      <title>Her 14-Year-Old Daughter Confronted Her Alcoholism</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of the Just for Today podcast, Adriana interviews Kristina, a therapist and recovering alcoholic. Kristina discusses her upbringing in Washington Heights and the deep-seated feelings of loneliness stemming from growing up with an absent father.

The episode highlights her profound breaking point, which occurred when her 14-year-old daughter and ex-husband confronted her about her drinking problem. This confrontation led to an intense moment of suicidal ideation in her kitchen before Kristina made the life-saving decision to enter a 30-day rehabilitation center.&nbsp;<br><br>Today, at 45 years old, Kristina utilizes her personal recovery experience to guide her therapy clients through nervous system regulation and trauma healing.</p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

      <title>He Was Sober for 2 Years. Then He Kissed Me Goodbye and Never Came Home</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Two days before they were supposed to move into their dream home, Makela Allen's husband died by suicide. He'd been sober for nearly two and a half years. She was 29, with a three-year-old, a 15-month-old, and a 15-year-old niece she'd just taken in after her own mother died eight months earlier.</p><p>In this episode of Just For Today, Makela sits down with Adriana to tell the whole story, not the version she posted on Instagram. She talks about the years of drinking and abuse she hid behind smiling photos, the intervention, the night she gave him the ultimatum that got him sober, and the Thursday morning he brought her a cup of coffee before he left. She walks us through the Target parking lot, the cop cars, the drone, the hospital, and the phone call to his mother that ended their relationship for good.</p><p>She also talks about what nobody prepares you for: that there is no research on childhood suicide grief. That her four-year-old told his friends at school a werewolf killed his dad. That her son says "my dad died" to waiters, and she refuses to teach him shame about it. That Father's Day is now donuts at the cemetery at 7am because Arizona hits 100 degrees by 8. That year two was harder than year one. That she felt peace for the first time in eight years, and felt guilty for feeling it.</p><p>And then there's the part people don't expect from a widow: she's dating again. "Ten men, ten experiences," which turns out to be less about sex than about learning who she is when she's not somebody's wife.</p><p>This is a conversation between two young widows who have both told their kids their dad is dead, who have both been asked why they're "still talking about it," and who both keep coming back to the same answer: grief and joy can coexist, and life can still be beautiful.</p><p>⚠️ CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains detailed discussion of suicide, domestic violence, alcohol addiction, and child grief.

      <itunes:subtitle>Two days before they were supposed to move into their dream home, Makela Allen&apos;s husband died by suicide. He&apos;d been sober for nearly two and a half years. She was 29, with a three-year-old, a 15-month-old, and a 15-year-old niece she&apos;d just taken in after her own mother died eight months earlier.In this episode of Just For Today, Makela sits down with Adriana to tell the whole story, not the version she posted on Instagram. She talks about the years of drinking and abuse she hid behind smiling photos, the intervention, the night she gave him the ultimatum that got him sober, and the Thursday morning he brought her a cup of coffee before he left. She walks us through the Target parking lot, the cop cars, the drone, the hospital, and the phone call to his mother that ended their relationship for good.She also talks about what nobody prepares you for: that there is no research on childhood suicide grief. That her four-year-old told his friends at school a werewolf killed his dad. That her son says &quot;my dad died&quot; to waiters, and she refuses to teach him shame about it. That Father&apos;s Day is now donuts at the cemetery at 7am because Arizona hits 100 degrees by 8. That year two was harder than year one. That she felt peace for the first time in eight years, and felt guilty for feeling it.And then there&apos;s the part people don&apos;t expect from a widow: she&apos;s dating again. &quot;Ten men, ten experiences,&quot; which turns out to be less about sex than about learning who she is when she&apos;s not somebody&apos;s wife.This is a conversation between two young widows who have both told their kids their dad is dead, who have both been asked why they&apos;re &quot;still talking about it,&quot; and who both keep coming back to the same answer: grief and joy can coexist, and life can still be beautiful.⚠️ CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains detailed discussion of suicide, domestic violence, alcohol addiction, and child grief.

