Show Notes
In this one, I sit down with Hanna for a real, honest chat about addiction, sobriety, and everything in between. She opens up about growing up in a family where drinking was just normal, the way of life, and how that shaped her views and choices early on.
There was no big rock bottom moment for her, no lightning bolt or wake-up call. Just pain, struggle, and a quiet knowing that something had to change. That alone makes this story powerful. It’s a reminder that sometimes it doesn’t take some massive blow-up to start doing the work, just honesty.
Hanna shares how hypnotherapy helped her soften, let go, and actually feel what needed to be felt. No more running, no more hiding, just showing up and being with herself. That shift changed everything.
We get right into the mess and beauty of sobriety, not just staying off the drinks, but facing the stuff underneath it all. Stress, trauma, stories, patterns, all of it. We talk about ADHD, chasing dopamine, and how she’s now found herself addicted to the journey of sobriety, to growth, truth, and feeling it all.
There’s laughs, there’s truth, and there’s plenty to sit with. If you’ve ever been through it, or you’re in it now, this one might land for you.

Back into full time construction now so time’s a bit limited. These descriptions can suck up more energy than the podcast itself, so I’m keeping them simple from here.
Watene sat down with me and opened the door to parts of his life that most people would rather keep locked away. We spoke about a childhood shaped by chaos, a rough upbringing, gangs, anger, violence, addiction, and the kind of environments that can either swallow you whole or forge something powerful inside you.
This episode we covered a few topics around kids and phones, Corey collapsing in the middle of no where and to be honest we don’t really know what else we spoke about 😂 so if you wanna come along for the good times, have a listen🎙️👌
Sat down with Josh Hupfeld, the creator of the Better Half Journal, and just had a real, grounded chat.
The eldest stepping into high school. A threshold. The end of a season. The quiet grief and beauty that comes with watching your kids grow and something familiar slowly fall away.
