Nothing’s Off the Table with Louis Ruggiero

Show Notes

Louis Ruggiero welcomes his wife, Mia Ruggiero, for one of his most personal conversations yet.

For the first time, Mia shares what Louis’s addiction recovery looked like from the perspective of the person standing beside him through alcoholism, drug addiction, repeated relapses, broken trust, and eventually gambling addiction.

The conversation also explores the hidden nature of gambling addiction, the loneliness families experience, the importance of boundaries with an addicted spouse, and what actually helped Mia begin trusting Louis again.

🔔 Real stories. Raw comebacks. Nothing’s off the table.

I sit down with people who’ve faced it all: addiction, loss, redemption—and came out stronger. These are unfiltered conversations about resilience, recovery, and finding purpose again.
