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.
