What if hope isn't something you wait for... but something you decide?

You've watched them spiral. You've Googled treatment centers at 3 AM. You've set boundaries—then broken them. And still, nothing changes.
But what if the problem isn't that you haven't done enough?

In this life-changing episode, Jason shares the moment a counselor handed him a 12-year sobriety coin he hadn't earned—and three words that changed everything: "I believe in you."

Discover how:

• Someone else's belief held him steady when he couldn't see 12 days ahead, let alone 12 years
• Hope isn't wishful thinking—it's a three-part formula: goal, path, and self-efficacy
• Surrender doesn't mean giving up—it means making peace with the worst so you stop manifesting it
• Your healing becomes the model for theirs—even if they're not ready yet

If you're exhausted from trying to save them... maybe it's time to choose hope for yourself.

🎙️ Episode 35: Choosing Hope
This one might not fix them. But it might finally free you.

What if the best way to love them... is to let them fall?

You’ve begged. You’ve prayed. You’ve bailed them out—again. And still, they won’t change.
But what if you’ve been fighting the wrong battle?

In this unforgettable episode, Jason shares the moment that finally shattered his resistance during his fifth treatment attempt—and it wasn’t because someone “fixed” him. It was because everyone stopped trying.

Discover how:

• A peer’s raw confrontation cut deeper than any therapy
• A counselor’s simple question flipped the script: “What are you willing to do for your sobriety?”
• His parents’ refusal to rescue him became the greatest act of love
• A letter to God—filled with rage—broke open a spiritual healing he didn’t know he needed

If you're tired of doing everything for them… maybe it’s time to do something for you.
