• Ep 27 Self-Sabotage: Does Your Husband Exchange Family Time For Alcohol?

  Summer is supposed to be a time of fun, family, and freedom — but for Christian wives of alcoholics, events like the 4th of July, barbecues, and neighborhood gatherings can catch you off guard with behavior not anticipated. Expecting Family Time but your husband self sabotages in order to drink and you end up alone or with all the kids without him? In this heartfelt episode of Wife on the Rocks, we’re talking about the real effects of alcohol in marriage — not just on the alcoholic husband, but on the wife and the family unit as a whole. From grill outs where he’s the only one drinking, to family plans that suddenly unravel into chaos, to fireworks nights you end up attending alone with the kids… we get into all of it. You’ll hear: How summer events often reveal painful patterns in alcoholic behavior The emotional toll of being pushed away so he can drink in peace while you carry the family. The subtle (and not-so-subtle) sabotage that ruins what should be family time Why choosing not to attend certain events can actually be wise What it looks like to reclaim peace, even when your heart is breaking And most importantly, we talk about how you can walk this hard road with strength, with faith, and without losing yourself. Even when it hurts, even when you’re crying on the drive to the fireworks — you are not alone. 💬 Want to share your story or suggest a future episode topic?

• Ep 26 Conflict in the World, Chaos at Home: How To Find Peace Amid Addiction, Alcoholism, and Anxiety

  In this episode of Wife on the Rocks, we’re talking about what it feels like to live in a world full of uncertainty—when bombs are being dropped overseas and emotional bombs are going off in your own home. With growing tensions between Israel and Iran and news of U.S. involvement, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the global instability. But for Christian wives married to alcoholics, the chaos isn’t just out there—it’s also right here, in the home. How do we process fear about the future when we’re already living in a constant state of survival? How do we prepare our families wisely when our husbands aren’t in a position to lead, protect, or even participate in the conversation? We explore: What to do when your alcoholic husband can’t offer the strength and stability your family needs How to talk to your kids when they need reassurance Why self-sufficiency and emergency planning feel overwhelming when addiction dominates your daily life Practical steps to quiet your mind and lead your family in peace, even when the world feels like it’s spinning out of control How to reset your spirit with Scripture and walk in God’s wisdom, not fear We’re anchoring this episode in two powerful verses: Philippians 4:4-7 – “Do not be anxious about anything…” Matthew 6:25-34 – “Do not worry about tomorrow…” If you're feeling anxious, under-equipped, or just plain tired of holding it all together—you’re not alone. This episode will help you take a deep breath, reset your mind, and find your footing again with God’s peace as your guide. 🕊 Book a private coaching session: https://calendly.com/wifeontherocks/1hrcoachingsession  More dates are being added soon—watch for the full July calendar to be released next week and this link will update dates automatically. 📩 Have a question you'd like answered on a future episode?

  How do you know if someone is safe to talk to about your marriage, your alcoholic husband, or the chaos addiction is causing in your home? In this episode of Wife on the Rocks, we explore a powerful litmus test to help Christian wives of alcoholics discern who they can trust with their story—and who might cause more harm than help. If you’ve ever wondered whether you should open up to a friend, family member, pastor, or counselor about your situation, this episode is for you. You’ll learn how to recognize the difference between biblical counsel and secular advice and how to spot red flags in emotional conversations. We talk about: Navigating life with an alcoholic spouse through a Christian lens How to find safe, biblical support for Christian wives of addicts The dangers of emotional affairs and male “mentors” Why gossip and broken trust can hurt your healing Secular vs. faith-based advice for wives of alcoholics What makes someone a trustworthy, prayerful support The importance of recovery groups like Al-Anon for family members of addicts Plus, I share how Christian coaching for wives of alcoholics can be a lifeline when you don’t have a safe person in your life who understands what you’re walking through.

• EP 24 Health: Alcohol, Liver Damage, and Loving a Husband Who Won’t Stop Drinking.

  Are you the only one paying attention to the warning signs? What even are the warning signs for Liver Disease and Liver Cirhossis and when to expect them. There may be NO symptoms or concerns at this time, but looking in the future has you concerned? Maybe you are seeing his yellowing eyes, his constant fatigue, his mood swings? Let's unpack this together.  The only one praying for his health — while he shrugs it off? If that’s you, I want to start with this: You are not crazy. You are not overreacting. And you are not being controlling for caring deeply about the man you love. In this episode, I speak directly to the Christian wife who feels alone in her concern — like she’s watching a slow-motion car crash while everyone else looks away. We’ll talk honestly about what alcohol does to the liver, how quietly damage can build, and why your fear makes perfect sense. I’ll also walk you through what you can lovingly release, because it was never yours to carry. 💡 You'll hear: What the liver actually does and why alcohol attacks it silently What liver damage looks like in real life (and why symptoms often come late) The real reason your concern matters — even if he’s not ready to change What it means to care without carrying A reminder that you are not his doctor This isn’t just about biology — it’s about the burden of love, and the freedom of surrender. 📩 Got questions or want to connect?

• EP 23 Can You Be a Good Christian Wife and Still Be Angry At The Unfairness Of Addiction?

  As a Christian wife living with an alcoholic husband, you’ve probably wrestled with a deep emotional conflict: “I know I’m supposed to forgive, but I’m furious.” In this episode, we’re opening up the conversation about anger—what Scripture really says, why it’s not a sin to feel it, and how to move through it without shame. We’ll unpack the emotional toll of carrying an unfair burden, the conflict between Christian service and soul-level exhaustion, and what options are actually available to you as a woman of faith in a hurting home. If you’ve been stuffing your emotions to be the "good Christian wife," this one is for you. 📩 I'd love to hear your story or pray for you—email me anytime at [email protected] 🎙️ Special Tribute: Phil Robertson Before we close, I’m honoring the life and legacy of Phil Robertson, founder of Duck Commander, beloved husband to Miss Kay, and a man radically transformed by the grace of Jesus. His early years were marked by addiction and brokenness, but God wrote a redemption story that has reached millions. Their powerful testimony is captured in the film The Blind, which tells the raw and beautiful journey from chaos to Christ. You can also hear Phil and his family on their podcast Unashamed, where they boldly share Scripture, real-life struggles, and the power of the gospel without holding back. Phil’s story reminds us that no life is too far gone for Jesus to redeem. And that hope? It’s for your home, too.
