In this episode The Old Rucker interviews Lisa, who courageously shares her harrowing journey living with and eventually losing her husband Joe to pornography addiction and COVID-19 complications. Lisa recounts her early life, past marriages, and how her second marriage—while initially full of hope—slowly eroded due to Joe’s secret compulsive behaviors rooted in childhood trauma. Despite their involvement in church, marriage counseling, and recovery leadership, Joe’s addiction persisted for over 15 years, manipulating Lisa’s trust and consuming their emotional and financial lives. Lisa opens up about the psychological and spiritual toll, including feelings of worthlessness, secrecy, and self-loss. After Joe’s death and a series of miraculous experiences, Lisa rebuilt her life through faith, support, and business networking. She became a certified health coach and now empowers others—especially widows and women affected by addiction. Her story offers a raw, honest portrayal of resilience, self-worth, and reclaiming joy after emotional devastation.
