to hang out and stretch their legs. Despite being a professional introvert, something about rambling here makes my soul do a happy little dance. So if you’re into overthinking, oversharing, or just vibing in a judgment-free zone—stick around. I saved you a metaphorical beanbag chair. Explicit The Kebab Show Chris McCoy Cecil, Cody, and Chris are three friends who connected in their early years of the military. The three of them were stationed in Sicily together for several years where they all had a blast. Listen in as they discuss the good old times along with guest. They talk about nothing in particular but discuss everything! Explicit Romancing The Screen Katherine O'Keefe, Annie Spong, Rachel Lee Flesher A podcast hosted by three experienced intimacy coordinators — Rachel Lee Flesher (they/she/he), Katherine O’Keefe (she/her), and Annie Spong (she/her).

They'll also share insightful stories from their experiences on (and off!) set working as ICs. In each episode, they attempt to unravel the standards, culture, and complexities surrounding intimacy and nudity in the entertainment industry, offering their three unique perspectives. As pioneers in a surprisingly new profession, Katherine, Annie, and Rachel aim to demystify the role of intimacy coordinators – addressing the need for ICs and why intimacy coordination is a crucial part of filmmaking.
