Matt sits down for an unfiltered, no-holds-barred conversation about the moment everything changed - the exact point he knew he couldn’t lie one more time, couldn’t hide one more day, and had to choose either transformation or destruction. Paige asks the raw questions our listeners always want answered: What finally made you get sober? What was rock bottom really like? Do you ever miss that life? What does recovery actually look like years later—and how the hell do you rebuild a marriage after all of it?

This is the episode we wish every struggling partner—and every person in active addiction - could hear. It's not sugarcoated. It's not polished. But it is proof that people can change, marriages can heal, and the life you want is possible—if you're willing to do the work.

You’ll hear:

  • What made Matt finally tell the truth
  • The surprising thing that hurt more than losing himself
  • What recovery looked like then vs. what it means now
  • How they rebuilt trust, layer by layer, over a decade
  • What it really takes to be a safe, present father
  • Why Paige stuck around - and what she would never tolerate again

Whether you’re deep in it or on the other side trying to make sense of the wreckage, this episode will meet you where you are.

Send this one to the man who needs to hear it.
And if that man is you...welcome. There’s hope. You’re not alone.
