From the Grave Podcast

FTG is about spiritual grit for rebuilding your life. Through raw conversations, practical wisdom, hard-earned lessons, and a little inappropriate humor, Scott speaks honestly about breaking destructive patterns, taking responsibility for your life, and finding meaning in the experiences that nearly broke you. This isn’t polished self-help or empty motivation. It’s real talk for people navigating recovery, major life changes, spiritual awakening, anxiety, shame, failure, and the uncomfortable process of starting again. Your past may explain you, but it does not get to define what happens next.

  158 You're Not an Overthinker. You Just Don't Trust Yourself.

  Oct 1, 202642 minS2

  You spend years in your head trying to make the right decision, and years later you're still talking about the same thing. Overthinking isn't the problem. It's the symptom of never learning to trust yourself, and you can't think your way into self-trust. You have to act your way into it. I get into where that lack of self-trust comes from, why love gets mixed with judgment, the punishing God so many of us grew up with, and why confidence only shows up after the action, not before it. Then I share the greatest spiritual experience of my life: getting out of my seventh treatment center with nothing, and saying yes to the job everyone in recovery told me never to take. In this episode: - Overthinking as a symptom of no self-trust - Love, judgment, and the "juggernaut judge of the heavens" - Why you can't get an overthinker to stop overthinking - Acting in opposition to your mind - The phone room story and how it launched FTG - Contempt prior to investigation - No wiggle room: freedom through commitment From the Grave Podcast.

  157 Stop Weaponizing Your Trauma with Chris Howard

  Sep 30, 20261h 19mS2

  Chris Howard is more than seventeen years sober, the founder of Ethos Recovery, and an interventionist who doesn't sugarcoat anything. We talk about what happens when trauma becomes your identity, why so much of the treatment industry has traded real change for comfort and amenities, and why Chris now aims for quality of life instead of abstinence alone. We get into failure to launch, parents who need their kids to stay broken, healthy shame versus shame as dirty fuel, psychedelics, and why avoidance sits at the heart of addiction. Then Chris gets honest about hitting a wall seventeen years in: burnout, fear, and the small integrity slips that nobody sees but you. Whether you're 30 days sober or 17 years, you're going to face yourself at every part of the race. In this episode: "Weaponizing your trauma" and victim identity Why 40–60% of people end up back in treatment Quality of life vs. abstinence as the goal Family roles and parents who need to be needed Shame: signal, fuel, or poison? Avoidance, accountability and the little things What surrender looks like when you have a lot to lose From the Grave Podcast. Stop running. Start rebuilding.

  156 Still Feel Empty?

  Sep 24, 202641 minS2

  You got the job, the body, the routine, the relationship… and you still feel hollow. Here's why. Most self-improvement teaches you to rearrange the furniture on the Titanic. Real change happens in the basement, in the inner world most of us were never taught how to face. In this episode I talk about why productivity and achievement can be the most socially rewarded form of avoidance, what happens when the chaos goes quiet and you're left with yourself, why relief isn't the same as change, and how feeling what you've been avoiding is where the energy to rebuild your life actually lives. "As water reflects the face, so one's life reflects the heart."

  155 Stop Disqualifying Yourself | Britt Reid

  Sep 21, 20261h 25mS2

  Britt Reid has lived through addiction, grief, prison, losing his career, and the kind of shame that can swallow a person whole. In this episode, Britt opens up about losing his brother to an overdose, his own battle with addiction, the crash that changed his life, prison, recovery, faith, and what it means to rebuild when you can’t undo the past. We talk about the 12 Steps, making a living amends, learning to forgive yourself, his relationship with his father Andy Reid, and one of the biggest realizations of the conversation: Stop disqualifying yourself. You are not your worst decision. You are not your shame. And you do not have to spend the rest of your life proving you deserve to be here. This one is about ownership, grace, and what happens when you finally stop running from your own story. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC93nT0ACHVfQGW5-BaLNZMQ https://www.instagram.com/fromthegravepodcast/ https://fromthegraveco.com

  154 Pain Is a Signal | Rob Banghart

  Sep 15, 20261h 6mS2

  Rob Banghart survived addiction, incarceration, homelessness, and an attack that nearly killed him in the tunnels beneath Las Vegas. But this conversation goes way beyond the survival story. Rob and I talk about what recovery becomes after the chaos is over—when the work shifts from simply staying sober to actually learning how to live. We get into God, surrender, childhood trauma, the 12 Steps, learning to sit with discomfort, and why recovery can become another prison if we grip it too tightly. Rob also shares the work he does today with Shine A Light, returning to the same streets he once lived on and helping people move from crisis toward long-term stability. One of the biggest themes from this episode: What if fear and pain aren’t punishment? What if they’re signals? We talk about learning to stop running from discomfort, trusting the mystery, saying “okay” when life calls you forward, and allowing your recovery to become freedom instead of another identity you have to protect. Topics include: addiction, homelessness, trauma, recovery, spirituality, God, 12-Step recovery, surrender, service, mental health, childhood trauma, purpose, and personal transformation.
