S3E4: Intentionally Ever After: Healing, Love, and Connection With ZACH & RACHEL LIVINGSTON

For this month on the Healing Sucks Podcast, I wanted to focus on love—specifically, what we can learn from those in healthy, thriving relationships. The guests I have today come from very different backgrounds, each having faced their own battles—one with addiction and the other with PTSD from narcissistic, abusive relationships. After having Zach on my podcast last season, I quickly found myself captivated by their story and the strength of their bond. There’s something so powerful and inspiring in their relationship, and I knew there was a wealth of wisdom I could draw from them, especially in my own healing journey. Recovering from narcissistic abuse has been a long, painful process, and at times, I lost all hope in finding a healthy relationship—one where I could be loved for who I truly am, without fear of control or manipulation. Their story reminded me that healing is not only possible, but that love, real love, is something we can all find if we’re open to it.
