Description

Real stories about the falls we don't talk about — and the slow, unglamorous work of rebuilding.

Hosted by Tony Bailey. Lived experience of addiction and recovery, late-diagnosed ADHD, public business collapse, and starting over from the ground up — without the bow on top.

No coach-speak. No highlight reels. Just honest conversations about loss, truth, and what it actually takes to rebuild a life when everything you thought you were is gone.

This is the podcast for the people who've fallen — quietly or publicly — and are figuring out how to keep going anyway. The ones who are sick of polished recovery content. The ones who need someone to say it plainly: it's hard, it's slow, and it's worth it.

What you'll hear on the show:

  • Honest conversations about addiction, recovery, and the rooms — both NA and AA
  • Late-diagnosed ADHD and what it changed about the story you tell yourself
  • Trauma, shame, guilt — and the practical work of moving through them
  • Public failure: bankruptcy, business collapse, professional disgrace, and the long climb back
  • Therapy, counselling, the tools that actually move the needle
  • Family, the people who stay, and the mums you don't deserve
  • Faith, doubt, surrender, and the days you almost don't get back up

About the host

Tony Bailey was once a managing director. Then bankrupt. Then banned from the industry. Then broken — and barely speaking to anyone. Now in active recovery and training as a counsellor at Torrens University, he's slowly, honestly, building it all back. This podcast is what he's learning along the way.
