What does recovery actually look like when you’re a college student?

In this episode, Sam sits down with Louis Alvey and Jonathan Ignacio from Care & Support to talk about addiction, recovery, and why having a supportive community can make such a difference. They talk about the stigma that can make it hard to ask for help, what recovery can look like beyond substance use, and how students can find support without feeling like they have to hit “rock bottom” first.

They also talk about Celebrate Recovery, peer support, counseling, and the different ways students can take that first step. Most importantly, the conversation is a reminder that you don’t have to struggle alone — and there’s no wrong door when it comes to getting support.

What does it really mean to “settle” in a relationship — and is that actually a bad thing?

In this episode, Sam and Aaron take on a word most people instinctively resist and use it to explore a bigger tension: choosing someone versus always wondering if there’s someone better out there. They unpack how that mindset can quietly erode even healthy relationships, especially when you’re stuck comparing instead of investing.

They reframe commitment as something more active than just a feeling — it’s a repeated choice, especially when things aren’t easy. From early dating to long-term commitment, they talk about what it looks like to stay present, work through conflict, and build something meaningful instead of chasing the idea of a “better option.”

It’s a thoughtful, slightly uncomfortable close to the season that pushes you to wrestle with what you actually want — and what it takes to choose someone for the long run.
