I try multiple different apps and the podcast does not play. It happens on a weekly basis
This guy has no credibility. He is not trauma informed in the slightest. Nothing about this is counseling he says it in the disclaimer it’s for entertainment purposes only. That’s so great how people’s real life childhood trauma and lifelong struggles now served up as entertainment…got it.
I’m a disabled veteran, married to my highschool sweetheart, who cheated on me twice, once before our marriage, and a period after… just found out last thanksgiving. Found out that I’m a people pleaser and never thought that possible, as I was an 11b Infantryman. Never had an issue standing my ground, except with my marriage.

Relentless, no-nonsense counseling-style conversations tackle relationships, trauma, healing, and self-worth. Live call-ins and rapid-fire Q&A blends blunt guidance with practical exercises, journaling prompts, and real-world scripts to help listeners navigate difficult conversations, abuse, infidelity, and parenting challenges. Notable edge for a self-improvement audience is the raw, explicit approach and focus on long-term inner work over quick fixes, with a strong emphasis on accountability and personal transformation across episodes. A recurring throughline is turning painful experiences into actionable growth, often through brutal honesty, storytelling, and step-by-step guidance that listeners can apply in their own lives.
