"I'm not living in my head. When I engage in this conversation with you, I'm right here, right now, with you."

Jeff Hatch spent years achieving everything and being present for none of it. An All-American career, an NFL contract, and a double life so exhausting he couldn't sit in a room with another human being without performing.

In this clip from episode 69, Jeff and Drew talk about the thing that supersedes any external success: the ability to actually be here. Present. Human with someone.

Because a double life is exhausting. And presence is where peace starts.

"Shame is a liar. You are not the worst thing you've ever done."

Jeff Hatch was an All-American at Penn and a third round pick by the New York Giants. He was also a man carrying secrets that nearly cost him everything, twice.

In episode 69 of The Loving Leverage Podcast, Jeff talks with our host Drew Powell about what secrets cost a man, what a public collapse taught him that getting sober the first time didn't, and the message he has for the guy sitting in his car right now wondering if it's too late.

It's not. Your story is not written yet.

Every parent in recovery knows this tension.

You'd give anything to save your kids from the pain you've been through. And at the same time, that pain made you the man you are, because it pushed you to finally ask: how badly do I want to heal?

As Michael Dinneen puts it: "When you want to heal a little bit more than you want to stay sick, that's when you're gonna heal."

If someone you love is caught in that in-between place, wanting to get well but not quite wanting it enough yet, this conversation is for you. 🎙️

"Why are you so hard on these addicts?"

Michael Dinneen gets that question a lot. His answer: "I'm not hard on the addict. I'm hard on the addiction."

If you love someone who is struggling, that distinction matters more than almost anything. Your husband, your son, your brother is not the enemy. The addiction is. And addiction can be fought, especially when the people who love him learn how.

Michael has spent more than 30 years fighting it alongside men and their families. Hear the full conversation on the Loving Leverage Podcast, presented by Valiant Living. 🎙️

If someone told you this week that you or a person you love has a personality disorder, we want you to hear this.

Dr. Alexandra Repke is a psychologist who specializes in exactly this work, and here's her honest report from years in the room: "I've seen treatment work the way it's intended to work. People get better. People can connect. There's been beautiful redemption stories, story after story."

She's equally honest that the process is painful. Both things are true. If you're carrying a question about someone you love, her advice is simple: it's worth getting clarity.

The full conversation is here, and it might be the most hopeful thing you watch this week: https://www.valiantliving.com/episode67/

"You can treat the addiction all you want. I'm not betting on your recovery."

That's psychologist Dr. Alexandra Repke on what happens when an addiction sits on top of an untreated personality disorder. Her reasoning stopped us in our tracks: the opposite of addiction is connection, and a personality disorder quite literally impedes a person from connecting with other human beings.

It explains something so many families have lived: good treatment, real effort, and relapse anyway. The answer isn't hopelessness. It's treating the whole picture, and that's exactly what this episode is about: https://www.valiantliving.com/episode67/

The question that would have made me furious at my sickest turned out to be the one I needed most.

This video is about a man who was sick for 38 years and had a reason ready for every single one of them. Someone finally asked him a question so blunt it sounds almost offensive.

I’m not going to spoil what happens next, but I’ll tell you why I made this video: every man who calls us has the same list of reasons he can’t get help right now. The job. The timing. The length. I recited that exact list once.

The difference between the men who get well and the men who stay sick isn’t the excuses. Everyone has those. Watch to the end and you’ll see what it actually is.

Save this for the day the conversation happens in your house.

"He's not a narcissist anymore. He can still be a jerk. But he's not the same man he was."

That's what a spouse told psychologist Dr. Alexandra Repke after her husband finished a year of hard, honest work on his narcissistic personality disorder. He dreaded the sessions and showed up anyway.

The misconception that frustrates Dr. Repke most is the hopelessness around these diagnoses. Her experience says otherwise: with the right specialist, true healing takes place.

If someone you love keeps bringing this question to your mind, the full conversation is worth your time: https://www.valiantliving.com/episode67/

There's a moment almost every wife in this world knows and almost none of them talk about.

He finally quit. The thing you begged him to stop, he stopped. Everyone told you this was the finish line.

So why does the house still feel exactly the same?

That question has an answer, and it's the subject of this video. It's the idea that finally made my own story make sense, and I'd never heard it until I was sitting in treatment. Most families fighting this battle have never heard it either, which is why so many of them are winning the wrong war.

Watch it, and if it puts words to something you've been living, pass it along to the one person who came to mind while you watched. Sometimes borrowed language is the beginning of a real conversation.

And when you want to talk it through with someone who's lived it: call 720-669-1285, email [email protected], or visit valiantliving.com. I'd love to hear your story.

I want to tell you about the moment my recovery actually started, because it wasn't the moment I thought it would be.

I was sitting at my own intervention. Everything hidden was now exposed, every piece of my brokenness on the table, and I was braced for the hammer. "How could you? How dare you?" I had already rehearsed my defenses for every version of it.

The interventionist sat down across from me, and the first thing out of his mouth was:

"How long have you been in pain?"

I'll never forget it. My defenses didn't lower. They collapsed. Because for the first time in longer than I could remember, someone was looking at me and seeing more than my behavior. He saw a human being with layers, with a story, with a wound underneath all of it.

That question is the entire philosophy at Valiant Living, the men's treatment program where I ended up going and where I work today. We don't start with the shame or camp out on the acting out. We go looking for the pain, the trauma, the why underneath, because that's where the real work is, and it's the reason the work actually holds.

If you love someone caught in this, here's what I'd offer you: "How could you?" closes a man. "How long have you been in pain?" opens him.

And if that man is you, I'd love to have a conversation about what you'd need to show up honest and healthy in your life. No pressure, no script. 720-669-1285 or [email protected].
