Th/e Honest Edge

On March 25th, 2012 a knock on the door changed Nate & Maggie Blaylock's life forever. As Maggie held her newborn, the person at the door revealed her husband's infidelity. The man she loved and built a family with had a secret life. His past porn addiction had not been resolved. In fact, it had escalated into an out of control sex addiction in their community. Layers of betrayal would unfold in staggered confessions leading them to a therapeutic full disclosure with a polygraph test.

In this episode you will hear directly from Nate & Maggie.

They bravely share the story of tremendous pain, the choice to heal themselves and ultimately their marriage.

We will also discuss whether or not "sex addiction" is real and how it is treated by the professional CSAT (Certified Sex Addiction Therapist) community.

Maggie will speak directly to victims of this abuse and the necessary steps to protect yourself in order to heal.

They have turned their pain into purpose and now work with others to reclaim their lives.

Like a needle in a haystack, I regret not finding them sooner.

Happy New Year!

I'm really excited to have someone special on the show today, my coach and friend Casey Petz. He was born into a family business and was expected to participate. I dare to say, he was "chosen". His ability to see and lead others through complexity is a rare talent that has been hard earned. I asked him how to plan for the new year and he said, "Don't plan for a year unless you plan to be dead."

Join us as we talk about how to create a bigger vision for your life and work backwards into the present. In his words, "It's a close your eyes experience."

For those of you who are in crisis and cannot plan for anything beyond the present moment, he has some solid insight to help you stay on the path.

Remember: Simple isn't easy.

The holiday season can be challenging for many. Oftentimes, we get triggered by family dynamics or the lack thereof. For those who struggle with addiction, it's especially important to be aware and get support.