      <title>His Dying Wife Reached Out to the Woman He&apos;d Later Marry</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Welcome back to the Just for Today podcast, where we dive deep into the uncomfortable with zero filters. I'm your host, Adriana, alongside co-host Kevin, and in this episode we're joined by Cassie and Nick, two people who each lost a spouse to cancer and then, against every odd, found each other.</p><p>Cassie, a nurse practitioner, lost her high school sweetheart, Cody, to pancreatic cancer just 66 days after his diagnosis, leaving her to raise their four children. Before he died, Cody told her something she could barely stand to hear: that he'd been praying for her future husband. Nick, a Texas head football coach, spent three and a half years fighting alongside his wife, Anna, as breast cancer spread through her body, before losing her and becoming a single dad to their two young daughters. What neither of them knew was that Anna had quietly reached out to Cassie, a stranger at the time, while she was still sick.</p><p>In this episode, Cassie and Nick share the raw details of their spouses' final days, what it taught them about advocating inside the medical system, and the almost unbelievable chain of events that brought them together, from a single Facebook message to a wedding just months later. They open up about blending a family of six, parenting as a united front while honoring the two people they lost, and facing a community that judged them for "moving on too fast." Most of all, they talk about how grief and joy can live side by side, and why choosing to love again was the most selfless thing they could do.</p><p>A heads-up that this conversation covers loss, terminal illness, and grief honestly.</p><p>I hope this one stays with you.</p><p></p><p>Connect with Cassie &amp; Nick</p><p>► Instagram: @rebuildingrogers</p><p></p><p>Connect with Adriana </p><p>► TikTok: @justfortodaypodcast </p><p>► Instagram: @justfortodaypodcast </p><p>► YouTube: @justfortodaypodcast</p><p>This podcast was produced by Scufd Studio Pvt.

      <title>Trauma Therapist Amy on Eating Disorders, GLP-1s, and Healing What&apos;s Stored in Your Body</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>I'm sitting down with Amy - a nutritionist of nearly 25 years and a licensed EMDR trauma therapist who got into this work the hard way, through her own ten-year battle with anorexia.</p><p>Amy doesn't hold back. She talks about recovering from an eating disorder in the '80s when there was basically no treatment for it, the abuse and constant moving that marked her childhood, and losing her brother to addiction eight years ago. Along the way she drops the kind of ideas that stick with you: that an addiction is usually the solution, not the problem. That there's a 1940s starvation study showing how restricting food can turn a perfectly healthy person anxious, obsessive, and depressed in three months. That so much of what we call willpower or personality — the overspending, the doom-scrolling, the not being able to sit in a quiet room — traces back to a nervous system that never learned how to settle.</p><p>We also get into parenting: why eating disorders are showing up in kids younger and younger, the small comments that do more damage than you'd think, and why doing your own work is how you stop passing things down. Amy shares her honest take on the whole GLP-1 wave and what it's like helping people come off it, and she rattles off real resources for anyone who can't afford therapy right now — including warm lines you can text from your bed when you just need someone to pick up.</p><p>It's a real one. Hope you get something from it.</p><p>Just for today, keep going.</p><p>This episode touches on eating disorders, addiction, abuse, and grief. If you're struggling, please reach out to a qualified professional or a local support line.</p><p></p><p>Connect with Amy</p><p>► Instagram: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/amyleifermancounseling/">https://www.instagram.com/amyleifermancounseling/</a></p><p></p><p>Connect with Adriana </p><p>► TikTok: @justfortodaypodcast </p><p>► Instagram: @justfortodaypodcast </p><p>► YouTube: @justfortodaypodcast</p><p>This podcast was produced by Scufd Studio Pvt.

      <title>What Is EMDR? Two Trauma Therapists Explain the Therapy That&apos;s Changing How We Heal</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>What if a single therapy session could resolve a trauma you've carried for years? In this episode, Adriana sits down with Dina and Julie — two licensed EMDR therapists with over 40 years of combined experience and the team behind EMDR Transformations Counseling in Gilbert, Arizona — to demystify one of the most talked-about and misunderstood trauma treatments out there.</p><p>They break down what EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) actually is, why trauma gets "stuck" in the brain and body, and how bilateral stimulation helps the logical and emotional sides of the brain finally process what happened — without hypnosis, and while you stay fully awake and in control. They get into why EMDR can work dramatically faster than traditional talk therapy, what it can treat (single-incident trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, phobias, addiction, and more), and what a session actually looks like, including virtual EMDR done from your own home.</p><p>They also discuss a newer clinical offering in their practice: ketamine-assisted EMDR therapy — what it is and how it's used in a supervised, prescribed setting as part of professional treatment. This portion is educational only and is not medical advice or a recommendation; decisions about any medication or treatment should be made with a licensed medical provider.</p><p>Plus, a simple grounding technique you can use the next time you feel overwhelmed.</p><p>Whether you're trauma-curious, considering therapy, or just want to understand how healing actually works in the brain, this conversation makes it click.</p><p>⸻</p><p><strong>⚠️ Content &amp; medical disclaimer:</strong> This episode discusses trauma, abuse, addiction, and mental health treatment, including ketamine-assisted therapy in a clinical context.

