Ep 44 - Keeley: Hovering Above Rock Bottom (part 1 of 2)

SEND US A TEXT, we’d love to hear from you!

What happens when you spend years hovering just above rock bottom—saved again and again, but never truly changing

In this episode, Keeley Bell shares his raw and unfiltered story of growing up in a home marked by abuse and alcoholism, losing both parents before adulthood, and turning to substances to survive unbearable pain. He opens up about the patterns he carried into marriage and fatherhood—and the moment his wife leaving forced him to finally confront himself. This episode offers deep insight into generational trauma, unresolved grief, and the wake-up call that precedes real transformation.

What if the real danger isn’t hitting rock bottom—but hovering just above it for decades?
