In this two-part New Year’s special, we dive deep into the lessons, challenges, and victories of the past year. We reflect on our personal growth, professional milestones, and the hard truths that shaped our journey—and maybe yours too.

Part one kicks off with a powerful year-end review exercise, designed to help you reflect on how far you’ve come—because, yes, you’ve accomplished more than you think. Plus, we share our own goals for 2025, lessons learned, and how we plan to keep showing up authentically in every aspect of our lives.

In part two, an insightful acid test for spotting poor communication and the reality of incompatibility in relationships. Can dismissive avoidant behaviors and everything-is-an-argument mindsets be navigated? We break it down.

In this episode, we’re getting real about complaining—why we do it, when it’s healthy, and when it becomes a trap that keeps us stuck. Complaining isn’t the enemy; sometimes, you need to let off steam and call out the frustration. But here’s the truth: if all you’re doing is talking about the problem without taking action, you’re just spinning your wheels.

We’ll dive into:

• The good side of complaining—how venting can clear your head and highlight what needs to change.
• The downside—how staying in a cycle of complaints keeps you powerless, drains your energy, and blinds you to solutions.
• The key question you need to ask yourself: “Am I releasing this, or am I living in it?”

Because complaining feels productive in the moment, but progress only happens when you’re ready to stop rocking in that chair and take a step forward.

“It’s okay to hate where you are. Just don’t plant roots there.”

Let’s talk about getting out of the complaining trap and back into action.

The holidays can get messy when unspoken issues come to light. In this episode of Till the Wheels Fall Off, we dive into the complexities of accountability during the holiday season. When a spouse or partner’s actions have rippled out and hurt family or friends, how do you navigate the awkward tension?

Matt shares actionable advice for those on the recovering side of addiction, urging them to take ownership and repair the damage they've caused—no matter how difficult it feels. Paige provides insight for partners who find themselves caught in the middle, carrying the burden of smoothing things over. Together, they explore what true accountability looks like, why it's essential, and how partners can protect themselves if accountability never comes.

Plus, they discuss why shame can be a powerful driver for change and challenge the illusion of loyalty when enabling becomes mistaken for support. If you're facing difficult family dynamics this holiday season, this episode offers clarity, validation, and steps forward—whether together or alone.

In this episode, Paige shares thoughts on Optimism Theatre—a concept Matt explored in a recent TWFO article. While he told the story from his perspective as someone in recovery, Paige focuses on why it’s so difficult for spouses and partners to set boundaries and be assertive in these relationships. I dive into how the addict’s performance of optimism—promising change, saying the right things, and creating false hope—can keep us stuck in cycles of waiting and second-guessing. Actions speak louder than words.

In this episode of Till the Wheels Fall Off, we sit down with the brilliant Celeste Yvonne, celebrated author of It’s Not About the Wine and a powerful voice in the conversation on sobriety, motherhood, and societal expectations. Celeste shares her deeply personal journey of quitting alcohol, navigating the mental load of motherhood, and confronting the harmful messaging of “mommy wine culture.”

We explore how women often turn to alcohol to cope with the crushing responsibilities of parenting, the role of societal conditioning, and the deeper truths about emotional labor in traditional partnerships. Celeste candidly discusses her unconventional path to sobriety, the challenges of rediscovering herself without alcohol, and the importance of building supportive communities like the Sober Mom Squad.

This episode is both validating and thought-provoking as we challenge gender norms, discuss the necessity for systemic change, and explore actionable ways partners can better support one another. Whether you’re a parent, in recovery, or simply someone seeking more balance and authenticity in life, this conversation is a must-listen.