      <itunes:subtitle>What if a single therapy session could resolve a trauma you&apos;ve carried for years? In this episode, Adriana sits down with Dina and Julie — two licensed EMDR therapists with over 40 years of combined experience and the team behind EMDR Transformations Counseling in Gilbert, Arizona — to demystify one of the most talked-about and misunderstood trauma treatments out there.They break down what EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) actually is, why trauma gets &quot;stuck&quot; in the brain and body, and how bilateral stimulation helps the logical and emotional sides of the brain finally process what happened — without hypnosis, and while you stay fully awake and in control. They get into why EMDR can work dramatically faster than traditional talk therapy, what it can treat (single-incident trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, phobias, addiction, and more), and what a session actually looks like, including virtual EMDR done from your own home.They also discuss a newer clinical offering in their practice: ketamine-assisted EMDR therapy — what it is and how it&apos;s used in a supervised, prescribed setting as part of professional treatment. This portion is educational only and is not medical advice or a recommendation; decisions about any medication or treatment should be made with a licensed medical provider.Plus, a simple grounding technique you can use the next time you feel overwhelmed.Whether you&apos;re trauma-curious, considering therapy, or just want to understand how healing actually works in the brain, this conversation makes it click.⸻⚠️ Content &amp; medical disclaimer: This episode discusses trauma, abuse, addiction, and mental health treatment, including ketamine-assisted therapy in a clinical context. It is for educational and informational purposes only and is not medical advice. It is not an endorsement or promotion of any medication or treatment.

      <title>&quot;I Felt His Last Breath&quot;: Kelle&apos;s Story of Grief, Addiction, Recovery &amp; Placing Her Son for Adoption</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this raw and unforgettable episode of the Just For Today Podcast, host Adriana Sansam sits down with Kelle Bott for one of the most emotional conversations of the season — a story of grief, alcohol addiction, recovery, and a mother's love that defies words.</p><p>Kelle was just 18 when she lost her father, Jared, after he was hospitalized with pneumonia and put on a ventilator. She shares the harrowing details of being by his side as her family made the impossible decision to let him go — and how the day she felt his last breath, a piece of her "died with him."</p><p>What followed was a two-year battle with alcohol addiction that nearly killed her. Kelle opens up with zero filter about drinking to numb her grief, life-threatening alcohol withdrawals, being wrongly discharged from treatment, hitting rock bottom, and the moment she finally surrendered and checked into detox and residential treatment at 20 years old. She explains the difference between numbing pain and actually grieving, why she calls herself "clean" rather than an addict, and how she learned to grieve experiences she'll never get back.</p><p>In the second half, Kelle bravely shares her adoption journey — discovering she was pregnant just before one year clean, choosing to place her son for adoption, and finding the family that felt "meant to be." She named her baby after her late father, and the open adoption she describes is a heartbreaking, beautiful testament to selfless love.</p><p>This episode covers:</p><ul><li>Losing a parent young and anticipatory vs. sudden grief</li><li>How unresolved grief can lead to alcohol addiction</li><li>What alcohol withdrawal and detox are really like (and why they can be deadly)</li><li>The road through residential treatment, surrender, and self-forgiveness</li><li>Breaking the stigma around addiction: "Why don't they just stop?"</li><li>Choosing open adoption and parenting from a place of love</li><li>Finding hope at the lowest of lows</li></ul><p>Whether you're navigating grief, supporting a loved one through addiction, in recovery yourself, or considering adoption, Kelle's story is a powerful reminder that the dark days end — and that "everything happens for you, not to you."</p><p>🎙️ Hosted by @AdrianaSansam</p><p>CONNECT WITH US: </p><p>► TikTok: justfortodaypodcast </p><p>► Instagram: justfortodaypodcast </p><p>► YouTube: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/@justfortoday-podcast">https://www.youtube.com/@justfortoday-podcast</a>I</p><p>f you want to continue to be part of these conversations, don't forget to like, share, and subscribe — and remember, just for today, keep going.</p><p>⚠️ Content Disclaimer: This episode discusses topics that may be sensitive or triggering for some listeners, including addiction, substance abuse, death, mental health struggles, and trauma.

