As a survivor of betrayal, infidelity, trauma, and emotional abuse, I Chose In to doing the hard work necessary to see through the manipulation, deceit, and lies that came from being the spouse of an addict. I had to accept that this was my life. The only way to heal was to go through the pain, to see it clear, and work through it. Today, I help others find their way from feeling shattered and hopeless to strong and empowered. You are not alone. You are not the only one that is experiencing these types of things. There is absolutely healing and happiness ahead IF you do what is required to get there. I am the Author of Cutting Ties - Healing from Betrayal Trauma as the Spouse of an Addict. As you read it, you will find I don’t shy away from the real, raw, painful truth. My podcast is no different. We can only become something more if we see the truth with clear eyes and be willing to “CHOOSE IN” to doing the hard work. I’m excited to share everything I know with all of you.
- Roxanne Kennedy Granata

Episode 94: You Can Be Okay During the Holiday and Still Stay in Truth Repost: Ep 67
The Holidays can feel challenging. Do you have the belief that you should put on a smiling face and pretend all is well until the Holiday is over? I’m challenging that belief. Let’s be truthful about how we are feeling, do things that bring us peace, take action when needed even on Thanksgiving & Christmas, and allow ourselves and others to feel all the emotions that may come up this year.
Episode 93: Major Healing can come from Breathwork - Repost of episode 69
Finding new ways to heal always brings me joy. Breathwork is a modality for healing that doesn't require talk therapy. But rather a series of rhythmic breathing taking you deep into trapped emotion and connecting you with the awareness that you need to release pain, trauma, or to gain overall peace and clarity. This episode discusses what it is and how you can experience it for yourself.
Episode 92: Let Go & Bloom Into Your Confidence
What do you need to let go of that is holding you captive to feeling your worth and self-confidence? Get curious about that part of you that doesn't feel worth it and doesn't know how to do it. Create a list of who you want to be and what that version of you is deserving of. This will guide you in this season of letting go and preparing you to bloom with new changes and creating a beautiful new part of you.

Episode 91: I’m Not Breaking, I’m Unfolding
It may feel like you are breaking and broken and like you are dying in your experience. While that is true in one sense…nothing will be the same as it once was; if you continue to move through and sit with the feelings, it will be an unfolding process into something beautiful, amazing, and you will continue to find more of you. That process brings enlightenment, peace, joy, and relief. Don’t give up. YOU are unfolding.

Episode 90: Healing for a Lifetime, Not Just a Moment
Even 10 years post trauma, I still find parts of me that show up that need healing. I share a vulnerable experience I recently had and how my continued healing work brought this to my attention. Don't let your wounds stay hidden. As the wounded parts of you feel safe to show up, they will. As those parts trust that you will listen, you will continue to be free. Choosing to heal does not mean you are flawed, but that you value your personal well-being and are worth it!

Episode 89: Working Through Triggers
It’s hard when we’ve been through betrayal to navigate a world where our nervous system is on alert to keep us safe from threats. We want to take action. We want to have control once again of our life. As we heal, our triggers become farther between. What do we do when we are in a public setting and a trigger shows up? How can we manage it? How do we work through it? I use a current trigger as an example to show you what it looks like to feel it and heal it so that you can enjoy all the wonderful experiences life has to offer.

Roxanne shares the raw, unfiltered truth of her experience as the spouse of addict. She is vulnerable and direct.
