In today’s episode, I sit down with Clinton and Nikki Mitchell, who bravely share their 31-year marriage journey through addiction, infidelity, and ultimately, healing. We talk about the pain of secrecy, the power of full disclosure, and how faith, therapy, and community helped them rebuild trust and spiritual intimacy.

Their story is raw and honest, showing that even in the darkest moments, hope and restoration are possible. I’m inspired by their courage and grateful for their wisdom, and I hope their journey encourages and emboldens anyone facing similar struggles.
