Enrol NowThis course is for you ifโฆ
You love someone who is struggling with addiction โ and you're running out of words.
You've tried before
Every conversation has ended in an argument, silence, or walking on eggshells. You're not sure what you're doing wrong.
You're exhausted
You love them โ but you're scared, grieving, and running on empty. You need something that actually works.
You want a way in
Not a miracle. Just one conversation that opens a door โ so they feel seen, loved, and worth fighting for.
About Your Guide
I was the person your loved one is right now.
For years, I was a sports presenter on Channel 10 in Adelaide. From the outside, everything looked fine. Underneath, I was struggling with addiction โ and the people who loved me kept trying to reach me. None of it worked.
In 2018, a dinner in Glenelg changed my life. The way my sister and my best mate showed up that night โ the words they used, the way they made me feel โ opened a door I'd kept shut for years.
Seven years later, I'm clean, rebuilding, and teaching families exactly what worked on me โ and why.

“I didn't need someone to show me the problem. I needed someone to show me a way out. That's what the right conversation can do.”

Lesson 4
How to prepare โ and what to do after
A practical guide to showing up grounded, staying present when it gets hard, and looking after yourself.
This isn't theory. It's the roadmap from the inside.
Most resources on addiction are written for clinicians or for the person struggling. This course is different. It's built from the inside out โ from someone who was on the receiving end of every approach that didn't work, and was there for the one that finally did.
You don't need letters after your name. You need to know what opened the door for me. That's what this course gives you.