      <title>Why We Can&apos;t &quot;Just Stop&quot;: The Real Science of Trauma and Addiction | EP 31 | Just for Today Podcast</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this episode of the Just For Today podcast, Adriana sits down with Dr. Storage, a child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist, to explore the deep connections between grief, trauma, and addiction. Adriana shares her personal journey of navigating the loss of her husband Eric and raising three young, grieving children.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this raw and unflinching episode, Ally opens her heart about the devastating reality of loving addicts: first as a spouse to an alcoholic for 13 years, and then as a mother watching her teenage son spiral into marijuana addiction.</p><p>Ally's story begins at 13 when she met her future husband, believing she could control his drinking through sheer willpower and denial. What started as young adult partying evolved into a marriage filled with broken promises, DUIs, and the exhausting cycle of "I won't drink anymore" followed by inevitable relapses. When their son exhibited aggressive behavior, throwing knives and threatening violence over marijuana use, Ally faced an impossible choice: protect her other children or continue enabling her addicted child.</p><p>Through her nine-year journey in Al-Anon, Ally learned the hardest lesson of all: you cannot love someone out of addiction. She shares the moment she had to ask her own son to leave their home, the guilt of family members blaming her parenting, and the misunderstood reality that today's marijuana is not the same substance from decades past.</p><p>Ally's testimony reveals how marijuana addiction led her son into psychosis, stealing money, and rage episodes that terrorized their household. She discusses the challenge of setting boundaries with a child versus a spouse, the judgment from those who don't understand addiction as a disease, and finding peace through detachment with love.</p><p>Key moments include:</p><p>12:54 - The moment Ally's son admitted he didn't feel safe with his father</p><p>24:25 - When aggressive behavior escalated to threats and violence</p><p>28:37 - Discovering stolen pills and money, the final breaking point</p><p>43:19 - Learning to separate the disease from the person she loves</p><p>51:41 - How Al-Anon meetings provided life-saving community and tools</p><p>This episode is essential listening for anyone loving someone through addiction, offering hope that recovery, for both the addict and their family, is possible, even when it doesn't look like what you expected.</p><p></p><p>Connect with Adriana </p><p>► TikTok: @justfortodaypodcast </p><p>► Instagram: @justfortodaypodcast </p><p>► YouTube: @justfortodaypodcast</p><p>This podcast was produced by Scufd Studio Pvt.

      <title>Navigating Sibling Loss and Survival with Carina</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Grief has a hierarchy that nobody talks about, and siblings are often left at the bottom.

      <title>Secrets, Trauma, and Second Chances: Her Survival Story from a Toxic Marriage</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this powerfully honest episode, Adriana's friend Teresa shares her story for the first time, walking us through the slow erosion of her 20-year marriage. What began as a partnership was shattered by a life-altering cancer diagnosis that, while beaten, unleashed a devastating spiral of addiction, depression, and psychological torment. Teresa recounts the lonely years spent trying to "fix" the man she loved, the chilling effect of prescription drugs, and the impossible weight of keeping her family together, until her daughter’s four simple words, "I don't feel safe," changed everything.</p><p>This is a story about the guilt of giving up, the strength it takes to leave, and the slow, difficult path toward healing from trauma. Teresa's journey from a toxic marriage to a new, unhealthy relationship and, finally, to a place of self-awareness and healing, is a testament to resilience and the courage to finally listen to your own inner voice.</p><p></p><p>Key Moments:</p><p>03:27 — The Cancer Diagnosis: A shocking turn that rocked their world.</p><p>08:37 — His Drug of Choice: How losing his identity as an adrenaline junkie fueled his despair.</p><p>11:01 — A Combination of Disaster: The dangerous mix of pain pills, Ambien, and alcohol.</p><p>13:12 — He Beat Cancer, But Broke His Back: The chemo aftermath and the start of a new pill dependency.</p><p>17:50 — "He Wasn't That Dad Anymore": The heartbreaking moment Teresa realized the man she married was gone.</p><p>21:10 — "I Don't Feel Safe Anymore": The words from her daughter that became the final straw.</p><p>23:21 — The Break-In: The terrifying incident that led to a restraining order.</p><p>26:13 — The Guilt of Leaving: Facing judgment from family and the struggle to let go.</p><p>32:26 — Jumping Into Another Bad Relationship: The trap of avoiding silence after trauma.</p><p>40:05 — When Therapy Goes Wrong: The challenge of finding the right therapist and medication.</p><p>59:08 — The Nine-Year Mistake: Teresa reveals she spent almost a decade in another toxic relationship after her marriage.</p><p>1:03:46 — Advice to Her Younger Self: What she wishes she had known.</p><p></p><p>Connect with Teresa</p><p>► Instagram: @love.t.c</p><p></p><p>Connect with Adriana </p><p>► TikTok: @justfortodaypodcast </p><p>► Instagram: @justfortodaypodcast </p><p>► YouTube: @justfortodaypodcast</p><p></p><p>This podcast was produced by Scufd Studio Pvt.

