Much needed support!

This podcast has been such a source of comfort to me. Knowing that there are strong, wise women out there who’ve been down this road is so valuable. Amy and Alana truly get the pain, they validate the feelings, and they provide context for wherever you are on this journey. I have listened and listened again… THANK YOU!!

I’m so happy I found this podcast!!

I typed in healing after divorce and came across your channel. Listening to women share their stories from the other side of the season I am in right now has been so empowering. I am so broken and needed this 🙌🏼

My lifeline

It was an answer to prayer when I found the choose podcast. I was in so much pain and the safety, compassion, and care I found here was a lifeline to me. Learning that there are people who really understand what I have gone through is the most comforting and hopeful experience. I have listened to certain episodes several times. I love that it is here whenever I need the extra support. Thank you Amie and Alana!!!

New listener!

4 months into Dday and just found this podcast. It makes me feel like I am in the room with them. I’ve listened to many others but never felt this kind of impact before. You both have very kind and soothing voices. Looking forward to listening to more while on this new and depressing journey.

Transforming my betrayal trauma journey

Choose To Be is beauty for ashes in action. Alana and Amie are examples of what I can become. Their wisdom, vulnerability, validation, education, experience, & passion are apparent in every episode. I find such value in their podcast because I am seeing game changing change in myself and in the ways I am showing up to my life. I am healthier. Thank you for being a true blessing in my life!

Best podcast on betrayal trauma I’ve found

I have sought helpful podcasts on betrayal trauma over the past few years and many seem to go nowhere or even add insult to injury in some cases. Not so with these ladies! They have walked the road and come out healthy and thriving. This podcast is full of excellent information AND compassion for those enduring this trauma. I am so thankful for Alana and Amy (sp?). They almost feel like friends on this journey. I consider it an integral part of my healing.

So real!

I appreciate these women sharing their stories and very vulnerable moments. Finding out about my husband’s betrayal has been a VERY isolating experience. These women talk about it in such a real, unrehearsed way that has made me feel less alone and a lot less crazy. Thank you for taking the time to help so many, including myself. I look forward to your podcasts every week.

Life Saver

Alana and Amie are two powerhouse women who GET IT. They don’t beat around the bush, they’re vulnerable and validating, and they always provide tools to help listeners move forward in the journey. I have tried listening to other betrayal trauma and addiction podcasts but none compare to Choose Recovery. If you’re looking for a light during the darkest moments of your life, open up your heart to Alana and Amie’s podcast. Even better, they both are incredible to work with individually!

Worth the listen!

It can be so hard to find resources for betrayed spouses specifically. I love that this podcast is full of tools AND the explanation of why they are useful. Alana and Amie have been in the trenches of recovery and it’s so refreshing and hope-infusing to learn from them the way out. These tools are not just for betrayal trauma recovery—they are life skills and are worth every minute! I haven’t heard an episode yet that I didn’t love and take lots of notes on. Thank you for taking the time to put it together.

Always uplifting and thought provoking!

Amie’s approach to difficult life situations is refreshing. She’s not only studied betrayal trauma but also uses her personal experiences to relate to others by using humor and incredible insights!

Genuine sincerity to help

You can feel the motivation these ladies have to help others. They open up their lives, becoming vulnerable, so they can connect to others in order to help and lift others. They are tender without shying from the facts or hard subjects. Thanks ladies!

A Lifeline For Healing

This podcast is such an amazing resource. So many women struggle after the impact of their husband’s addiction, and to hear from two amazing women who’ve been there and have healed is such a blessing! They know what works and what doesn’t, so listening to this podcast will save so much time and heartache guessing and trying to figure it out on your own.

Answer to Prayers

This is a such a much needed podcast for women to go to and learn of the healing that is desperately needed for recovery as a spouse or family member of an addict. Betrayal trauma can happen in many different circumstances. This podcast and Choose Recovery Services trauma coach, Amie Woosley, give me the tools to love and take care of myself and know what a healthy relationship is. Thank you!
