It’s time to speak up. Partners and spouses deserve a voice. They are allowed to share what’s happening in their lives! We need to quit silencing them!

We’re back from vacation and will be getting back to a bit of normalcy! Couldn’t get perfect pics because of the wind, but that’s how we roll!

On the airplane, I (Paige) watched The Fall of Diddy. Anytime I watch documentaries where manipulation, abuse, victim shaming, etc are present; it gets me so fired up to continue spreading our message. I tell people all the time how good manipulators are at doing what they do… it’s very hard to describe, but a lot of outsiders think “why did you stay?” Or “why don’t you leave?” Or “I wouldn’t put up with that.” They have no idea how good manipulators are. They don’t understand the love bombing, the charm, the charisma, the power they can hold over us. It’s a wild effing ride and I understand the game which is why I will continue to have a voice for those of you who feel like you don’t have one yet.

Sharing my story has been scary to be honest and there are things I’d love to forget, but shifting my perspective to understanding how sharing it can truly help others can be liberating.

I see you. I hear you. I feel you. I’m here for you. We will continue doing what we do for all of you!

Y’all are going to want to listen to our episode today! We go off about what needs to change about the treatment industry when it comes to spouses and partners. Tomorrow, we advocate for YOU.

Here’s a preview of the episode description:

The recovery world loves to talk about healing, but what about the people most impacted by the chaos? In this brutally honest episode, Matt and Paige pull back the curtain on what treatment centers, therapists, and traditional recovery programs often miss: the spouse’s experience.

Why are partners immediately labeled codependent? Why is their anger pathologized while the addict’s pain is protected? Why are they expected to forgive before they’ve even been allowed to grieve?

Matt and Paige dive into their own story, breaking down how betrayal trauma affects the brain, what real accountability looks like, and how programs often rush to protect the addicted person at the expense of their partner’s healing. Drawing from personal experience and insights from experts like Dr. Jake Porter, they explore:

•How trauma shows up in the body and brain
•Why forgiveness without accountability is gaslighting
•The myth of “you just need to understand addiction”
•Why codependency is not a diagnosis, and not always accurate
•What couples actually need to rebuild trust and safety
•The missing ingredient in most treatment programs: the spouse or partner

This episode is for anyone who’s ever been told they were “part of the problem” simply for being hurt. If you’re tired of the recovery narrative leaving you out, this one’s for you.

You’ve been told to stay patient.
To hold space.
To be understanding of their trauma.

But no one tells you what to do when you’re the one falling apart.

This carousel is for the ones who are walking on eggshells, blaming themselves, and holding out hope that if the substance disappears… the pain will too.

But here’s the truth… it’s not about what they’re drinking, using, or recovering from.

It’s about the behavior.
The pattern.
The way your nervous system flinches even when they’re “sober.”

If you’ve been stuck in confusion, I hope this post brings you back to yourself.
Back to the basics.
Back to what you’ve known all along but needed permission to trust.

What We Offer at Till the Wheels Fall Off

We built Till the Wheels Fall Off to be more than a podcast. It’s a lifeline for people who are ready to become the strongest version of themselves.

Here’s what we offer:

🎙 A podcast that doesn’t sugarcoat the truth. We talk about healing, accountability, emotional maturity, relationships, recovery, and what it takes to grow. We are not your typical recovery couple.

🧠 Weekly newsletters that dig into mindset shifts, emotional strength, and the hard conversations you need to hear.

📱 IG/TT content Real talk in your feed. The kind that hits you at the right time and changes what you do next.

💥 The Independently Strong program is a trauma-informed program for spouses and partners of people struggling with addiction. It’s 10 powerful modules built alongside a licensed therapist, with real-world guidance, clinical insight, exercises, and clarity. It’s designed to help you stop walking on eggshells, rebuild your confidence, and get clear on what you want from life and love.

🌱 A community filled with others who understand you.

📱 Peer-led calls to give you a safe space to connect with others who have been where you are. (See events tab for details)

We often get asked why we charge for our program, especially by people comparing us to AA or Al-Anon. Those are "free" programs (even though technically they aren’t since you donate and pay for the literature), and we respect that. What we offer is different. We don’t follow the outdated codependency model. Also, treatment centers are far from free and your healing deserves a place too.

This is structured, clinical, trauma-informed support with real tools and guidance that help you heal. When your life is falling apart, you need more than "Keep coming back."

We don’t ask, “What’s wrong with you?”
We ask, “What happened to you, and how can we help you rise from it?”

This work takes time, experience, and a serious commitment to helping people change... not just cope.

So yes, we charge for our program.

We’ve lived this. We know what it takes to break the cycle. And we believe that real transformation deserves real value.

Free content can inspire you, but this program is designed to change you.

We’re not here to teach you how to keep surviving.

We’re here to help you start living!!! With clarity, strength, and no more apologies for your standards.

12 years ago we held each other tightly just like this. We were both scared, confused, shocked, and embarrassed. I had just come clean about a decade-long addiction. I wanted help more than anything in the world. Solving for the addiction was just the beginning. The real work was inside of a promise I made her when we were just 14, “I promise one day I’ll be a good man.” I’d say these words slurring through my speech, after a fight, after getting caught messing up for the thousandth time…but I meant it. That was the day I got serious about it and nothing else mattered. I continue to live every single day to honor her experience and the experience of every single spouse and partner that has been on the other side of addiction. Today was the day I stopped just living for me, and I started living for them. Sending you love if this hits home😔🙏🏻❤️

If you’ve been waiting for a reel to fix your life, it’s not coming.
We don’t post clips to be your solution.
We post them to shake you awake.
The full conversation is where the shift happens. 🫶🏻🫶🏻

This past weekend, a group of listeners (some who had never met in person before) flew in from around the country for a girls’ trip. What brought them together? TWFO. But what they’ve built? That’s all them.

Watching them laugh, connect, and just be was one of the most incredible things we’ve ever witnessed. These are women who are thriving.

This is what TWFO is about. It’s not just a podcast. It’s not just a community. It’s a place where real, lasting change happens. It’s a bridge that connects people who might’ve otherwise felt alone, helping them find strength, clarity, and most importantly, each other.

To every person who listens, who engages, who shows up for themselves and others, you’re proof that healing is possible, that growth is real, and that life can be better than you ever imagined.

If you’re still doing this alone, you don’t have to. Find your people. They’re already here.

TWFO is growing!! We’ve added more episodes, more community support calls, FB Lives (these have been so amazing for the community), and moved the newsletter release day so you can have something for your personal development each day of the week with one rest day.

Our Wheelie Community on FB has been something special. We don’t just offer a place to vent and connect, we offer a place that encourages growth! We push people to do self-care everyday and post about it. The growth we’ve seen in our listeners has been a beautiful thing to witness.

If you’re feeling stuck and need a bump in your own growth, please pop into the community. It may be something you didn’t realize you were missing. 🫶🏻
