    Welcome to another episode of Hope For Wives. Since we know that many spouses in recovery are listening to our podcast, today we are talking to you. We are continuing the discussion around, "How to share my recovery work with my spouse?" This is sometimes tricky to navigate as balance is needed between oversharing and possibly triggering her, and undersharing or just appearing to check boxes and not truly have your heart in it.

    We Will be Discussing:

    With special guest, Shawna Meek, of Living Stones Coaching. Shawna also contract coaches with Hope Redefined.

    1. What if she wants to know everything, including his thought life? (How do we coach the husband when she wants to know all of his thoughts without him doing more harm? What do we say to the post-disclosure client who wants to know all his thoughts?)
    2. What if he continues to cross the line because he is an over-sharer?
    3. What hope can we leave our listeners around this topic?
