📢 We’re re-releasing our second most downloaded episode of the year — and for good reason.

Why don’t our loved ones listen — even when we know they’re hurting? In this powerful solo episode, Jason Coombs, host of The Get Unhooked Podcast, reveals the surprising truth:

👉 It’s not about the right words — it’s about the right connection.

With raw stories, faith-driven insights, and actionable tools, Jason breaks down how families can stop chasing control and start building real influence through trust and rapport. You’ll learn how to create safety, reduce shame, and become the kind of person your loved one can actually hear.

What you’ll walk away with:

• The difference between trust and rapport — and why it matters
• How to use the PACE method (Partnership, Acceptance, Compassion, Empowerment)
• Jason’s story of helping a pregnant, homeless loved one detox on his couch
• The right way to respond to relapse
• How faith, not fear, becomes the foundation for influence

Whether you’re supporting someone in addiction or navigating emotional sobriety yourself, this episode is a guide to transforming conversations, restoring connection, and becoming a healing presence in the chaos.