      <title>You Can’t Love Someone Out of Addiction! | EP 15 | Just for Today Podcast</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Grief, addiction, and motherhood collide in one of Adriana’s most vulnerable conversations yet. Answering listeners’ toughest questions, she traces Eric’s relapse from heroin to fentanyl, the everyday tells she missed at first—long “gas station” runs, restless energy, and a different cadence in his voice—and the moment a hidden wrapper shattered her denial. She recounts how she chose clear, concrete language to explain death to her kids, and why “passed away” felt more confusing than kind.</p><p>Adriana speaks candidly about the limits of love in the face of addiction, why ultimatums didn’t work, and how her experience with a non-abusive, high-functioning partner may differ from those in unsafe relationships. She opens a difficult window into her children’s grief—openhearted talks, sudden public tears, anger seeking a safe outlet—and her own guilt from surviving while parenting. Finally, she shares the controversial choice to leave California—and her nearby parents—to return to Arizona, prioritizing mental health, stability, and a sense of home over proximity to support.</p><p>Content warning: discussions of addiction, overdose, and children processing death.</p><p>Connect with Adriana </p><p>► TikTok: @justfortodaypodcast </p><p>► Instagram: @justfortodaypodcast </p><p>► YouTube: @justfortodaypodcast</p><p>This podcast was produced by Scufd Studio Pvt.

      <title>Can One Month of Ketamine Undo Years of Depression and Grief? | EP 14 | Just for Today Podcast</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Disclaimer: This episode reflects Adriana’s personal experience and is not medical advice. Always do your own research and consult licensed professionals.</p><p>In this deeply personal and unfiltered episode of Just for Today, host Adriana Sansam opens up about her experience with ketamine-assisted therapy after years of battling depression, postpartum struggles, and the devastating loss of her husband, Eric. Adriana shares why traditional antidepressants stopped working, what led her to try ketamine, and exactly what the sessions were like, from the IV setup and music to the vivid, Space Mountain-like visuals and emotional breakthroughs.</p><p>She speaks candidly about revisiting childhood trauma, processing grief, finding unexpected forgiveness, and how ketamine created “space” between her and her pain, helping her build new habits, show up more patiently as a mom, and move from “Why me?” to “What now?” Adriana also covers the practical side: session structure, recovery time, maintenance, cost, and why doing the work afterward matters just as much as the medicine.</p><p>If you’re curious about ketamine therapy for depression, PTSD, anxiety, grief, or addiction, or you’re simply seeking hope when nothing else seems to help, this episode offers a grounded, compassionate, and honest look at what healing can really feel like.</p><p></p><p>Highlights:</p><p>• What ketamine therapy is (and isn’t), and how it promotes neuroplasticity</p><p>• The exact structure of Adriana’s 6-session protocol and how each one felt</p><p>• Processing childhood abuse, grief, and anger, and finding acceptance</p><p>• The immediate next-day shift: energy, routines, and relief from the “bed gravity”</p><p>• Parenting after loss: more patience, less panic</p><p>• The realities: cost, timelines, upkeep, and integration beyond the clinic</p><p></p><p>Connect with Adriana </p><p>► TikTok: @justfortodaypodcast </p><p>► Instagram: @justfortodaypodcast </p><p>► YouTube: @justfortodaypodcast</p><p></p><p>⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING</p><p>If you or someone you know is struggling with loss, please know you're not alone. This conversation contains mature themes about death, grief, addiction, overdose, and trauma.</p><p>This podcast was produced by Scufd Studio Pvt. Ltd.

      <title>Ep 3 | The Days that Followed with Adriana Sansam</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>In this emotional episode, Adriana shares the raw and heartbreaking details of the day after Eric passed.
