81 - A Personal Update: Grief, Losing My Voice, and Why I’m Here

from Addiction Makes Three

This episode is a little different. I wanted to sit down and share a personal update, what’s been happening behind the scenes for me, why I went quiet for a while, and what I’ve been navigating over the past few months. Just before Christmas, I received some devastating news. A dear friend of mine, Jack Nagel, passed away suddenly. This episode is me trying to put words to that experience. The grief, the shock, the strange loneliness of grief when you lose someone you didn’t share “people” with… and how it, to be honest, completely stopped me in my tracks. I found myself quietly paralysed and questioning everything. My voice. My work. Whether anything I was saying even mattered. This grief felt so familiar in a way, yet so different. That grief where it just feels so heavy, where you’re quietly carrying something that no one else can really see or understand. 👉 If you need support: My DMs are always open on Instagram: @addictionmakesthree 1️⃣ Book a Friendly Chat: Explore what working together could look like because you’ve been trying “this way” long enough, and it’s not helping anyone. 👉 Click here to find a time 2️⃣ Join the Pathway to Wellness Waitlist: My signature program helps you rebuild your life alongside (or beyond) a loved one’s addiction — with calm, confidence, and community 👉 Join the waitlist here Hosted on Acast.

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.
