Ever feel like no matter what you do, you're just spinning your wheels? There’s a reason for that. In this episode, we break down four sneaky mental traps that keep people stuck in bad relationships, dead-end jobs, toxic habits, and cycles of regret.

We’re talking about:

• Why you’re measuring the wrong things in your life (and what actually matters)
• How you’re avoiding the hard choices without even realizing it
• Why you give great advice to others but can’t take it yourself
• The hard truth about decision-making—there’s no perfect solution, only trade-offs

If you’re tired of feeling stuck and ready for real change, this episode will challenge everything you think is keeping you safe. No fluff, no sugarcoating—just the truth you need to hear.

In this episode of Paige’s Perspective, we’re breaking down the excuses addicts use to justify staying the same—the guilt trips, the half-promises, and the ways they frame their struggles to keep you invested. You’ve heard it all: “In sickness and in health,” “Unconditional love means accepting me as I am,” “I’m trying! Recovery takes time!”—but what’s really happening beneath the surface? These aren’t necessarily intentional attempts to manipulate, but they are ways addicts avoid growth—and when those excuses keep you stuck in a cycle of harm, it becomes abusive.

Nobody talks about how addicts’ behaviors are often abusive. And society? It lets them off the hook, telling you to be patient, to understand, to wait just a little longer.

But here’s the truth: Addiction may be an explanation, but it’s not an excuse to keep hurting people. Abuse doesn’t have to be calculated to be real. At some point, effort needs to match impact, and words need to turn into action. In this episode, we’re exposing the stories addicts tell themselves and their partners to avoid real accountability—so you can stop getting lost in their excuses and start focusing on what you need.

When addiction, trauma, or abuse shape your life, how much of that story is yours to share? In this raw and thought-provoking episode of Till the Wheels Fall Off, we tackle the controversial question of whether speaking out about your experiences is an act of healing or betrayal.

Too often, spouses of addicts are told to stay silent, to protect reputations, or to keep family struggles private. But at what cost? We discuss the impact of secrecy, how silence perpetuates stigma, and why sharing your truth is not just valid but necessary. From the backlash faced by public figures like Twitch’s widow Allison Holker and Annie Parker (I Did Not Kill My Husband), to our own experiences with addiction and recovery, we unpack the power dynamics, societal norms, and self-limiting beliefs that keep people from telling their stories.

Does destigmatizing addiction mean shielding those who struggle from accountability? Are we overcorrecting to the point where we enable harmful behaviors? And most importantly, what happens when someone else’s addiction becomes your story, too?

Tune in as we challenge the idea of silence as protection and explore how to reclaim your voice—without guilt, shame, or permission.
