  • Healing a Marriage Starts With You | Kristin Carlson | Grit & Grace #23
    Jul 8 2026

    What happens when two people stop trying to fix each other and start doing the hard work of looking in the mirror?

    In this honest conversation, Dana sits down with Kristin Carlson to discuss marriage, addiction, recovery, motherhood, faith, and what it really takes to rebuild a relationship that once felt like it was falling apart.

    Kristin shares her journey through alcoholism, choosing sobriety, and discovering that lasting change didn't begin with changing her husband—it began with changing herself. Together, Dana and Kristin explore how therapy, recovery, faith, and personal responsibility can transform not only a marriage but an entire family legacy.

    They discuss:
    • Why healing starts with the person in the mirror
    • The impact of addiction and recovery on marriage
    • Breaking unhealthy patterns for the next generation
    • The difference between surviving and truly thriving
    • Finding friendship, joy, and purpose again in marriage

    Whether you're navigating a difficult season in your relationship, walking through recovery, or simply pursuing personal growth, this conversation offers encouragement, practical wisdom, and hope.

    Because sometimes the strongest relationships aren't the ones that never broke—they're the ones that chose to rebuild, one day at a time.
