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.
