The Unhooked Podcast!

Have you ever felt like the walls are closing in… like you're being roast and your name is being dragged through rooms you’re not even in?


Or maybe it's not just that internal feeling you are getting...maybe it's more direct, personal, in your face.


Whether dealing with a high conflict personality (including those who are active in drug or alcohol abuse), a toxic friend group, a sneaky coworker dynamic, family feuding or it's arising from a divorce or blended family situation...smear campaigns are overwhelming and can make your soul feel sick.


Smear campaigns are:

  • Destabilizing
  • Confusing
  • Overwhelming
  • Can like reality is being rewritten
  • Are not the move of a healthy, honest person (or group)


Listen in for relatable experiences and thoughts along with tools and tips for navigating and even overcoming smear campaigns from the process of recovery!
