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?
**This episode includes honest conversations about addiction, alcoholism, suicide, and violence, as well as their impact on individuals and families. Some parts may feel heavy or triggering. Please listen with care.
