This episode is part of Podcasthon 2026 — thousands of podcasts dropping special episodes to spotlight nonprofits and raise funds for addiction recovery. I’m honored to feature Hazelden Betty Ford because their work saves lives and it’s personal for me.
Joseph Skrajewski (National Director of Business Development – Healthcare Solutions at Hazelden Betty Ford) joins me for a raw, honest conversation about what actually works when alcohol is destroying bodies and families.
We cover:
How alcohol wrecks the liver and relationships
Medical detox for cirrhosis, encephalopathy, and organ damage
The groundbreaking Sesame Street partnership for kids in addicted families
Rebuilding trust after addiction
Real hope stories and why you don’t have to hit rock bottom
If you’re in liver failure, watching someone you love spiral, or just stuck in the shame loop — this one’s for you.
